How-to evaluate AI Vision without camera

Discover how to test and validate AI (Artificial Intelligence) vision applications without investing in a camera. This video shows you how to use IDS NXT lighthouse to create a proof of concept in minutes – completely free for one month. Learn how to train a neural network, organise datasets, and build a vision app without prior machine vision knowledge.

We’ll walk through a practical example of checking circuit board quality, demonstrating how to upload images, train and validate your model, and even debug your application in the cloud. This approach saves time and money, making AI vision accessible for everyone.
