IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH - Be Creative, Break the Rules – AI-based Imaging Without Prior Knowledge Be Creative, Break the Rules – AI-based Imaging Without Prior Knowledge

IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH
The application possibilities based on intelligent cameras are almost limitless. Since traditional vision solutions work with a fixed set of rules, organic or rapidly changing objects are a huge challenge for them. Artificial intelligence, on the other hand, can handle such situations with ease.

Get More Out of Your Optical Measurements Get More Out of Your Optical Measurements
Thu, Sep 16, 2021 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT
Maximizing the information captured within optical measurements is the key to discovering smaller effects and observing faster processes, and yet the signal of interest is often buried in an inevitable noise floor. Lock-in amplifiers and boxcar averagers can improve the signal-to-noise ratio by averaging the signal while suppressing spurious noise. In this webinar, Claudius Riek, Ph.D., of Zurich Instruments, focuses on three techniques within their typical application areas to help you choose the best approach and save time when setting up your measurement. Presented by Zurich Instruments.
