Brand new image processing
Image processing systems are used in industrial applications such as for quality assurance in automated systems, for example when bottles to be filled in the beverage industry are monitored for their fill levels. Image processing systems can also be used in non-industrial areas like in traffic engineering or in sport.
Image processing for special industries
Industries like that Automotive industry often relies on image processing due to its high level of automation. Other special applications can be found in the Technical Building Services, Medical Technology, food technology or Microsystems Technology. You will find excerpts below New developments.

With an area of 1 mm², the world's smallest camera module Naneyem from AMS Osram has a fully digital output. AT&S developed the printed circuit board required for the image sensor using embedded component packaging technology. The mini digital cameras are suitable for wearables such as VR glasses or smartphones and for medical devices. They follow the trend towards single-use endoscopes, which are particularly needed in bronchoscopy during the Covid-10 pandemic.

The new Verisens vision sensors XF900 and XC900 from Baumer control the collaborating robots (cobots) from Universal Robots after just a few minutes of setup. The robot-compatible vision sensors are mounted directly on the cobot or above it. The calibration with regard to image rectification, conversion to world coordinates and coordinate comparison between the vision sensor and the robot takes place automatically and very easily thanks to the patent-pending Smartgrid.
