Building a Vision System for a Next-Gen Robot? Here’s What You Must Know

Suresh Madhu
Although a camera might seem to be just one part of a robot, its output has an effect on a much longer engineering chain. The lens and sensor that are selected determine what enters the image signal processor. The image produced then passes on to the perception system, sensor fusion,......

Common Challenges in Rear-View Vision Systems – and How STURDeCAM12 Solves Them

Suresh Madhu
Rear-view cameras operate in conditions that can change within seconds. Direct sunlight may fall on one part of the scene. At the same time, another remains shaded, and the camera may still need to keep approaching vehicles, pedestrians, or loading docks visible during reversing and docking. Therefore, a rear-view camera......

What is Vehicle Make and Model Recognition (MMR)? A Guide to AI-Based Vehicle Recognition

Dilip Kumar
Modern roads generate more vehicle data than ever before. Traffic management systems, security checkpoints, parking facilities, tolling infrastructure, and law enforcement agencies all depend on fast, accurate vehicle identification. While Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) has become critical for vehicle identification, a license plate alone doesn’t always tell the complete......

How Multi-Sensor Fusion of Camera, LiDAR, and IMU Drives Reliable AMR Operation

Suresh Madhu
AMR solutions can automate up to 80% of non-conveyed material movement and reduce inventory needs by up to 30%. Gains like that depend on perception that stays reliable during real material handling. However, reliable AMR operation depends on what the robot can confirm while the material is already moving. Route......

Beyond the Number Plate: Validating Transactions in Free-Flow Tolling

Dilip Kumar
In the first blog of this three-part series, you saw why camera design matters in ORT and MLFF. You also found out how the field of view, pixel density, shutter choice, exposure control, synchronization, and more determine whether a vehicle image remains readable when traffic passes at highway speed. A......

How Camera Selection Impacts the Inspection & Monitoring Accuracy of Industrial Drones

Ram Prasad
Industrial drones now handle inspection, monitoring, and audit tasks across plants, refineries, energy assets, yards, mining sites, construction zones, and utility corridors. Their value depends on the quality of the visual evidence they return, which means the camera must see enough detail for a human reviewer or an AI model......

Camera Reliability in ASRS: Why a Single Point of Failure Can Slow Down the Entire System

Suresh Madhu
In ASRS, any camera failure rarely appears as an obviously visible hardware issue. Instead, it shows up inside the automation flow, where the control system needs visual confidence before clearing the next movement, handoff, placement, or recovery step. The camera may be a small part of the machine, but the......
