New IDS NXT software release themed "App your camera!"
The current software release 2.6 for our AI vision system IDS NXT focuses primarily on simplifying app creation. Starting a development project is often one of the biggest challenges in realising a project. With the help of the new Use Case Assistant in IDS lighthouse, you can configure a complete vision app under guidance in just a few steps, which you can then run directly on an IDS NXT camera. Another new feature is the Block-based Editor, which allows you to create your own programme sequences with AI image processing functions such as object recognition or classification without any programming knowledge.
Use Case Assistant
In the Use Case Assistant, you select the use case that suits your project. With queries and tips, the wizard guides you through the process of creating the Vision App project and creates the programme code, just like in an interview. In the process, it links existing training projects with the Vision App project or creates new training projects and data sets in IDS lighthouse if required.
Block-based Editor
With the modular blocks and the intuitive user interface, anyone can realise their own projects using AI-based image processing (such as object detection or classification) in the form of an individual Vision App without having to know the syntax of a specific programming language. In this case, you create the Vision App project yourself and use the predefined blocks of the code editor to build your Vision App graphically yourself, including processes such as loops and conditional statements. It's so easy!
You can watch how this works in the IDS Vision Channel. The session "Build AI vision apps without coding - XCITING NEW EASYNESS" is available as a recording - watch it now.
There are also other exciting features, such as a confusion matrix to assess the performance of your classification network in IDS lighthouse and the Multi-Camera Viewer in IDS NXT cockpit. You can find out more on our website.
Anyone who wants to use the possibilities of AI-Vision can do so most easily with our IDS NXT Experience Kit. It contains all the necessary components - from a camera to cables and lens to the software licence for IDS lighthouse. See for yourself how simple and powerful IDS NXT is. You can order the kit here or via your sales contact.
