Differentiation & classification of objects

Object Detection with Deep Learning

Deep-learning-based object detection makes it possible to localize and classify objects in an image. The objects are enclosed by a bounding box, and their position in the image is determined precisely. Touching or partially overlapping objects are separated correctly, which also makes it possible to count the objects.

This technology is particularly useful for applications in which different objects must be detected and classified simultaneously in an image, such as in production or logistics.

BOUNDING BOXES

How does deep-learning-based object detection work?

Bounding Boxes

The deep learning algorithm creates a bounding box for each detected object that surrounds the object.
These boxes define the position and size of the objects in the image.
In addition, a predicted class is assigned to each object, for example “coffee,” “milk,” or “defect.”

Optimized Object Orientation

In HALCON and MERLIC, the bounding boxes can also be adapted to the orientation of the object.
This leads to more precise detection, as the boxes are optimally adapted to the shape of the object.

Data Requirements

To train a model, labeled data in the form of bounding box coordinates must be provided.
This enables the deep learning model to detect different object instances and classify them with high accuracy.

Shows the bounding boxes used for precise localization and classification of objects in an image based on a deep learning model. The technology enables the detection and classification of multiple objects, even in cases of overlap.

PRECISION & ADAPTABILITY

Advantages

Automatic Object Detection: Objects are localized accurately, even if they overlap or are partially occluded.

Precise Classification: Detection is performed with high accuracy, as the class and position of the objects are determined.

Adaptable Orientation: The possibility of adapting the bounding boxes to the orientation of the objects further improves detection accuracy.

Low Effort: The training effort is minimized through automatic feature learning and fewer manual interventions.

REAL-WORLD USe CASES

Application Examples

Coffee Packages In The Supermarket

In the food industry, coffee packages or other product packaging can be detected and counted, even if they overlap or are placed close together.

Deep learning technology ensures that each package is localized and classified correctly.

Packaging Inspection In Logistics

Deep-learning-based object detection can also be used in logistics to detect and count different food packages or product packaging.
This is an essential step for automated inspections and quality control.
