A new approach to thermal imaging incorporating machine learning has been developed that improves the classification of objects at distances up to 1,500 metres
Researchers have used a facility featuring hundreds of video cameras to teach a computer to recognise and understand the body language of multiple people in real time
More and more, machine vision systems are expected to make dynamic, automated decisions based on variable conditions. The amount of time and effort to develop these systems can be daunting. Today, the advent of deep learning is changing this landscape and putting automation within the reach of many. Resources such as open-source libraries, Nvidia hardware, and FLIR cameras are helping to make this change happen FLIR cameras have advanced features that minimize the image pre-processing required for neural network training, work seamlessly with platforms such as NVidia Jetson TX-2 and Drive PX 2, and offer 24/7 reliability for trouble-free deployment.
Artificial intelligence is being used in a new multi-modal image fusion technology that automatically combines the best parts of images from different sources
