On November 16, 2017, the 19th China Hi-Tech Fair (CHTF) grandly opened at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. Over 3,000 companies from more than 30 countries and regions showcased their latest innovations. Vizum made a stunning appearance with its 3D Machine Eye and a suite of high-impact solutions across multiple fields, delivering a feast of intelligent technology to attendees and ushering in a new era of machine intelligence for the industry.

3D Machine Eye Transforms Machine Intelligence and Dominates the 3D Vision Field

Known as “China’s No. 1 Technology Show,” CHTF attracts a large number of industry-leading products and technologies each year. This year’s exhibition saw numerous new releases in the field of vision systems, though most remained within the realm of 2D or structured light solutions. Vizum stood out as one of the brightest stars of the event with its groundbreaking 3D Machine Eye.

As a pioneer in stereo intelligent vision, Vizum refuses to follow the conventional path and instead insists on innovation, independently developing visible-light binocular stereo vision technologies and products.

Compared to 2D and structured light vision solutions, Vizum’s independently developed “Natural Learning®” stereo intelligent vision technology—and the visible-light binocular stereo vision product based on it, the 3D Machine Eye—has the following advantages:

1. Motion Object Detection: Vizum’s binocular products can perform real-time high-precision stereo detection, whereas structured light is largely unsuitable for moving objects.
2. Multi-object Detection: Vizum’s binocular system can simultaneously recognize, select, and detect hundreds of different objects in real time, while structured light systems are generally limited to single-object detection with no cognitive capability.
3. High-speed, High-precision Image Capture and Analysis: Vizum’s binocular vision supports up to 20-megapixel resolution with precision up to 0.2 mm. With enhanced CPU processing power and increased parallelism, image acquisition frame rates can reach 60 frames per second for high-precision stereo imaging (modeling).
4. Stereo Cognition Capability: The system offers deep cognitive analysis of surface features, color, shape, and texture with cognitive resolution as precise as 0.1 mm.
5. Direct Measurement of Static Objects: The measurement accuracy of Vizum’s binocular products approaches that of TOF (Time-of-Flight) laser systems.
6. Long-distance Detection: Similar to human vision, Vizum’s system can detect distant objects, whereas structured light and TOF systems are typically limited to distances under 10 meters.
7. Environmental Adaptability: Binocular vision requires little to no supplemental lighting and is suitable for typical indoor and outdoor environments. In contrast, structured light depends on stable lighting conditions, and TOF lasers require environments with high air quality.
8. On-site Integration Advantage: Vizum’s binocular products support online auto-calibration, modular design, user-friendly plug-and-play camera operation, and rapid deployment for practical use.

High-impact Solutions Across Multiple Fields Transform Industry Landscape and Usher in a New Wave of Change

At the CHTF, Vizum demonstrated the applications of its industrial 3D Machine Eye and logistics 3D Machine Eye in the fields of new intelligent manufacturing and logistics.

The industrial 3D Machine Eye can perform precise localization of moving objects, multi-object scenes, and static items. It transmits spatial 3D coordinates in real time via Gigabit Ethernet to robotic arm systems, which then respond with corresponding operations. This system can be widely applied in electronics manufacturing, automotive production automation, pharmaceutical machinery, food and packaging machinery, printing lines, welding, and cutting operations.

The logistics 3D Machine Eye enables positioning of object distance and direction, as well as measurement of the dimensions, volume, and area of both dynamic and static items. It is suitable for use in industrial logistics production lines, warehouse and logistics centers, express delivery logistics, port container logistics, logistics parks, security inspection logistics, and tobacco logistics scenarios.

The impressive performance of the 3D Machine Eye at CHTF attracted widespread attention, with many visitors stopping by to learn more and seek consultation.

As the era of machine intelligence accelerates, intelligent technologies are becoming a core battleground for global competition among countries and enterprises. Vizum will continue to leverage its role and value as an innovator in stereo intelligent vision, driving the commercialization of its 3D Machine Eye, accelerating the deployment of stereo vision technology across industries, contributing to the major national strategy of “Made in China 2025,” and helping businesses lead the global race in the new era.
