Vision Systems for Deep Learning
Deep learning is rapidly spreading across computer vision applications. The benefits of artificial neural networks (ANNs) are twofold. ANNs have the potential to improve the accuracy and robustness for applications in factory automation, robotics or retail. At the same time, ANNs have the capability to solve image-based application problems that could not be solved in the past, such as pathology detection in microscopy or complex pattern classification in surface detection.
