Cognex Corp., Natick, Mass., acquired ViDi Systems SA, a Switzerland-based maker of deep learning software for industrial machine vision. The acquisition was completed on April 4.
ViDi’s deep learning software uses artificial intelligence techniques to improve image analysis in applications where it is difficult to predict the full range of image variations. Using feedback, ViDi’s software trains the system to distinguish between acceptable variations and defects.
