Image recognition improves processes

Image recognition can add a lot of value to your business processes, from quality control to automating human perception.

Getting started with image recognition

Image recognition can add a lot of value to your business processes, from quality control to automating human perception. But how do you know if it works for your situation, without investing heavily upfront?

That’s why Pegamento developed the Vision Engine.
A modular software platform that allows us to quickly set up a working solution and prove its feasibility, without being stuck with customization of thousands of hours.

What is the Vision Engine?

The Vision Engine is a flexible building block for image recognition applications. Instead of developing everything from scratch, we use standardized and reusable modules for:

This allows us to realize a working prototype or MVP in a short time that really shows what is possible. Read more about our Computer Vision approach here.

World record with image recognition

Fish on Wheels: from innovation to Guinness World Record

Our love for image recognition goes beyond industrial applications. In 2025, Pegamento set an official Guinness World Record with Fish on Wheels, a fish in a self-driving vehicle driven by image recognition.

During the broadcast of Lo Show dei Record in Italy, with the help of our software, ‘Blub’ covered 12.28 meters in one minute, setting Pegamento the world record for the “longest distance covered by a fish in a self-driving land-based vehicle.”

This project, once started as an internal experiment, proves that image recognition is not only powerful, but can also be applied surprisingly creatively.

What can you do with it?

Image recognition is never an end in itself, it is a means to make processes smarter. Some examples of successful Vision Engine projects:

  • Quality control in bakery
    For Amstelveld Bakery, Vision Engine detects abnormal buns and automatically controls the reject belt.

  • Bridge safety at Rijkswaterstaat
    With AI and anomaly detection, we support operators in opening bridges safely. The Vision Engine recognizes objects on the bridge deck and warns immediately.

  • Length measurement in healthcare
    For Ferring Pharmaceuticals, we developed an app that uses a simple video to automatically calculate a person’s height for correct dosing of growth hormone.

  • Label recognition in printing
    For customers with personalized packaging, Vision Engine recognizes the right label at high speed with classic feature matching and links it to the order information.

Ready to use image recognition smartly?

Whether you want to start with a small Proof of Concept or are looking for a scalable solution for your industry: with the Vision Engine, Pegamento proves time and again that image recognition works – fast, smart and reliable.
