Basler developed pylon AI software with deep learning algorithms, enabling advanced image analysis such as object detection or segmentation. Unique to computer vision software, the new performance benchmarking feature allows users to determine the most powerful processing hardware for their application.

Best of all, this AI software is accessible to users without any programming knowledge, just like the existing Basler pylon software package.

• Efficiency; Use the AI software to maximize the performance of your AI model across a range of processors and AI chips.
• Optimality for vision applications; Optimize your AI model for your processing hardware and enhance the AI vTool’s specific algorithm.
• Simplicity; Create image analysis functions with drag-and-drop ease and deploy them to target applications using proven pylon APIs, with no programming required.
• Flexibility; Train AI model in PyTorch, TensorFlow, or NVIDIA TAO – Basler’s AI software is compatible with a wide range of AI frameworks thanks to ONNX AI model format.

In contrast to traditional algorithms, the algorithms of modern AI systems are constantly learning. This enables new and complex use cases. At the same time, the probability of errors decreases and the readout speed increases, making your application faster and more precise.

Benefit from this AI software in:

• Object Detection; locate and count different and complex objects in the image
• Classification; classify and sistematicaly group objects into categories
• AI-based OCR; recognise text intelligently under difficult and changing readout conditions
• Semantic Segmentation; identify pixel clusters to distinguish object classes and background regions in the image with pixel accuracy
• Instance Segmentation; predict pixel-accurate boundaries of each individual object in the image

Basler’s goal was to simplify AI for industrial image processing. That’s why pylon AI is integrated into their pylon Software Suite—a versatile and adaptable platform that provides complete control over all functionalities, from camera configuration to image analysis.

This AI software includes the pylon AI Platform, a web application that optimizes AI models using image data, and the pylon AI vTools. These plug-ins run AI models within the pylon Software Suite, efficiently integrating them into the entire image processing pipeline.
