IDS NXT Industrial Cameras with AI

Name: IDS NXT Industrial Cameras with AI
Brand: IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH

Artificial intelligence opens up new fields of application for camera technology and image processing. IDS NXT rio and rome show what an easy-to-use solution for industrial purposes can look like. Like IDS NXT vegas, the two new IDS NXT camera families are characterized by their highly flexible application spectrum. Users can create individual image processing tasks and install and execute them as vision apps on the devices. Application-relevant pre-processed data or results are easily transferred to a PC or machine control unit. Furthermore, the freely programmable platform is not tied to any predefined tasks. This creates universal application possibilities which will also include artificial intelligence tasks in the future.

A specially developed AI vision app allows to turn these models into universal, high-performance inference cameras with an integrated ANN accelerator. Equipped with this AI-based embedded system, users can load pre-trained ANNs (artificial neural networks) of different architectures onto the cameras and then use them for tasks such as object recognition or classification.

The FPGA-based AI acceleration enables inference times of a few milliseconds. In terms of accuracy and speed of AI tasks, cameras of the IDS NXT platform can keep pace with modern desktop CPUs - while at the same time requiring considerably less space and energy. Availability is planned for Q2/2019.

IDS NXT rio & rome can also be used as standard industrial cameras thanks to the "Smart GenICam App" designed by IDS. Control and function parameters, as well as application results, are made available in a standardized form by the app – Vision-compliant via the device-specific XML description file of each GenICam-compliant application. Third party applications, such as HALCON, process the data generated by customer-specific programming just as easily as if they were part of the standard functionality of the camera.
