Teledyne’s new AI software allows learning at runtime
August 10 2021 - 8:00AM
Teledyne is pleased to announce its Sapera Vision Software Edition
2021-07 is now available. Sapera™ Vision Software from Teledyne
DALSA offers field proven image acquisition, control, image
processing and artificial intelligence functions to design, develop
and deploy high-performance machine vision applications.
The new upgrades to the Sapera Vision Software
include enhancements to its AI training graphical tool
Astrocyte™ and the image processing and AI libraries tool
Sapera Processing.
“We are excited to introduce continual learning to
the Astrocyte package. This helps improve the accuracy of a
classifier ‘on the field’ by training only the samples that fail,
without having to retrain from scratch,” said Bruno Ménard,
Software Director for Teledyne’s vision solutions group. “Astrocyte
now includes a new anomaly detection called ‘pixel-level anomaly
detection’. This new algorithm is much more robust and precise than
the previous one. It also has the ability to generate heatmaps at
runtime,” he continued.
Sapera Vision Software is ideal for applications
such as surface inspection on metal plates, location and
identification of hardware parts, detection and segmentation of
vehicles and noise reduction on x-ray medical images.
New features in this release:
- Continual Classification: New algorithm allows
to pre-train a classifier in Astrocyte and then perform further
training at runtime in Sapera Processing.
- New Anomaly Detection with Output Heatmaps:
New Anomaly Detection algorithm which is more robust in locating
defects while providing the ability to generate output heatmaps.
Heatmaps at runtime are very useful for obtaining the location and
shape of defects without the need for graphical annotations at
training.
- Live Acquisition for Dataset Creation: When
creating dataset in Astrocyte you can now acquire live video from a
camera and generate a series of files automatically prior to
training. During acquisition images are prepared for training (i.e.
adjusted for size and aspect ratio) before being saved to
disk.
