Cognex VisionPro Vidi is a machine vision software platform designed for industrial inspection applications. It is part of Cognex’s VisionPro product line, which offers powerful vision tools for automation and inspection tasks. VisionPro Vidi specifically focuses on simplifying and accelerating the setup of machine vision systems by providing a user-friendly environment with advanced deep learning capabilities. VisionPro Vidi is intended for users who require both the flexibility of traditional machine vision and the benefits of modern artificial intelligence (AI)-powered deep learning techniques. It allows manufacturers to address complex inspection challenges that may be difficult to solve with traditional vision tools alone, such as inspecting parts with variations in appearance, shape, or texture. Key Features of Cognex VisionPro Vidi: Deep Learning-Based Inspection: Deep Learning Models: VisionPro Vidi leverages deep learning algorithms to perform tasks like defect detection, part classification, and recognition of objects with complex or variable features. It is capable of identifying subtle defects, classifying parts with varying appearances, and recognizing parts that are hard to distinguish using traditional methods. No-Code Setup: Easy-to-Use Interface: VisionPro Vidi is designed for users who may not have machine vision or programming expertise. The software comes with a no-code interface, where users can simply train the system by showing examples of good and bad parts, and the software automatically learns how to classify and inspect them. This ease of use accelerates deployment and reduces the need for specialized training. Training with Examples: VisionPro Vidi uses a supervised learning approach, which involves the user providing labeled images of both good and defective parts. The software learns from these examples to develop a model that can then identify defects or anomalies in new images. This approach is particularly useful for applications where traditional vision techniques (such as edge detection or pattern matching) might struggle due to variability in the appearance of parts. Automatic Learning: Self-Learning Capabilities: VisionPro Vidi can automatically refine its models as it processes new images, improving its accuracy and robustness over time. This feature is ideal for environments where production changes frequently, or when new defect patterns need to be recognized without manually retraining the system. Powerful Image Processing: VisionPro Vidi includes advanced image processing tools that allow for powerful analysis of visual data. These tools can detect subtle variations in images that could indicate problems, ensuring high-quality inspections in complex production environments. Versatility: Multiple Inspection Tasks: VisionPro Vidi can handle a wide range of inspection tasks, including surface inspection, defect detection, part verification, sorting, and classification. This makes it applicable across various industries, such as automotive, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and packaging. Flexible Deployment: It can be used with a variety of cameras, including industrial cameras, to capture images in various environments. The software can be deployed on both local machines and in cloud-based setups for remote monitoring and updates. Integration with Cognex Vision Systems: VisionPro Vidi integrates seamlessly with other Cognex products, such as the In-Sight Vision Systems and DataMan Barcode Readers. This allows users to build more complete vision systems that combine traditional vision tools with deep learning capabilities. Cloud Connectivity and Remote Monitoring: VisionPro Vidi supports cloud connectivity, enabling remote monitoring, analysis, and troubleshooting of vision systems from anywhere. This is particularly useful in large-scale production facilities with multiple inspection points. Multi-Tool Capabilities: The software includes a variety of vision tools for edge detection, pattern matching, OCR (optical character recognition), and other traditional machine vision tasks. Users can combine these tools with deep learning capabilities for highly specialized tasks. Applications of Cognex VisionPro Vidi: Defect Detection: VisionPro Vidi is widely used for defect detection in applications where traditional vision methods would fail due to variability in the appearance of defects. For example, inspecting parts with scratches, cracks, or surface inconsistencies that might differ from one part to another. Sorting and Classification: It can classify parts based on their shape, color, texture, or other visual characteristics. For example, it can identify different types of products on a production line, ensuring proper sorting and handling. Packaging Inspection:
