Applications for advanced AI machine vision - uses a simple natural language interface.

About

We would like to find innovation partners able to work with us on a machine vision technology.

Creating a bespoke machine vision system usually involves months of complex work by skilled engineers and scientists. AI can significantly increase the capability ("intelligence") of such systems but is even more intensive in the development phase. This means that the most advanced systems are out of reach to everyone except huge companies with the largest budgets.

Our researchers have democratised access to cutting-edge AI machine-vision by automating the entire process and providing a simple natural-language interface that anyone can use. Replacing months of work by expensive specialists with a conversational text based interface will let anyone who wants to, analyse or monitor a scene or video-feed . You explain what you want to do. It understands and brings together the best image analysis components, coding them into a system that does what you uniquely asked it to do. Use-cases span every market sector and business vertical. Innovating together we can address these markets and share the success.

We are currently creating a demo for one use-case - the area of "anomaly detection" or "defect detection" in manufacturing production lines. The core model can, however, easily be applied to any challenge. Let's work together and see the opportunities.
