Building AI-Powered Solutions with No-Code Computer Vision Programming

It sounds like a high-tech electronics magazine from the 1980s: Computer Vision. This powerful process, however, is revolutionizing the way entire industries—from aerospace to manufacturing—approach quality control.

Add in AI features like machine learning and continuous improvement, and you have a procedure for creating, training, and scaling processes that enable companies to grow rapidly without sacrificing quality. So, how can businesses begin building such a solution? Let’s take a closer look. 

What is No-Code Computer Vision Programming? 

No-code computer vision programming is the process of training and launching computer vision models without the need to write code. Many processes are now embracing the broader movement of “no-code”, which enables users with little or no programming experience to operate, create, and manage advanced technology through the use of user-friendly interfaces and processes. 

How Does No-Code Computer Vision Work? 

Rather than manually coding processes and pipelines by hand, no-code computer vision works by allowing users to either upload or livestream video related to their use case. The platform then provides tools that label any specific objects, patterns, or features in the object that was uploaded. 

The user then specifies what it wants the model to do. For example, detect any defects in the production of an electronics device, or classify vehicles in traffic footage. From there, the AI uses pre-made machine learning frameworks to train the model based on the end goal. The trained model is then tested to make sure it’s accurate and integrated into the user’s existing environment on-site, or launched in the cloud. 

How Matroid Leverages AI-Powered Computer Vision Solutions

Matroid provides a fully customizable no-code platform that gives users the tools and interface to create, deploy, and manage a variety of custom detectors without any prior programming knowledge. This in turn means that any professional, developer or not, can take advantage of these advanced technologies. 

What sets Matroid apart, however, is its focus on creating a variety of detectors to service various industries. Pre-made detectors built and tested by the Matroid community can be up and running in minutes, backed by impressive quality and functionality. 

Users can use any type of device, from a camera to a smartphone, to record processes or images and upload or stream them to Matroid’s AI-powered platform for detection. These detectors can then identify everything from defects in products and machinery to ensuring worker safety and compliance on the manufacturing floor. See who is coming on-site, when, and how often. Proactively spot any threats or prohibited objects. Keep an automated eye on safety and compliance. The variety of uses is nearly endless. 

No-Code Computer Vision in the Manufacturing Industry

To see one of many examples of Matroid at work, consider the manufacturing industry. Using computer vision to automate the QC process, manufacturing companies can eliminate human error or issues with consistency in their production lines. 

With detailed and machine learning, Matroid’s platform enables users to spot flaws in finished goods, from missed robotic welds, to pitting, scratches, and more. This system is incredibly flexible and can be customized for very specific use cases. 

All you need to do is install cameras at the points in the manufacturing process that you want to monitor, and then use Matroid Studio to create Detectors to spot the defects. No programming experience is needed to use Matroid Studio. Billions of visual media files can be searched in milliseconds, greatly shortening the QC process while saving hours and potentially millions of dollars. 

Detectors: What Are They And How Do They Work? 

Detectors are at the core of what makes Matroid’s no-code computer vision and AI sophistication possible. A detector is a pre-trained computer model that searches through images or video to flag objects or persons of interest. 

For example, a live stream of a production line can be used together with a detector to identify defects in products in real-time. A video of a food product moving along an assembly line can use a detector to spot foreign objects or contamination before the product hits store shelves. Monitoring can also be enabled or disabled using Matroid’s API. 

With the Matroid API, you can build, test, and deploy detectors. You can choose to work with one of Matroid’s many pre-made detectors or create one using your own examples. Matroid allows you to import detectors into its system, delete them, retrain them, and more. You can also optionally enable and disable the monitoring process if you need to make adjustments. 

Installing and Working with Matroid

It’s easy to set up and start working with Matroid. The system can be deployed in your local secure environment on your premises. The training and monitoring functionality are all designed to work offline, which keeps data security and primacy front and center. 

Matroid can also be launched in the cloud for easy and efficient access, letting users deploy the system in days, not months. The reports generated by the system can also help companies spot trends, review errors, avoid bottlenecks, and more. Greater efficiency and scalable productivity have never been easier – no data engineers required – anyone in your organization can use Matroid.
