Electronic Perception Technology (EPT) is a low-cost imaging technology that forms a 3D map of surroundings. EPT can detect up to 400 characters per minute and has various applications in consumer, automotive, industrial, military, security, research, and medical sectors. It can be used for quality inspections, safety standards, and self-driving cars.
Electronic Perception Technology (EPT) is a low-cost single-chip imaging technology that allows electronic components to form a 3D map of their surroundings and see what their users are doing. One of the first applications is a “virtual keyboard”, a system that projects a laser keyboard onto a table and detects the keys that the user is pressing by looking at his hands and detecting which points on the table his fingers are touching. Current EPT keyboards can detect up to 400 characters per minute.
By sending pulses of light and calculating how long it takes for the reflection to return to the sensor, EPT systems can determine depth. This is very different from the way the human brain determines depth, but still effective. EPT systems can accurately determine brightness and distinguish objects from each other.
The applications of effective machine vision technology are extremely broad. They include products for the consumer, automotive, industrial, military, security, research and medical sectors. EPT is the difference between having products and tools that see and products that don’t.
Imagine special guns with EPT sensors that recognize the gun’s field of view and refuse to fire when a human enters the line of fire. Or elegant robots on wheels that can serve appetizers and drinks at a cocktail party without bumping into guests or furniture. The company that owns the best EPT technology currently available has already filed dozens of patents for various applications.
In manufacturing, EPT can be used to sort products or product components, conduct quality inspections, and observe the assembly environment to ensure safety standards are met. This technology will enable an even greater level of automation in today’s manufacturing, freeing up human hands and minds for higher-level creative pursuits. In transport, the EPT will be equipped on cars to produce self-driving cars, minimizing accidents and offering better-than-human performance for certain driving tasks. The possible applications of this technology are practically unlimited.
