Artificial intelligence

By Jim Carroll, CTO, and Ben Stammers, Head of Marketing, Digica In short: Digica’s CTO, Jim Carroll, judges an engineering supplier on its process, not its technology. He checks who they’ve worked for, asks for evidence of how they…

Some say artificial intelligence (AI) will be the next big thing after the internet: a tool enabling new industries and improving the lives of ordinary people. Others think AI is the greatest threat to society as we know it. This articl…

  As humans, we have a visual system that allows us to see (extract and understand) shapes, colours and contours. So why do we see every image as a different image? How do we know, for example, that a box in an image is, in realit…

  We all have that one uncle in the family who knows the answer to every question. Even if that answer is often wrong. Let’s call him Uncle Bob. From politics to science, he confidently shares his opinion on every possible topic…

A practical use for object detection based on Convolutional Neural Networks is in devices which can support people with impaired vision. An embedded device which runs object-detection models can make everyday life easier for users with…

  Increasing yields has been a key goal for farmers since the dawn of agriculture. People have continually looked for ways to maximise food production from the land available to them. Until recently, land management techniques suc…

The semiconductor industry stands as a driving force behind technological advancements, powering the devices that have become integral to modern life. As the demand for faster, smaller and more energy-efficient chips continues to grow…

Application of Computer Vision in the Industrial Sector   Inventory management is a key process for all industrial companies, but the inventory process is both time-consuming and error-prone. Mistakes can be very costly, and it i…

As smart home technology continues to evolve, our homes are becoming equipped with an increasing number of sensors, each capable of generating valuable data. From security systems and motion detectors to monitoring electricity and water…
