Image Processing – A Key Technology

Image Processing

Image processing has become a key technology in the implementation of higher automation levels, quality controls and highly precise measurement tasks. In addition to industrial applications, image processing is seeing increasing use in the assistance systems we encounter on a day-to-day basis.

For us, the term image processing covers more than just a camera and software. We work with our customers in the development of solution concepts that incorporate aspects such as sensor fusion, mechanics or electronics. Our expertise in the area of optics, sensors and signal processing is built on a broad foundation of mechatronics.

Development

In the development of image processing algorithms, we rely on extensive libraries such as HALCON, Matlab, OpenCV or LabView, for example. Depending on the task, individual software is created on the basis of the available libraries. This allows us to ensure efficient software development with a focus on up-to-date technologies.

For prototype development, we have laboratory equipment consisting of cameras, lenses lighting, lasers and much more.

Applications

Our image processing applications are used in the industrial environment for quality control, process optimization, machine control, robot control, orientation and more.
