SwRI Information

Home

A broad range of expertise, and the interdisciplinary composition of our project teams, provide a synergistic advantage to engineering and development at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI).

Machine Vision

Computer vision engineers have contributed to a wide range of projects that incorporate alternate sensors and computer technologies, including:

• Data signals integrated from different sensors using sensor fusion

• Train speed monitors using radar and acoustic sensors

• Distributed computing system for modeling and visualization

• Enhanced robot control using measured tool-work piece reaction forces

• Manufacturing process improvement and new process development

Custom Systems

SwRI staff members have supported technology assessments for:

• Railway crossing monitoring

• High-voltage power distribution line inspection

• Sensor technology for industrial process control

• Materials for new manufacturing processes

• System or vehicle-animal collision warning
