Project Gallery 1
Camrix has experience with many types of projects including: OCR, defect
detection, defect analysis, embedded systems, capital equipment, food
analysis, livestock identification, and many more...
Below are some of the projects that we have done.
License Plate Locator
Purpose: To locate and save license plates for
all cars traveling through a toll station. This application needed
to run 24/7 365 days a year.
Exciting Technology: Created a custom image processing
algorithm to locate license plates; even on white vehicles.
Related Industries: Automobile, Auto, Toll booth,
Car, Highway, Interstate, State
Fish Tracker
Purpose: To record the passage of fish through
a fish dam for later species identification.
Exciting Technology: Created a custom algorithm
to detect motion (similar to current security systems) that dynamically
adjusts for turbidity and changing lighting conditions.
Related Industries: Fish, Wildlife, State
Box Identification and
Sorting
Purpose: Designed for major food processing and
distribution plant to sort boxes of potatoes and potato products.
Sorted simultaneously on three lines using three separate cameras
. The application needed to run 24/7 365 days a year.
Exciting Technology: After initial installation
and configuration, system has run over three years with no need
for maintenance or adjustment and has sorted millions of pounds
of potatoes.
Related Industries: Potato, Packaging, Sorting,
Boxes
Card Identifier
Purpose: To identify cards via a machine and remove
any human interaction. Used in Las Vegas to allow blackjack dealers
to know when to hit/stand.
Exciting Technology: Created using PC-104 Plus
embedded computer modules and lipstick cameras. Can train multiple
decks.
Related Industries: Gambling, Casino, Cards
Catalytic Substrate Inspection
Systems
Purpose: To measure gas and diesel catalytic substrates.
Measurements include: percentage plugged, contour validation, height
validation, end cuts (perpendicularity), face gouges/cracks/chips,
side gouges/cracks/chips, print verification, and cell wall thickness
Exciting Technology: Helped to create suite of
software modules to perform listed inspections. Final system is
combination of multiple PC's, PLC, printer, conveyors, optical triggers,
diverter, and more.
Related Industries: Automobiles, Cars, Catalytic
Converters, Manufacturing
Crate Inspection System
Purpose: To inspect soda crates for cracks and
defects and remove them before employees could injure themselves
by picking up a defective crate.
Exciting Technology: Used mirrors to see both
sides of a crate at the same time and to make measurements on three
sides of the crate simultaneously using a single camera.
Related Industries: Cola, Crates, Food Processing
Metal Data Matrix Reader
Purpose: To read data matrix codes that were made
out of metal and placed on pipes for the oil industry.
Exciting Technology: Able to read data matrix
codes that were made out of metal and had challenging reflective
lighting issues.
Related Industries: Oil, Pipe
Fiber Optic
Alignment
Purpose: To provide feedback to a robot that was
placing fiber optic bundles into a cap end. This allowed the robot
to operate faster and prevent the breaking of the fiber strands.
Exciting Technology: Create a vision .dll that
interacted with LabView. All results were returned to the LabView
application.
Related Industries: Fiber Optics, Robot
Multiple
Camera Simultaneous Image Capture
Purpose: Created a system to simultaneously capture
pictures from five black and white cameras and a color camera. The
cameras were aligned to take pictures of peoples faces and reconstruct
them in 3D.
Exciting Technology: All cameras are triggered
within nanoseconds of each other. Created a custom PNG algorithm
to handle 16 bits/plane color data (48 bits/byte).
