Anomaly Detection & Analysis

INSPECT THE UNEXPECTED^tm

Boulder Imaging offers Quazar Vision Inspector Guardian a new intelligent machine vision system for anomaly detection and analysis

Through the capture and analysis of visual and non visual data you can locate and identify anomalies and take immediate action to correct them.

The VI Guardian provides system monitoring to ensure that your machines and production lines are functioning within desired specification. Any anomalous behavior creates a fault condition which can trigger line adjustments (e.g., stops, slow-downs) as well as provide immediate alerts and other notifications. The Guardian is capable of delivering detailed insight into historical down time, employee response time, and assembly line throttling, thus minimizing product waste and system downtime.

Although Anomaly Detection and Analysis is commonly applied to the security and surveillance fields it is an effective tool for process and quality control. It is worth noting that this topic is a bit broader than just detection and analysis of events. Anomalies can include variation in products along with non functional or consistently defective items.

Anomalous incidents typically cost organizations time and money to isolate, diagnose, and resolve. Companies often don't know that an anomaly is taking place, especially in high speed, high throughput environments. Determining specific location, timing, or source of an anomaly can be extremely difficult, requiring the right tool to capture the event and report it at a level of detail useful to provide actionable intelligence around it. The Quazar Vision Inspector Guardian is exactly the right tool. By recording the event in the visible spectrum, or Infrared spectra, or both, with multiple high resolution, high speed cameras, the analysis of the video provides profound insight and observation at a high level of accuracy.

Anomaly Detection and Analysis can be broadly applied to a number of applications in a wide array of industries. A few examples are:

• Military & Defense - examination of missile flight path & trajectory, detonation, and fragmentation

• Aerospace - examination of multiple camera views in multiple spectra for details of a missile launch and for observation of anomalous incidents such as flying debris
• Line Manufacturing – examination of parts assembly, automated and/or robotic line production, and/or component specification tolerances
• Cross Industry Application – ensuring incidents align with calculated models, processes, expected results, and/or product specifications

Boulder Imaging Exceeds Your Anomaly Detection & Analysis Needs

The Quazar Vision Inspector Guardian system includes various data collection instruments, including high speed cameras and/or high resolution cameras coupled with a powerful, high resolution video recording system capable of capturing visual and non visual data continuously 24/7, Boulder Imaging provides you with the means to drastically improve quality and control issues. Various capabilities are absolutely essential when it comes to capturing incidents and analyzing them appropriately. Here are just a few critical items:

• Ability to apply levels of characterization to defects and/or variations
• 24/7 recording to capture the "unexpected"
• Option to collect multi sensor, multi location data inputs (visual and/or non visual)
• Provide extensive feature rich data review/playback providing for extensive event examination
• Capture and store longitudinal data for multi event analysis

Organizations realizing the benefits of Anomaly Detection and Analysis. Implementing a Boulder Imaging solution to collect and analyze data for detection of anomalous incidents is remarkably affordable and has an ROI that will far outweigh the cost - in as little as months.
