Embedded Imaging: Widespread Applications for Compact Low-Cost Vision
The cost of the electronics and cameras needed for computer vision have plummeted making low-cost embedded vision for industrial robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles, a real possibility. The technology for computer and embedded vision exists, is now quite cheap, and tools for using it are making it increasingly easy for non-experts to build products based on vision.
Some of the industrial applications where embedded vision is expected to have an impact include:
- Automotive – development of Advanced Driver Systems for autonomous vehicles
- Augmented Reality – improved vision systems that merge virtual with physical data for medical and training applications
- Chemical – vision is used for improved quality assurance
- Consumer Electronics – Used in electronics like smartphones, computers, game controllers.
- Defense – surveillance drone and aircraft with synthetic vision systems
- Drones – used for agriculture, surveying, and urban planning
- Medical – smart medical devices and monitors
- Robotics – used for robotic mobility, quality control and inspection
- Security – used for video surveillance and intrusion detection
- Semiconductors – used for quality control and inspection
- Supply Chain Management – automated guided vehicles (AGVs), barcode scanning, inventory tracking, and traceability
