Neuromorphic Processing Set to Propel Growth in AI Increasing volumes of data required for smart devices are prompting a reevaluation of computing performance, inspired by the human brain’s capabilities for processing and efficiency. Smart devices must respond quickly, yet efficiently, thereby relying on processor cores that optimize energy consumption, memory access, and thermal performance. Central processing units (CPUs) address...
Evaluating Illumination Options for Telecentric Imaging For machine vision applications requiring telecentric lenses, the proper illumination can be critical to the success of the imaging system. Achieving properly angled, even illumination can greatly...
3D Vision Bolsters Robotic Bin Picking For robots, unstructured bin picking has traditionally been challenging, if not effectively impossible. Part of the reason is mechanical, since getting a robotic arm into a bin and securing its grip...
Editorial
Standard for embedded vision The rollout of AI-enabled chips, such as Intel’s Movidius line and platforms from GPU powerhouse NVIDIA, are proof positive that AI at the edge is more than simply a trend. It’s a seismic change affecting the machine vision sector. The combination of very low-power, high-performance computing technology coupled with AI and deep learning is the key driver behind the newest embedded vision systems,...
