EURESYS
EasyDeepLearning, the CNN library
The new EasyDeepLearning library is a Convolutional Neural Network-based classification library which learns by example. It has been tailored, parametrized and optimized for analyzing images, particularly for machine vision applications. It learns how to distinguish defects or classify parts by being shown many images of the parts to be inspected. It includes functions for dataset creation, classifier training and image classification. Compatible with CPU and GPU processing it is able to detect defective products or sort products into various classes. Read more ›
FUJINON Upgrades Popular Lens Series with “Anti-shock and Vibration” DesignNews item with image on the left
Fujifilm announces the update of its popular DF/HF-HA-1B series lenses to ruggedized versions equipped with the unique Fujinon “Anti-shock and Vibration” technology. Demand for quality optics in ruggedized versions continues to increase and the designated DF/HF-HA-1S is designed to meet that demand.
The Fujinon HF-HA-1B series lenses are already in wide use across a variety of manufacturing environments, from automotive to electronics to pharmaceutical. These applications often have strict space constraints, making the external diameter of only 29.8 mm an attractive feature. Read more ›
