Our 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).


Computer vision engineers at SwRI 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

Institute 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
