04 / VISION SYSTEMS

Computer vision systems I've built.

Detection, tracking, and inspection that run on real cameras in real places, plus the datasets, dashboards, and pipelines around them. Computer vision is where I started.

Computer vision

Cameras that detect, count, and flag defects on real production lines, in real time. It's where I started.

Detection → tracking → zone logic → event, running on every frame.

HOW THEY'RE BUILT

From pixels to decisions.
