Pleora and Lemay.ai Partner to Boost Productivity and Profitability for Real-Time Imaging Applications
Combining real-time sensor networking and artificial intelligence capabilities provides designers and end-users with a faster path to implementing machine-learning based inspection, detection and classification
Pleora Technologies and Lemay.ai, respective leaders in sensor networking and artificial intelligence, today announced a strategic partnership that simplifies the introduction of machine learning capabilities into real-time imaging applications.
Pleora's hardware and software networking technologies interface imaging and data sensors with processing platforms and display panels in industrial, medical, and security & defense applications. Lemay.ai specializes in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and deep learning techniques that augment human capabilities to optimize processes and boost profitability for enterprise and government clients.
With this partnership, Lemay.ai's AI expertise will be integrated directly into Pleora's smart frame grabber and embedded interface products and available as a configurable standalone SDK (software development kit) tuned for real-time vision applications. The companies will be demonstrating the integration of Pleora's RuggedCONNECT Network Video Processing Unit and Lemay.ai's tank detection AI for advanced battlefield awareness and decision support at DSEI (London, UK September 10-13, 2019, stand N3-504). The companies are also collaborating on smart imaging solutions integrating real-time sensor networking and machine-learning based object detection, tracking and classification for industrial automation systems.
"AI promises to significantly improve decision making and automation across all market served by real-time imaging, but designers are struggling with the cost and complexity of implementation," says Harry Page, President, Pleora Technologies. "Partnering with Lemay, we're significantly lowering the barrier to entry so designers and end-users can quickly and cost-effectively leverage the benefits of AI, machine learning, and sensor networking through drop-in hardware and software solutions."
"Our expertise is developing artificial intelligence capabilities that help optimize processes to meet business or mission objectives" said Daniel Shapiro, PhD, CTO at Lemay.ai. "Drawing on our collective experience across a range of industries, our team at Lemay.ai has perfected AI techniques that surpass traditional quality control and classification to identify previously unrecognizable defects on factory floors and deliver more detailed decision support capabilities for security and defense applications."
Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
