Our Services
Model Training & TensorRT Optimisation
Training on own GPU hardware, optimisation for edge deployment via TensorRT (INT8/FP16 quantisation). Typical results: 3–5× faster inference compared to non-optimised models.
Camera System Development
Selection and integration of CMOS cameras for industrial and scientific applications. Focus on Sony IMX sensors, resolutions from 4 megapixels, USB3 and GigE Vision.
Custom Image Processing Algorithms
Tailored solutions: debayering, noise reduction, multiscale fusion for HDR, projection algorithms. No licence overhead, no vendor lock-in.
Data Annotation & Model Quality
Structured labelling with LabelStudio, training data quality assurance, class balancing. Typical data requirement: 500–5,000 annotated images depending on complexity.
Embedded AI & System Integration
Integration on NVIDIA Jetson Orin as DIN rail module (OrinHS). Industrial I/O, OTA updates, SSH remote access – ready to operate from delivery.
Technologies & Sensors
AI Stack:
| Layer | Technologies |
|---|---|
| Annotation | LabelStudio |
| Training | YOLOv8, PyTorch, TensorFlow |
| Optimisation | TensorRT (INT8/FP16), CUDA C/C++ |
| Deployment | NVIDIA Jetson Orin (JetPack, DeepStream) |
| Inference | 30–60 FPS, < 10 ms latency |
Sensor Types:
- Monochrome (higher sensitivity, NIR option)
- One-shot colour (OSC) with Sony IMX sensors
- Near infrared (NIR) for special spectral ranges
Why Custom Algorithms Instead of Standard Software?
OpenCV and Halcon cover many cases – but edge deployment on embedded hardware follows different rules:
- Latency: Custom algorithms optimised for CUDA architecture and TensorRT
- No licences: Full control over the code, no licence overhead on each device
- Quality: Fine-tuning to sensor properties and use case
- Long-term: No dependency on software vendors over 10+ year product lifetimes
