definition of terms

Machine vision (MV) is the process of applying a range of technologies and methods to provide imaging-based automatic inspection, process control and robot guidance in industrial applications.

Computer vision is the science that aims to give machines and computers a capability similar to the human eyes and brain together.

Embedded vision is the merging of two technologies: embedded systems and computer vision

the future for embedded vision

An inflection is happening in the embedded-vision space - it is becoming real now

Becoming a multi-billion dollar industry

Expected to be one of the top tech-growth areas for the next decade

A number of enabling technologies have advanced past the threshold for easy adoption

Semiconductor: Embedded Processing (DSPs, image-processors, GPUs, SoCs), CMOS (and CCD) image sensors, Optics,

Optics: Minaturization and low-cost (smart-phone cameras)

Software: Open-Source algorithms (www.openCV.org)

Data Storage and Communication: Become plenty, cheap and reliable

Embedded-Vision is expected to be a key-driver for future product innovation

Solutions and products to be developed

OEM Solutions

Markets (in current priority)

Agriculture and food sorting

Embedded Vision for Robots

Others: Electronics, Pharmaceutical, Automotive

Use the above effort and initial investment to build a team and capability

Expand into other areas of embedded vision

Industrial Vision platform

Processing on Android tablets and/or embedded cubes (sub-$500) and not PC

Use optimized cameras, even high-quality webcams

Make the use 3D cameras common-place

Use LEAP for surface inspection and gauging

Use Kinect for longer distances

11Thursday 23 August 12

Approach...strategy

Start small, do Machine Vision projects, and learn the field

In parallel, build an embedded vision system for a specific application

Use the above effort and initial investment to build a team and capability

Expand into other areas of embedded vision

Zentron LABS Differentiators

Multidisciplinary - optics, imaging, embedded-systems, algorithms, domain-expertise - can establish a barrier to entry

Bringing the rigor of chip-design to embedded-vision - improves deployability

Optical design expertise - which is otherwise uncommon with machine-vision companies

Cost differentiation - using mass-market equipment for industrial, through algorithm innovations

Availability of good embedded design talent in India

Access to cloud technology of Zoho Corp.

13Thursday 23 August 12

skills to be developed

Vision applications using existing tools (like NI Labview, Cognex, etc.), feature extraction, lighting, data-logging

Understanding the customer, project complexity estimation, provisioning

openCV exposure and expertise

Python as a higher level quick-prototyping language + Matlab for lower level evaluations

Embedded software for imaging applications - C++

Stick-PC - Raspberry Pi, Cotton Candy, Arduino, Allwin

App development in tablet OS (Android and/or iOS)

ginserv incubationWe like the Ginserv incubation space (particularly for the ambience, though the spaces are small)

Our needs are per the previous slide in terms of number of seats/people

Plus, 30% more space for a lab

Lab will have cameras, lighting, controls and processors, embedded boards

It would be nice if you can provide us an “unfurnished 6-seater office”, as the “lab space”

We are an innovative product startup...hope you will support us
