What is image recognition?

Image recognition is a pattern recognition technology that extracts features from images and identifies objects. Specifically, it is the use of a computer to identify the state of an object reflected in an image for authentication or inspection: in addition to reading 2D codes, other types of image recognition include face recognition to identify people by their faces, and optical character recognition (OCR) to identify numbers and letters. Biometric identification (biometrics) also uses image recognition in a technical sense in many cases.

Low-Cost and Flexible System Configuration

Equipped with the VisAI shared application, it supports a variety of platforms and device configurations to suit different applications. We also provide assistance in optimizing installation and setup according to inspection requirements and environmental conditions.

Supports Image Inspection (Rule-Based / Deep Learning), Barcode Reading, and OCR

The system comes with multiple inspection methods as standard features, allowing it to meet a wide range of customer needs. In addition to traditional rule-based inspections, it also supports AI-based comparison using deep learning. Barcode reading and OCR can be performed simultaneously.

What VisAI Can Do

Shape Inspection of Products and Parts

Determines whether parts are correctly attached or assembled, and identifies acceptable or defective products or components.

Quantity Inspection

Enables fast and accurate counting of large quantities of products or materials. Counting by color or shape is also supported.

Sequence Inspection (Shape/Color Detection)

Determines whether the required products are arranged correctly based on shape or color—for example, in assortment or packaging checks.

Position (Coordinate) Detection

Detects the position of a target and outputs its coordinates. Enables semi-automated setup of position correction, such as for printed circuit boards.

Barcode Reading (Bulk Reading Supported)

Reads and verifies multiple barcodes printed, labeled, or engraved on products or parts in one operation.

OCR (Optical Character Recognition, Bulk Reading Supported)

Can read multiple lines of text simultaneously. Quickly and automatically extracts only the necessary text from designated areas.

Combined Image / OCR / Barcode Inspection

Enables comprehensive inspection by combining OCR, barcode reading, and pattern matching.

Communication with External Devices (Alert Notification)

Can send scanned data or inspection results to upper-level systems, or issue alerts in response to detected changes.
