Skills in the spotlight
Computer vision development services and their associated projects demand an extensive set of skills due to the compounded complexity of all the different parts required. We’re talking up-to-date knowledge of visual data management and analytics, software development for AI applications, and smart algorithms that power machine learning solutions, just to name a few.
Vention’s engineers and business experts nurture all of those skills across departments, and more, to design products that surpass expectations. Here’s how our multiple software development disciplines and technologies coalesce to enable expert computer vision consulting and development.
Machine learning and deep learning
Our engineers are skilled in training neural networks, optimizing model architectures, and implementing transfer learning, all of which are crucial for creating the computer vision algorithms that understand and interpret visual data. We tap decades of experience in machine learning and deep learning to build and fine-tune the complex models used for image recognition, object detection, and semantic segmentation.
Natural language processing (NLP)
Our proficiency in NLP enhances the interpretability of computer vision systems. We use NLP to extract insights from textual metadata associated with or contained in images or videos, improving search capabilities and content recommendations. Additionally, we develop smart chatbots and conversational interfaces that make computer vision applications more context-aware, informative, and user-friendly.
Image processing
We excel at a wide range of image processing techniques that form the backbone of computer vision. Our developers know how to create the algorithms that preprocess and clean raw image data, together with the image segmentation and object recognition that helps to break down complex scenes into meaningful, reliable components.
Mobile app development
Tapping into decades of expertise in mobile, our engineers craft intuitive iOS and Android applications that leverage the power of machine vision whether for image recognition tools or AR-enhanced apps. Our mobile app development teams know how to create cross-platform applications committed not only to optimal performance, but also seamless compatibility with various devices to reach broader audiences.
Cloud expertise
We design scalable cloud-based architectures that support real-time analysis and large-scale deployments for computer vision projects. Our team leverages cloud platforms, such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure to guarantee the reliability and accessibility of your computer vision applications, no matter how vast the datasets they generate.
Extended reality (XR)
Our AR/VR expertise allows us to create immersive, visually stunning applications; computer vision apps are no exception. Whether for training simulations, marketing experiences, or data visualization, we match our proficiency in AR/VR development with computer vision to develop solutions that deliver memorable experiences for your customers.
Industries overseen by computer vision
For some industries, like healthcare and security, computer vision technology is already fundamental. In others, it’s slowly making its way toward consistent adoption. Whatever the case, use cases for the tech are here, are real, and have been transforming how business leaders perceive opportunities.
Fintech
Computer vision plays a pivotal role in enhancing the security of fintech processes, with certain features already commonplace, such as biometrics-based authentication enabled by facial recognition. But more crucially, it automates the analysis of financial documents and security protocols through text recognition, digesting their core contents for humans to be aware of. On the business side, the same feature also allows for the analysis of market trends through visual data.
Retail
Computer vision transforms retail—both brick-and-mortar and ecommerce—by enabling tailored customer experiences. Cashierless systems, facial recognition, and foot traffic analysis streamline physical checkouts while automated inventory management, parcel tracking, and AR-powered virtual try-ons make online shopping experiences more efficient. The result? Improved customer engagement for both IRL and URL shoppers.
Manufacturing
Computer vision boosts manufacturing mostly by automating quality control and predictive maintenance. To do so, the smart algorithms are trained to understand the supply chain, and their processes, as much as possible to pinpoint inadequacies and detect defects using image analysis.
Healthcare
The healthcare industry thrives on computer vision particularly on medical imaging analysis, where visual interpretation and anomaly recognition are paramount for proper medical diagnoses. Further, machine vision enables patient monitoring through visual data, and even drug research. Computer vision development for healthcare is also unique in that companies undertaking it must be aware of compliance-related laws such as HIPAA.
Logistics
In logistics, computer vision streamlines processes like package labeling and tracking, inventory management, and route optimization. High-demand use cases include automated package sorting, last-mile delivery optimization, real-time tracking of shipments, and inventory control through visual data.
Security
The security sector relies heavily on computer vision for surveillance, anomaly detection, and threat analysis. It’s increasingly common for CCTV circuits to be integrated into computer vision solutions so it can provide high-level facial recognition (including for access control through multi-factor authentication protocols), real-time intrusion detection, license plate recognition for law enforcement, and predictive security analytics using visual data.
