FAQ

Technical and Delivery Questions

Why is lighting part of the technical route?

Reliable contrast and controlled reflections can reduce ambiguity, missed detections and data demand. The algorithm cannot recover information that the imaging chain does not capture.

Can hardware selection be delivered without algorithm development?

Yes, when the customer provides sufficient target, interface and acceptance inputs. A bench test may still be required to confirm the proposed imaging route.

When is a custom prototype necessary?

When standard devices cannot meet interface, size, thermal, enclosure, synchronization or integration constraints. The customization boundary should be frozen before detailed design.
