Applying image recognition in a short timeframe
Are there business processes where image recognition can add value in your company? It is often challenging to answer 'yes' to this, as feasibility can often only be demonstrated after much of the development has been done. This is why Pegamento has set up the Vision Engine. We will walk you through:

What is de Vision Engine?
Lightning-fast custom image recognition software
When it comes to image recognition software, the current market is divided into two segments. Specialised applications are developed for specific niches, and there is the possibility of developing customised applications. At Pegamento, we've seen that the specialist applications are often not easy to apply to non-standard cases, and that customisation carries risk, as a significant investment is required to demonstrate feasibility. Because we develop a lot of customised image recognition software ourselves, we have standardised and fully modularised the most common building blocks in the Vision Engine. Thus, we are able to set up and validate most of a customised application in a short period of time.
A set of standard building blocks
What types of things are already included in the Vision Engine? We distinguish between input, detection & identification, and output modules.
Input modules
As the name suggests, input modules ensure that images can enter the Vision Engine. This could be via a USB or network camera, via an API or web page, or via a folder of videos or photos.
Detection and identification modules
These modules form the core of the software and specifically handle image recognition. They enable images or video frames to be analysed using Artificial Intelligence. But they are also capable of more traditional image recognition. With these modules, we can detect, identify, track, and count things.
Output modules
An application is of little use if the results cannot go anywhere. In the output module, it is possible to write the results to a database, feed them back via an API, or display them on a website or app.
Examples of applications of the Vision Engine
We fully understand that image recognition is a means and never the end in itself. Therefore, we would like to take you through some examples where we have implemented the modules in the Vision Engine:
The advantages of the Vision Engine
Quickly demonstrate feasibility
We can quickly demonstrate feasibility in a Proof of Concept, because often no development time goes into setting up peripheral issues. Therefore, we see quickly enough whether your application is feasible and what we can expect in terms of accuracy.
Shorter development cycle
Often, we can realise most of an application using standard components that we then only need to configure. As a result, we quickly have the basis of the software in place and we produce a Proof of Concept or Minimum Viable Product in a short period of time.
Higher software quality
Because we use Vision Engine modules frequently, all customers benefit from the ongoing developments we do. This also enables each component to be tested more extensively in multiple situations.
A few client cases
Want to apply the Vision Engine?
The Vision Engine combines the advantages of a standard product with the flexibility of customisation. But to estimate the benefits for a specific case, we always need knowledge of our customers' field of expertise. We are therefore happy to take the time to exchange views on the added value of applications. Contact us for an appointment.
