SICK presents Visionary AI-Assist, an AI-based sensor solution for outdoor collision avoidance and monitoring of the surroundings, as well as the detection of people.
Key takeaways:
· The sensor solution combines 2D and 3D image processing to reliably detect people and objects to determine their distance from the sensor. The integrated AI ensures reliable recognition of people even in difficult conditions and prevents false alarms.
· The Visionary AI-Assist sensor solution consists of the Visionary-B Two 3D stereo camera and the AI-Assist software. The camera is used for distance measurement, object detection, and environmental perception in indoor and outdoor areas.
· The AI-Assist software uses artificial intelligence to classify people. This enables the current hazards within the working space of a mobile machine to be assessed and selective warnings to be issued.
· Visionary AI-Assist combines data acquisition, processing, and output in a single device. The device does not require additional sensor hardware, a separate controller, or integration into the cloud. Using stereoscopy, Visionary AI-Assist captures two-dimensional images from which three-dimensional point clouds are then generated.
· Visionary AI-Assist was specially developed for mobile machines and meets all essential requirements on outdoor applications: power supply of 10 to 57 V DC, operating temperatures from –40 °C to +55 °C as well IP67, IP69 and IPx9K enclosure rating.
