Spotlight on object detection with IDS NXT ocean
This video introduces practical object detection using the IDS NXT ocean ecosystem and shows how to build, train, evaluate, and deploy a custom AI vision model on IDS NXT cameras. You will learn how to create high‑quality training data, avoid common annotation mistakes, and interpret key object‑detection metrics such as IoU (Intersection over Union), precision, recall and camera map.
Through a step‑by‑step walkthrough, the video explains how IDS NXT lighthouse streamlines AI model creation without requiring programming knowledge or specialised hardware. It demonstrates real‑world detection of plastic gears, including overlapping, partially obscured, and low‑contrast objects. Viewers will also see how to iteratively refine and expand their model to improve accuracy and adapt it to new requirements.
