Technology for Automated Solutions - Sensors and Software
One Point of Contact
Solution Provider
We design, manufacture, and deliver all the components for your automated solution; including the sensor, software, mounting hardware, installation labor, and support.
Sensors
Our non-contact sensors use a high-resolution camera and various laser colors to achieve reliable measurement on bare and painted metal, chrome, translucent materials, carbon fiber, and other materials at full production speed. With its IP67 rating (dust-tight, immune to temporary water immersion), the rugged sensor housing offers protection against the adverse conditions of an industrial production line, such as weld splatter, dirt, oil, etc. All sensors are calibrated and rectified at Perceptron’s manufacturing facility and ship ready to measure.
New to the sensing family is the AccuSite™ Optical Tracking option for robotic measurement. AccuSite turns the robot into a simple mover and eliminates all temperature and mechanical drift influence from the measurement results.
Available on one or multiple robots, AccuSite is the ideal option when you need CMM level accuracy on the plant floor.
Industry Leading Software
Vector software is the backbone of Perceptron’s automated measurement solutions. Common to AutoGauge, AutoGuide, and AutoFit, Vector provides consistent measurement techniques and a complete suite of user-centric software solutions across all applications. Vector takes the sensor scan data, runs a pre-determined algorithm, and displays the results to the operator within seconds. Multiple notification methods are available to alert the operator if a measurement falls outside the set limits. All measurement results are also stored in a database for future data analysis.
The following software add-ons are also available to reduce setup time or perform advanced data analysis.
Automated Path Generation
Our Automated Path Generation (APG) module is a virtual setup of your measurement system that performs the robot programming, collision avoidance, and teaches the measurement plan for you.
Ideal for off-line setup and on-site changes. You define the rules, constraints, goals, measurement plan, and APG will do the rest.

neural network trained to change the angle of any video / Sudo Null IT News DRoman0v

In films or YouTube videos, we watch what is happening from one point, we are not able to move around the stage or shift the angle of view. But the situation seems to be changing. For example, researchers from Virginia Tech and Facebook have developed a new video processing algorithm. Thanks to it, you can arbitrarily change the viewing angle of a ready-made video stream.
What is noteworthy is that the algorithm uses frames that were obtained when shooting with one camera, combining several video streams from different cameras is not required.
The new algorithm is based on the NeRF (Neural Radiance Fields for Unconstrained) neural network. This network, which appeared last year, is able to turn photos into three-dimensional animation. However, to achieve the effect of movement in the video, the project had to be significantly improved.
What exactly can NeRF do?
NeRF is trained on a large number of images of the same object from different angles. Initially, she was taught to recreate three-dimensional pictures of famous architectural landmarks and other objects. Not all images folded and read perfectly, so it was necessary to expand the initial capabilities.
By itself, the neural network is able to create a 3D image at different angles from many images.
It can also isolate 2D models. These images are converted from volumetric to planar by pixel-by-pixel transfer. How exactly?
When the desired angle of view is selected, the algorithm begins to pass rays through the 3D scene and create a 2D image pixel by pixel, using the density and color data of each pixel along the entire path of the ray. To get the whole frame, the process is started several times until the required number of pixels is collected from the rays calculated from different directions. This makes it possible to generate 2D images from any angle. In general, an interesting and original approach to solving such a non-trivial problem.
Video stream with effect
To achieve a similar effect for a video stream, similar steps are required. But there is an important nuance - in the video there is only one angle for each individual frame. To cope with the task, the researchers decided to train two different models in parallel. As a result, we got 2 algorithms at once: for the static and dynamic parts of the scene.
As for the static model, it is arranged according to the same principle as NeRF. There is only one difference - all moving objects were immediately removed from the frame.
With a dynamic model, everything is much more interesting. There was not enough staff to process it. Then the neural network was taught to predict frames for a volume stream. More precisely frames to each specific time t. These moments are conventionally called t-1 and t+1. The essence of a 3D flow is reduced to an optical flow, only in this case it is built for volumetric objects.
The scientists also managed to get rid of interference and ensure frame consistency. As a result, the new neural network recreates a fairly slender video sequence from different angles. The video provided by the developers shows an effect similar to what many of us remember from The Matrix. In cinema, it is called Bullet time, when the viewer is immersed inside the image.
