Computer vision prototyping · Aachen, Germany

Computer vision prototypes, tested before production integration.

We select the camera and lighting, prepare the data, develop and evaluate the model, and benchmark it on suitable edge hardware.

01 / Services

Imaging, models and edge deployment.

Each project is scoped around one visual task and a defined test setup.

01

Imaging design

We select and test the camera, lens, sensor position and lighting for the feature that must be visible.

Deliverable
Camera and lighting specification
02

Model development and analysis

We prepare the data, train or adapt a suitable model, and evaluate missed and incorrect results.

Deliverable
Evaluated model and data workflow
03

Edge deployment

We run and benchmark the prototype on NVIDIA Jetson, an industrial PC or the customer’s network when appropriate.

Deliverable
Benchmarked edge prototype

Edge processing

The prototype can run near the camera.

When local processing is appropriate, we benchmark runtime and latency on the selected device and prepare the agreed interface.

  2. Jetson or industrial PC
  3. API or prototype I/O

02 / Applications

Applications we can develop and test.

Feasibility depends on whether the relevant feature can be captured consistently and tested with representative data.

01Industrial vision

Inspection and assembly checks

Test whether visible defects, missing parts, incorrect orientation or print differences can be detected under defined conditions.

02Industrial and sports vision

Object and motion tracking

Track defined objects, movements or events and retain links to the corresponding video frames.

Example output
Counts, events and linked footage

Illustrative frame-review and edge-compute workspace.

03Visual data analytics

Image and video analysis

Extract measurements from images, video and model outputs, then present them in a review workflow.

Example output
Measurements and review interface

Medical R&D prototypes are engineering tools, not certified medical devices. Vision prototypes are not safety-rated control systems.

03 / Bachelor’s project

RallyTrace tracks a tennis ball and links each result to the source video.

Jeremias developed the video-processing, tracking and review workflow. The project uses a lightweight TrackNet model, TensorRT acceleration and a shared frame timeline.

Tracking
Small, fast-object tracking
Runtime
TensorRT-accelerated inference

Engineering details

Adaptive search and tight crops help recover the ball in difficult frames. A lightweight TrackNet model runs with TensorRT, and outputs remain linked to the source-frame timeline.

04 / Process

A prototype project has three stages.

Before development starts, we agree the task, test conditions, deliverables and responsibility boundary.

  1. 01

    Scope the test

    Define the visual decision, representative data, required output and relevant error cases.

  2. 02

    Build the prototype

    Set up the imaging, data pipeline, model, analysis and selected edge device.

  3. 03

    Test and hand over

    Report the results and limitations, then provide the deliverables agreed in the project scope.

Prototype and technical handover

A working prototype for the agreed conditions, imaging and compute specification, test results, and the agreed software and documentation.

Industrialization partner

Production integration

Final housing and mounting, plant electrical work, safety and conformity responsibilities, and permanent commissioning.
