Machine vision in agricultural and industrial off-road environments is very challenging. Dust, debris and many other issues confuse traditional machine vision systems. The lack of a robust machine vision system is one reason why heavy equipment in these applications lack wider autonomy. Machine Eye has developed a world leading machine vision solution specifically for these environments. This machine vision capability is the cornerstone of fully autonomous off-highway vehicles. Across industrial vehicles it will enable safe, sustainable, reduced-carbon operations, paving the way for fully autonomy. Machine Eye is an EIS eligible company.
