Embedded Vision in Action

"Vision" for industry and series products

Embedded Vision brings image capture and image processing to devices, machines, and systems. The technology enables the recognition of objects and people, process and quality control, as well as navigation and autonomous decision-making. With its data depth and analyzability, Embedded Vision is a key technology for numerous industries and applications.

Vision Components has been developing and producing Embedded Vision systems, 3D camera sensors, and MIPI cameras, as well as extensive accessories, for over 30 years. They prove themselves worldwide in autonomous humanoid robots and smart devices, in medical products, and even in space applications. There are no limits to the possible uses – and there are successful references for many of them.

More Information on Embedded Vision applications

Do you have any questions?

Embedded Vision is used as a technology for integrating cameras and image processing into devices and machines. For this purpose, ultra-compact camera modules, such as the VC MIPI Cameras from Vision Components, are connected to corresponding processor boards, and these embedded vision systems are built into the devices. There are also complete vision systems that directly integrate camera and image processing. Edge processing—meaning data processing directly on the devices without additional computing units—is typical for Embedded Vision.

 

MIPI CSI-2 has established itself as the standard interface between the camera and the processor board. When selecting cameras and components for professional series products, industrial-grade quality and long-term availability are important.

Embedded Vision is used everywhere: from automation and quality assurance in industry, to driver assistance systems, autonomous driving, and traffic monitoring, all the way to robotics, agricultural technology, medical technology, and laboratory automation. Driven by the technological advancement of cameras, processors, and AI applications, Embedded Vision is also increasingly being integrated into intelligent household appliances and other smart devices. Cameras and embedded vision systems from Vision Components are used, among other things, in humanoid robots and in space.

Typical embedded vision applications are optical inspection systems and equipment for process monitoring in industry, for example, for weld seam inspection. In the automotive sector, embedded cameras are used for driver assistance systems such as lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, and emergency brake assist. In smart farming or precision farming, embedded vision systems from Vision Components enable the targeted use of herbicides, and harvesting robots automatically detect the ripeness of fruit.
