At IDS, image processing with artificial intelligence does not just mean that AI runs directly on cameras and users also have enormous design options through vision apps. Rather, with the IDS NXT ocean embedded vision platform, customers receive all the necessary, coordinated tools and workflows to realise their own AI vision applications without prior knowledge and to run them directly on the IDS NXT industrial cameras.

Now follows the next free software update for the AI package. In addition to the topic of user-friendliness, the focus is also on making artificial intelligence clear and comprehensible for the user.

Software update

An all-in-one system such as IDS NXT ocean, which has integrated computing power and artificial intelligence due to the "deep ocean core" developed by IDS, is ideally suited for entry into AI Vision. It requires no prior knowledge of deep learning or camera programming.

The current software update makes setting up, deploying, and controlling the intelligent cameras in the IDS NXT cockpit even easier. For this purpose, among other things, an ROI editor is integrated with which users can freely draw the image areas to be evaluated and configured, save and reuse them as custom grids with many parameters.

Data security and AI

Communication between IDS NXT cameras and system components can be encrypted via HTTPS

In addition, the new tools Attention Maps and Confusion Matrix illustrate how AI works in the cameras and what decisions it makes. This helps to clarify the process and enables the user to evaluate the quality of a trained neural network and to improve it through targeted retraining.

Data security also plays an important role in the industrial use of artificial intelligence. As of the current update, communication between IDS NXT cameras and system components can therefore be encrypted via HTTPS. Just get started with the IDS NXT ocean Creative Kit.

Industrial-grade platform

Anyone who wants to test the industrial-grade embedded vision platform IDS NXT ocean and evaluate its potential for their applications should take a look at the IDS NXT ocean Creative Kit. It provides customers with all the components they need to create; train and runs a neural network.

In addition to an IDS NXT industrial camera with 1.6 MP Sony sensors, lens, cable, and tripod adapter, the package includes six months' access to the AI training software IDS NXT lighthouse. Currently, IDS is offering the set in a special promotion at, particularly favourable conditions.
