Computer vision has become a most-prominent and a modern approach for accelerating smart manufacturing operations. It is playing a key role in every aspect of the manufacturing sector.
Computer Vision has become the most popular technology over the past decade, especially in the manufacturing industry. It is making a significant impact at every stage of the manufacturing process, from using computer vision in warehouses to modern robotics in R&D labs.
Further, computer vision-enabled manufacturing functions reduces production defects, improves product quality, increases operational flexibility, minimizes time and cost, and results higher productivity.
Autonomous driving
One of the most well-known applications of computer vision in the automotive sector is the self-driving vehicle. Ranging from self-driving non-commercial cars to heavy-duty logistics trucks, computer vision and AI-enabled self-driving systems are revolutionizing the automotive sector.
Accident prevention
Computer vision-enabled self-driving systems can also prevent accidents with their automated braking or collision avoidance systems. The computer vision-enabled cameras accurately detect pedestrians, vehicles, and other objects to automatically stop the car in case the driver fails to do so.
Assembly automation
Most of the mass-produced cars in the industry are made in automated manufacturing facilities. Computer vision has significantly improved the manufacturing sector in the past few years.
Driving behavior analysis
Computer vision-enabled cameras inside the car are used to analyze the behavior of the driver.
Quality Control
Another major application in the manufacturing side of automotive is quality control.
