Capabilities and Areas of Expertise
Machine Vision
A broad range of expertise, and
the interdisciplinary composition of our project teams, provide
a synergistic advantage to engineering and development at
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI).
Machine Vision
Computer vision engineers have contributed to a wide range of projects that incorporate alternate sensors and computer technologies, including:
- Data signals integrated from different sensors using sensor fusion
- Speed monitors using radar and acoustic sensors
- Distributed computing system for modeling and visualization
- Enhanced robot control using measured tool-work piece reaction forces
- Manufacturing process improvement and new process development
Custom Systems
SwRI staff members have supported technology assessments in many areas. Examples are listed below::
- Railway crossing monitoring
- High-voltage power distribution line inspection
- Sensor technology for industrial process control
- Materials for new manufacturing processes
- System or vehicle-animal collision warning
