The new version also optimizes graphics processing unit (GPU) memory handling, providing a 30% to 50% reduction in training and processing (inference) time. ViDi Suite’s feature recognition tool, ViDi Blue, has added the capability of identifying and locating features regardless of size and orientation. ViDi Systems recently launched Version 2.0 of its ViDi Suite deep learning-based industrial image analysis software, which offers major advances in image analysis capabilities and speed from the previous version. "We are excited to bring this expertise to Cognex to broaden the scope of applications that can be addressed at a world-class level with Cognex vision." "The ViDi team is at the forefront of applying deep learning techniques to the real-world challenges of industrial machine vision," said Robert J. Using feedback, the software trains the system to distinguish between acceptable variations and defects.
ViDi’s software-which has been recognized with both Platinum and Gold Innovators Awards from Vision Systems Design-uses artificial intelligence to improve image analysis in applications where it is difficult to predict the full range of image variations that might be encountered. Cognex Corporation has announced that it has acquired ViDi Systems, a company that develops deep learning software for industrial machine vision applications, in a deal that was completed on April 4.
