2D machine vision systems and deep learning

One focus of the trade fair presence is Cognex with its 2D image processing systems from the In-Sight series. The current highlight of this product series is the recently introduced In-Sight 2800 image processing system, which combines innovative deep learning technologies with rule-based tools in a user interface designed for simplicity and from simple presence/absence detection of test objects to complex categorization - and sorting problems covers a wide range of inspection applications in factory automation. The system enables the use of various lenses, some of which are equipped with high-speed liquid lenses, via adapters. By quickly controlling different focus settings, these lenses open up applications in which objects with frequently changing dimensions need to be inspected.

The intelligent In-Sight D900 camera also harnesses the power of deep learning to solve difficult OCR, assembly verification, and defect detection applications that are virtually impossible to achieve with traditional rules-based vision tools. The In-Sight ViDi software used enables applications to be developed without using a PC, making deep learning technology accessible to non-programmers as well. It uses the In-Sight spreadsheet platform, which simplifies application development and integration into factory networks.
