The Cognex ViDi Red Analyze Tool – Supervised Mode is used to segment specific regions such as defects or other areas of interest. To train the Red Analyze tool, all you need to provide are images of good objects. Be it scratches on a decorated surface, incomplete or improper assemblies or even weaving problems in textiles the Red Analyze tool can identify all of these and many more problems simply by learning the normal appearance of an object including its significant but tolerable variations. The Cognex ViDi Red Analyze Tool – Unsupervised Mode is used to detect anomalies and aesthetic defects. To train the Blue Read tool, all you need to provide are images where the targeted characters are marked. From cleanly printed characters to strongly deformed characters on very noisy backgrounds, the Blue Read tool can identify and read characters by learning from annotated images. The Cognex ViDi Blue Read Tool is used to perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) within an image.

To train the Blue Locate tool, all you need to provide are images where the targeted features are marked. From small features on noisy backgrounds to complex objects in bulk the Blue Locate tool can localize and identify complex features and objects by learning from annotated images. The Cognex ViDi Blue Locate Tool is used to find and localize single or multiple features within an image. More specifically, each tool has a different focus analyzing either single points, individual regions or complete images:

While the tools share a common engine, they differ in what they are looking for in images. The Cognex ViDi tools are a collection of machine vision tools which tackle different hard to program challenges through the use of deep learning.
