SPONSORED WHITE PAPER
ADLINK
 
AI is able to mimic the human eye and brain, addressing scenarios that cannot be tackled with rule-based machine vision. AI-enabled machine vision can, for instance, detect and classify manufacturing defects at high levels of accuracy for better quality assurance in manufacturing, and identify and notify stakeholders of dangerous driving behavior to improve road safety for smart cities. Download the solution brief to learn how to kickass in AI.
