About This Webinar
This webinar will help familiarize end users, machine builders, and systems integrators with the world of AI in machine vision. The talk will cover convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and how they are used in machine vision, the key steps to deploying AI into machine vision solutions, and how the IDS NXT ocean platform has simplified these steps for users who are not AI specialists. The IDS NXT ocean platform enables users to grab and label product data, use this data to train CNNs in IDS NXT lighthouse cloud-based training software, and deploy this solution all with one device.
With the more complicated portion of deep learning taken care of, users can focus on getting the best quality data from their systems and use it to train a tailored solution for their unique problem. The webinar will also touch on best practices regarding images captured by the user and provided as input to the CNN. Running the trained AI is painless on the IDS NXT deep ocean core, which employs FPGA technology to perform hardware-accelerated execution of the trained CNN on the camera. This core and hardware package affords your application excellent efficiency in high inference/watt, and performance in low inference times.
