Our answer: Why should you have to choose?
Traditional methods are particularly effective when features can be clearly defined:
- Distances and angles
- Positions and geometries
- Codes and characters
- Defined contours
- Differences in brightness or contrast
Deep learning offers advantages when defect patterns vary significantly or are difficult to describe using fixed rules – for example, on complex surfaces or when detecting cosmetic defects.
OCvis combines both approaches within a single inspection process.
This allows the most technically suitable method to be used for each individual inspection step.
The quality of an inspection solution is not determined by using as much AI as possible, but by choosing the right combination.
