OmniScan 360 Industrial Vision System

360° Vision, Zero Blind Spots

Overview

The OmniScan 360 Industrial Vision System is a challenging, multi-camera inspection tool that can take high-quality panoramic pictures in real time in tough industrial settings. It has 360° visual coverage, superior IMU-based picture stabilization, and real-time video stitching, which makes it better than regular handheld inspection equipment. The approach makes data clearer, speeds up operations, and makes them safer in difficult situations like high-vibration zones, robotic arms, and inspections done by drones.

Business Challenges

High vibrations, blind spots owing to restricted FOV, operator fatigue from manual repositioning, and fragmented, non-stitched data reduced industrial inspection efficiency, accuracy, and safety in critical situations.

  • Extreme Vibration-Induced Motion Blur: Consistent EIS/OIS didn't work well with high-frequency vibrations.
  • Limited Field of View: Single-camera systems caused blind spots and disjointed footage.
  • Manual Operation Fatigue: Recurring repositioning improved inspection time and operator strain.
  • Fragmented Data: Not being able to give stitched, real-time, panoramic footage for full context.

    Best Practices

    Key Best Practices in Designing Industrial 360° Imaging Systems for Stability, Efficiency, and Reliability.

    • Sensor Fusion Must Be Real-Time: DSP offload and exact clock sync are very important when there is industrial vibration.
    • Camera synchronization is a must: For stitching without artifacts, hardware must be in sync with sub-ms accuracy.
    • Balancing Latency vs. Accuracy: Hybrid filtering lets you stabilize things quickly without losing the ability to rectify long-term drift.
    • GPU/DSP Workload Tuning: Profiling and isolating the EIS and stitching pipelines make sure that the work is done in real time.
