Update for IDS NXT Experience Kit: user-friendliness and AI transparency
All-in-one embedded vision platform with new tools and functions
With the IDS NXT Experience Kit embedded vision platform, customers receive all the necessary, coordinated tools and workflows to realise their own AI vision applications without prior knowledge and to run them directly on the IDS NXT industrial cameras. The next free software update for the AI package will be released in October. In addition to the topic of user-friendliness, the focus is also on making artificial intelligence clear and comprehensible for the user.
An all-in-one system such as IDS NXT Experience Kit, which has integrated computing power and artificial intelligence thanks to the "deep ocean core" developed by IDS, is ideally suited for entry into AI Vision. It requires no prior knowledge of deep learning or camera programming. The current software update makes setting up, deploying and controlling the intelligent cameras in the IDS NXT cockpit even easier. For this purpose, among other things, an ROI editor is integrated with which users can freely draw the image areas to be evaluated and configure, save and reuse them as custom grids with many parameters.
In addition, the new tools Attention Maps and Confusion Matrix illustrate how the AI works in the cameras and what decisions it makes. This helps to clarify the process and enables the user to evaluate the quality of a trained neural network and to improve it through targeted retraining. Data security also plays an important role in the industrial use of artificial intelligence. As of the current update, communication between IDS NXT cameras and system components can therefore be encrypted via HTTPS.
