Edge AI in Digital Imaging
Business Challenge: A Japanese multinational struggled with QR code recognition due to poor lighting and damaged codes.
Proposed Solution: Cyient implemented Edge AI-based image processing for real-time QR detection and decoding. We developed and deployed AI models on edge devices like the Raspberry Pi AI Camera, enabling it to host a quantized model and instantly detect QR codes with enhanced accuracy. This enabled the company to efficiently label, train, and deploy custom AI models for the camera with minimal coding experience.
Business Impact:
- Improved Recognition Accuracy: Reliable scanning under diverse conditions.
- Reduced Processing Time: Eliminated cloud dependency for faster results. The turnaround time for QR code detection improved by up to 20% to 30%.
- Optimized Workflows: Multiple QR codes detected in a single scan, improving operational efficiency.
