Computer Vision and Augmented Reality

Computer Vision (CV) and Augmented Reality (AR) are cutting edge technologies that are rapidly becoming a game changer in many domains since they are enabling transformation of the human machine interactions. This is ultimately bringing new possibilities unachievable before. For example, AR technology allows to diagnose faults and maintain industrial machinery by integrating a physical shape of the device with a digital model in real-time. This approach significantly is reducing human errors and time of the process. Another applications are infotainment, people flow management, navigation, quality control, etc. Being profound experts in embedded systems we’re offering efficient CNN/DNN portation to constrained devices. We know how to achieve best performance with technology stacks like TensorFlow and OpenVINO while reducing complexity of CNN/DNN. Moreover we have a track record of combining edge data processing with cloud management in order to arrange self trained IoT system with optimized data traffic.

RTSoft has rich experience in implementing СV and AR algorithms for its customers.

Information

Smart Assistant to FAE

Having many facilities with complex industrial equipment require a large workforce trained enough to handle many troublesome situations. However, training this large workforce might not be financially viable and reading high volumes of manuals is not efficient anymore for many troublesome situations. This leads to an unintentional misuse of devices and big damage or loss in production environments.

AR allows to overcome this situation by offering FAEs remote assistance in the field. For example, displaying corresponding manuals, AR guided smart instructions, displaying maintenance check list, etc. This can reduce errors, increase efficiency and control over your workforce.

Functionality:

  • AR-based live support video calling
  • Remote AR

Application in Automotive

Algorithms from Machine Learning, Computer Vision and Augmented Reality can be implemented in HMI together with Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) to increase car safety and more generally road safety.

Functionality:

  • Object detection (pedestrians, vehicles, traffic signs, traffic lights, Points of Interest)
  • Gesture control for HMI
  • Driver monitoring
  • Safety alerts, navigation elements, infotainment features on Head-Up Display

Warehouse Assistant

Modern warehouses represent highly sophisticated facilities resembling busy downtowns of large cities. The efficiency of a warehouse’s loader in finding fastest routes to shelves with products, avoiding errors and clogs may increase productivity operations. Real-time tracking of current status of all operations, heat-maps of all routes in warehouse, real-time notification of ending stocks - all of these comprise a smart warehouse. Functionality:

  • usage with smart glasses (ex., EPSON-BT300);
  • real-time navigation just with a monocular camera (no additional dongles, QR codes, etc.);
  • integration with WMS platform.

People flow analysis

Through pairing CV, DNN and IoT technologies we can build a system capable to count people indoor and outdoor, analyse people flow and foot traffic, recognise people for access management purposes. The software system and recognition algorithms can be flexibly distributed among onsite server and cloud while being configured and update totally remotely. 

Functionality: 

  • People counting 
  • Queue counting 
  • Crowd counting 
  • Visitor counting 
  • Foot traffic analysis 
  • Face recognition

Our recent projects
OTA update for smart energy controllers

This update system is a cloud solution designed to increase the efficiency of automatic deployment of new software versions across the entire fleet of Smart Meters, store and update software in the cloud, and swiftly eliminate software bugs and security holes.

One of our partners, a prominent manufacturer of controllers and smart meters for power industry automation, oreder us to develop a software cloud solution for updating smart meter systems. This task is critical for managing a fleet of connected devices, either completely autonomous or not available for qualified on-site maintenance.

System features

The system is based on the RITMS UP2DATE platform created by RTSoft engineers. The platform allows users to update software swiftly, efficiently and reliably both in the global network and in corporate networks, including OEM partners.

The solution contains the following main components:

  • An integrating and managing cloud component

  • Embedded software for remote devices 

Computer vision for people flow analysis in an underground metro station

One of our customers, a CCTV system integration company, requested us to develop a system to count people and measure people flow in underground metro. The purpose of the system is to assist platform load and passenger queues. The video surveillance system had been already deployed there and RTSoft should propose a hardware and software add-on by a very competitive price. 

RTSoft helps customers to build AI + IoT applications through integration of computer vision, data analysis and augmented reality.  Our experience in embedded platforms (Intel Movidius, Nvidia Jetson, Google Coral) and dedicated ML frameworks (Openvino, TensorRT, TFLite) made it possible to fulfill this project.

System features:

  • Visitors headcount

  • Crowd headcount

  • Queue detector

  • GDPRA compliance 


STM32MP1 customized firmware manages smart robotics operations

RTSoft designed and developed the firmware for a smart robotics controller that makes the controller an excellent platform for educational and business uses. 

The system software implements the abstraction interface for work with various sensors and actuators like ultrasonic, camera, thermo, photo, encoder motor, servo motor and many others in Real-Time. The programming API is available in python and C/C++. 

The robotics platform features the color touch display with the graphical interface, which can also be customized by a user via the programming API.

Besides on-board GUI the solution implements two remote interfaces: WebDAV and ssh. Integration with a cloud is supported via MQTT protocol. 

The connectivity is available via WiFi, Bluetooth and USB Ethernet. SD card and USB flash drives can be used to distribute data to/from the controller. Multiple controllers can be connected with each other via CAN interface where a Master controller can seamlessly operate with remote sensors and actuators connected to a Slave controller(s) in the same real-time manner.


Digital cockpit
RTSoft has been chosen by Motherson Innovation GmbH, an innovative automotive company, for prototyping “The Empathic Cockpit” – a digital cockpit of the  future, harmoniously absorbing the newest available technologies for reaching a unique level of comfort and real-time functionality.
The solution was presented at the CES 2018 Show in Las Vegas.
