Computer Vision Industrial Applications

The team offers end-to-end development of turnkey computer vision applications for the industry. In most cases, solutions for optical control of product quality, correct assembly verification and optical recognition of different components or properties of products, parts or semi-finished products at different production stages are developed. These applications mostly improve production efficiency (faster processes, acceleration of machine cycle by replacing time-consuming manual control by an automatic system), quality (prevention of defective work by forbidding the start of assembly, timely detection of defects), and provide for simple data recording during production; these data can be used later for various analyses.

System design typically includes:

• Specification of the requested function
• Thorough analysis of conditions
• Analysis of technical properties in terms of optical information processing
• Analysis of human visual information processing
• Design of algorithms for processing, debugging and optimisation of algorithms
• Software development and implementation
• Hardware logistics, installation, software installation, etc.
• Commissioning

Experience confirms that optical control based on a camera system and evaluation software can often improve efficiency and quality of production. The same applies to similar segments, such as the service industry, agriculture, etc., generating economic benefits for the client. Secure remote administration and service staff training can be provided, if needed.

Medical Image Processing

Our team offers an end-to-end development of software tools for medical image analysis. Modality being used imposes no restrictions; the most frequent imaging modalities are CT, MRI and USG. Most frequently developed applications are those for automatic or semi-automatic organ identification and highlighting or measuring of organ parameters or pathologies in recorded images. Tasks being solved include identification of various pathologies, calculations of the circumference, volume or size, vascular tree monitoring, etc.

System design typically includes:

• Specification of the requested function
• Thorough analysis of conditions, type and properties of image data
• Analysis of the process of visual information processing by a physician
• Design of algorithms for processing, debugging and optimisation of algorithms
• Software development and implementation
• Hardware logistics, connectivity, software installation, etc.
• Commissioning

Experience confirms that application of computer vision methods often improves the efficiency of physician’s work by providing (semi)automatic parameter calculations that would otherwise require a lot of physician’s time, or by pre-processing of large data volumes and identification of patients with more serious conditions, who can then receive more of the physician’s attention. Service staff training can also be provided as necessary.
