Use-case specific computer vision

Custom Computer Vision Models for Your Specific Use Case

One problem, one model, trained on your own images. We scope the visual task, build the model, tune it for your hardware and put it into production.
  • Trained on your data
  • Cloud, edge or on-prem
  • Proof of concept in 4–6 weeks

1/4We start from your cameras and your edge cases: glare, blur, partial occlusion and night shifts, not a public dataset.

Why custom

Generic models break in real conditions

A demo that works on stock photos still misses your parts, your lighting and your camera angles.

  • Your objects aren't in the dataset

    Public classes don't cover your parts, labels or defects.
  • Benchmarks don't transfer

    Scores on public data say little about your factory floor.
  • Too slow, or too costly

    Unoptimised models stall on edge devices and burn cloud spend.

ClassesFixed, generic label setExactly the classes your process needs
ConditionsFails on glare, blur and night shiftsTrained on those frames on purpose
SpeedWhatever the vendor shipsTuned to your target device and frame rate

How it works

From one visual task to a running system

A model is one part of it. The pipeline around it is what keeps working next year.

Seven-stage computer vision pipeline: image and video sources, data storage and processing, annotation and labeling, model training and evaluation, inference engine, deployment layer, and monitoring and retraining
A production computer vision system is a pipeline, not a single model.
What a system like this costs
  1. Stage 1

    Define the decision

    We agree what the model must decide, which frames count as hard cases, and the accuracy target we will measure against.
    Written spec and success metric
  2. Stage 2

    Collect and label your frames

    Images come from your cameras, including glare, motion blur, occlusion and low light. Labels follow written guidelines and get a second review.

  3. Stage 3

    Train and test by condition

    Training starts from a pre-trained checkpoint. Results are broken down per condition so weak spots get more data rather than a rounded-up average.

  4. Stage 4

    Optimise for the target device

    Quantisation, pruning and TensorRT or Core ML export bring the model inside your latency and power budget on the hardware you actually have.

  5. Stage 5

    Deploy and wire it in

    The model ships behind an API or onto the device, with results written into your software, PLC or dashboard. Low-confidence frames go to review.

  6. Stage 6

    Watch it and retrain

    Drift and failure cases are logged, corrected and folded into the next training run, so accuracy holds as your environment changes.

What we build

One well-defined visual task at a time

Each engagement targets a single decision, taken from prototype to production.

  • Object detection

    Find and locate specific items in a frame, then count or track them.
    Output: boxes, classes, counts
    How we train detectors
  • Classification and segmentation

    Sort images by your own taxonomy, or map the exact area affected.
    Output: labels, masks, areas
    Choosing a model
  • Video analytics

    Track movement across frames and raise alerts on unsafe or unusual events.
    Output: tracks, events, alerts
    Safety monitoring
  • OCR and document AI

    Read labels, plates and forms, including rotated and degraded text.
    Output: structured fields
    Document processing
  • Visual search and tagging

    Match a photo against a catalogue, or tag images by feature automatically.
    Output: matches, tags, scores

  • Edge AI on Jetson

    Real-time inference on the device, with no video leaving the site.
    Output: results at the camera

Shipped work

Models running in production

Four use-case specific models, from a phone camera to a hospital imaging workflow.

More work in our case studies, and across packaged solutions.

Deployment

It runs where your cameras are

Inference on the device keeps latency low and video on site. Retraining and reporting stay central.

  • NVIDIA Jetson, mobile or industrial PC
  • Your cloud account, or on-prem
  • Results pushed into your own software

  • API or SDK

    Called from your product, ERP or line controller.
  • Your cloud

    Deployed in your own account, under your policies.
  • Private and on-prem

    For imagery that cannot leave your network.
    Sovereign AI
  • NDA and IP

    You own the weights, code and data.

Getting started

Prove it on your own images first

  1. Step 1: Scoping call

    30 minutes

    We look at sample frames and your target hardware, and say what is feasible.

    • NDA on request
  2. Step 2: Proof of concept

    4–6 weeks

    A working model on your data, measured against the target agreed up front.

    • Accuracy target agreed first
  3. Step 3: Production

    Ongoing

    Integrated, monitored and retrained as your environment changes.

    • You own the IP
