It’s amazing to see what is possible these days using Image Processing and Computer Vision technologies. Yet, many organizations aren’t aware of what technology of today can do, or think that using Computer Vision requires too big of an investment. Let us show you our way of using Computer Vision, utilizing technologies readily available today!

Capabilities & applications

Computer Vision capabilities have massively increased in recent years. It was used first in factories to automate processes such as measuring the manufacturing quality in an automated way. Nowadays, Computer Vision is used in all kinds of fields. Not only in tech-savvy industries like Robotics and Industry, but also in other areas like Security (24/7 automated surveillance), Retail (customer demographic insights), Healthcare (supporting medical assessments), Agriculture (plan harvest capacity), and many more. It is more commonly used than you may think! And that is because it is more accessible than ever.

Computer vision in 4 steps!

At Mediaan, we have many years of experience with these AI vision systems, and we have successfully implemented dozens of Computer Vision projects. We have a proven Way of Working that consists of 4 simple steps in our continuous “Build > Run > Improve” cycle:

1. Structure your visual data

Upload and annotate your images, videos, or streams. You tell the system exactly what you see on the screen by annotating and labelling it so that it can learn from you.

2. Train your AI

Create your smart algorithm based on the annotated data you provided it with. You can monitor the performance and accuracy during the training, up to the point where it is useful to your use cases. Our Data Scientists have a track record of always figuring out the technical details for you, required to get satisfying results.

The results at this point already provide you with a Proof of Value. This PoV shows you the capabilities and benefits of your specific use case in your own organization. It’s not a “Proof of Concept”, as we already know – and have proven many times – that the concepts work. These first 2 steps are about your specific business domain and to develop the business case in your organization.

3. Use your AI

Deploy and run your newly trained AI model and apply it in practice, supporting your day-to-day business operations. You start to leverage its benefits from day one!

4. Improve the performance

Keep fine-tuning your AI model with increasing data sets from changing operational data and real-life scenarios.

That’s it! Think about some of the manual labor activities in your organization that use (product) images, videos, or live streams. Or, think about the possibilities when adding cameras to some of the physical areas and processes in your business. Let us impress you with some Computer Vision solutions!

Quick to test

Did you know that most of our Proof of Values are delivered within just a month? So, why not give it a try and get in touch with our experts at Mediaan? Then we will brainstorm and collaborate with you to improve your business using technology.
