Development Of Intelligent Camera For Industrial Use

With the ever improving technological developments, a lot of manufacturers are now able to create a cost effective and highly smart intelligent camera with the capacity to have built in processing system to analyze every captured image. Some companies would use their old products and integrate them with modern, inexpensive yet effective sensor technology that is available in the market today.

There are many benefits in using intelligent cameras particularly in the industrial sector. Several industrial manufacturing plants, ranging fromthe food and beverages industry to textile manufacturing, mechanical industry, and other related business sectors, are now using smart cameras as part of their overall operation. In the industrial sector, the intelligent, or “smart” camera is used for various operational activities including but not limited to inspecting and evaluating quality control especially on the production line. The manufacturer of the world’s fastest bottle inspection machine uses this particular image sensor technology solely for quality control purposes. This combination of highest speed with highest quality inspection rate enables them to dominate the global market.

Such a high speed bottle inspection system with a built-in automated sorting mechanism is equipped with high speed, ultra intelligent cameras to operate nearly independently from human eyes and human error, at dramatically higher speed than humanly possible. . And since the global manufacturing industry today is now moving towards full automation of most of the machine inspection systems that used for their production, having a high speed smart camera on the background offers a competitive edge. The military is now using the technology of the intelligent camera particularly in controlling unmanned vehicles for research and surveillance purposes. All of these unmanned vehicles are controlled remotely and the smart camera plays an important role in navigation, gathering still images or real time moving images, and developing intelligence for the military. This minimizes the risk for field – based troops especially when it comes to directly gathering intelligence. With smart camera technology, it is now possible to obtain vivid and high resolution images even without the intervention of a human. In the battle field, less human involvement can also mean fewer casualties for the military troops. The field of medicine is also now enjoying significantly the benefits of intelligent or “smart” camera. For most of the high risk operations, smart machine vision is used in critical monitoring situations, such as brain and heart surgery. Just as with a military application, a smart camera with real time and online capability allows surgeons to perform offsite surgical procedures. This allows for dramatic efficiency during surgery. Brain and heart monitoring can be done remotely, by experts working from anywhere in the world, observing the surgery in real-time, alerting the operating staff of any critical changes in heart and/or brain functions, but without having to be physically present in the operating room. . This is a radical breakthrough in the fields of medicine which can save many lives in the process. The introduction of intelligent camera both for the use of public and private sectors allow for better improvement of the lives of millions of people while enhancing the capabilities of manufacturers, medical and military applications, and other related functions that directly benefit from smart camera technology.
