Airport trays verification
The Aurora Vision software by Zebra Technologies includes advanced deep learning capabilities, allowing users to create customized algorithms tailored to their specific needs. One notable example of this flexibility is a project carried out by the Technical University of Vienna, specifically the Institute for Production Engineering and Photonic Technologies. The development at the Institute was led by a team of experts, Dipl.-Ing. Fabian Singer and Dipl.-Ing. Laurenz Pickel, who specialize in providing bespoke machine vision solutions. In this project, the team developed a dual-function system that combines both 2D image analysis using deep learning and 3D measurement using classical machine learning algorithms.
Deep Learning-Based 2D-Image Classification
The first component of the system is a deep learning model, designed to analyze images of airport security trays and classify them into one of three categories:
• Empty trays
• Trays with objects left behind
• Trays requiring attention due to liquid spills
This algorithm was trained on a dataset of 350 images, ensuring accurate detection and classification to improve airport security measures. The deep learning approach enables the system to provide real-time feedback and detailed visualizations, such as heatmaps, that guide security personnel in identifying issues swiftly. 
3D Measurement with Classical Machine Learning
The second component of the system focuses on 3D analysis. Unlike the 2D image classification, this part of the system uses classical machine learning algorithms to perform precise measurements of the tray and its contents:
• Measures the entire tray volume
• Calculates the volumes of the objects inside the tray
• Determines the total volume of the tray’s contents
• Identifies the maximum fill height
This volumetric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the tray's status, allowing for efficient resource management at security checkpoints. 
Integration and Efficiency
The combination of deep learning for 2D classification and classical machine learning for 3D measurements results in a highly effective solution for airport tray verification. The system operates in real-time and provides security staff with accurate insights, enhancing the precision and speed of airport security procedures. Zebra Aurora Vision software, in conjunction with machine vision cameras, significantly raises the precision and efficiency of airport tray control, ensuring enhanced security protocols at checkpoints. For inquiries regarding custom machine vision solutions, we invite you to reach out directly to the Institute or contact the lead scientists of this project. You can find more information at TU Wien - Institute for Production Engineering and Photonic Technologies.
Diameter Inspection
For this vision project, a few engineers have used the Zebra Aurora Vision software to develop an innovative application dedicated to diameter dimension inspection of tempered steel rings. Inspection of the roundness and inner diameter dimensions of steel rings. By harnessing the power of machine vision cameras, this advanced system provides highly accurate assessment. Thus allowing the engineers to examine these critical components to an impressive tolerance of up to +/- 0.1 mm.
The Zebra Aurora Vision software plays a pivotal role in this success story, providing a robust platform for diameter inspection that goes beyond conventional limits. Its adaptive algorithms, seamlessly integrated with machine vision cameras, facilitate real-time measurements and analysis. The Aurora Vision software ensures that the inner diameter of the steel rings meets stringent quality standards. This breakthrough not only signifies a significant advancement in industrial inspection processes but also underscores the transformative impact of Aurora Vision software in achieving unparalleled accuracy and efficiency in dimensional assessments. Explore the details of this success story via this link.
PCB Positioning
The Zebra Aurora Vision software, particularly the advanced Zebra Aurora Vision Studio, is taking a technological step forward and has emerged as a game-changer in the field of PCB positioning. In this application, the Aurora Vision software is used combined with a 5MP USB3 Camera such as our MER2-503-36U3M camera. This combination led to accurate determination of PCB positioning with an impressive measurement accuracy of up to 0.05mm.
The use of Aurora Vision software adds a new dimension to the inspection process, allowing PCB positioning to be accurately examined. The versatility of the software is illustrated by its compatibility with flexible macro filters, allowing customised adjustments to meet specific application requirements. What sets this success story apart is the seamless integration capability, which allows quick export of DLL files. This feature not only streamlines the integration process, but also gives users the flexibility to seamlessly incorporate the solution into their own operating software.

Recently we purchased a camera with lens, and LED lights. We are not experienced with machine vision but the installation worked out fine. After installation on our laboratory we were surprised again of the high quality of the photos and the versatility of this system. (options in Galaxy viewer and integration in Python. Recently we had an issue with the software and the customer support was able to give us the relevant information to fix it within one day. The next time we need a camera we will not be looking to other suppliers but contact GeT Cameras immediately.

For a new product development there was a lot of price pressure. We needed a cheap camera. I called them and Caspar was providing great support. He even advised a cheaper camera than I had in mind. I was just surprised by the inhouse knowledge of get cameras about machine vision. Never expected this from a webshop. The image an built quality of the camera is also great. The camera feels and operates the same as our Basler cameras.

In the beginning I was sceptic because of the low prices, but support by email was great. They advise a lens and provided additional technical information. Unfortunately they don't offer a loan service, but I decided to try it. I had the cameras in house within 2 weeks and connection was easy. The SDK looks like the SDK from Basler so I felt directly comfortable with it. The camera and lens was a perfect match and now I'm able to read small DMC codes on large products with just a single camera.
