ZiCAMTM - Thinks like a human, Works like a machine

Introduction

Because of pressures to increase productivity and decrease costs, machine vision has been widely adopted by manufacturing operations.

A limit to machine vision's acceptance has been the complexity of system training, coupled with the system's inability to perform inspections similarly to a human.

A new neural network based "smart camera" is now available that:

z Is taught by showing examples rather than programming z Mimics a humans ability to make "subjective" inspections.

ZiCAMTM

The ZiCAMTM is a member of an entirely new family of neural network based Smart Cameras.

The ZiCAMTM is architected on Zero Instruction Set Computing or ZISC, which is a neural bank created on a single die of silicon.

ZISC was developed and patented by Silicon Recognition Systems in partnership with IBM.

The ZISC chips are implemented as part of a patented Multi-Media Recognition Engine, or MURENTM
