News Flir invests in Cvedia to add AI to its thermal sensors
Flir Systems has made a strategic investment in Cvedia, a soſtware company that helps users develop machine learning applications. Cvedia provides solutions that
transform raw images into training sets for deep learning algorithms. Its SynCity simulator platform is a virtual test bed that allows users to train, validate and verify machine learning algorithms, largely for building autonomous systems. Flir wants to use Cvedia’s
technology to develop thermal spectrum-based deep learning training tools for integrating artificial intelligence into Flir sensors and systems. Te investment will provide Cvedia with growth capital to enable it to expand its business. SynCity features real-world
physics; simulates a multitude of lighting and environmental conditions; and renders objects such as people and automobiles in a manner that AI systems interpret as
In brief
Professor Dr Carsten Steger, director of research at MVTec Software, has been elected spokesman of the technical committee of the German Association for Pattern Recognition (DAGM). Steger is the first industry representative to hold such a high-profile position in the association’s history.
IDS Imaging Development Systems has opened a subsidiary in South Korea.
Nortech Systems’ Intercon 1, a division specialising in machine vision cabling, has entered into an agreement to take over manufacturing Northwire’s discontinued machine vision cable assemblies.
SLAMcore, a UK developer of Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms for robots and drones, has raised $5 million in funding in order to help it deliver its technology to market.
lifelike. Tis produces high-quality datasets that are fed into customer neural network frameworks, shortening the time and easing the process of training these systems. Flir has also added traffic analysis soſtware to its product portfolio, with
the acquisition of Acyclica. Based in Denver, Colorado, it delivers cloud- based analytics of data generated from sensing sources, such as visible and thermal cameras, roadway sensors and intersection signals. Te Acyclica solution is used
by transportation departments to improve traffic flow and safety. Acyclica’s APIs can be integrated into third-party intelligent transportation systems, including Flir ITS cameras, which are currently offered with Acyclica technology on board.
