(IDS: Obersulm, Germany) -- In quality assurance, it’s often necessary to reliably detect deviations from the norm. Industrial cameras have a key role in this, capturing images of products and analyzing them for defects. If the error cases aren’t known in advance or are too diverse, however, rule-based image processing reaches its limits.

By contrast, this challenge can be reliably solved with the AI method of anomaly detection. The new, free IDS NXT 3.0 software update from Imaging Development Systems (IDS) makes the method available to all users of the AI vision system with immediate effect. The intelligent IDS NXT cameras are now able to detect anomalies independently and thereby optimize quality assurance processes.
