Nikon Metrology has released AI Reconstruction, a 3D computed tomography (CT) reconstruction software solution powered by artificial intelligence.
By applying deep learning techniques to enhance image quality, Nikon’s AI Reconstruction technology enables rapid results and optimized analysis. The deep-learning model underpinning AI Reconstruction is trained to distinguish relevant information from the scan artifacts to effectively filter noise and improve clarity.
AI Recontruction is well-suited for the automotive, aerospace and manufacturing sectors, as well as the medical device industry, which require meticulous quality control via precise metrology. The technology offers flexible integration with leading analysis packages for reliable inspection of challenging component geometries.
Chris Price, product manager with Nikon for X-ray and CT systems, says, “This technology leap helps testing and quality teams enhance throughput and precision like never before — the dramatically sharper image quality reveals minute product flaws that used to require painstaking scans, while the faster scan speeds let users reliably analyze many more units per day.”
“As volumes grow to meet the demands of next-generation transport, manufacturers increasingly require automated quality control to match factory speeds,” Price says. “Nikon intends to solidify its position on the lithium-ion battery assembly line by providing AI augmentation for boosted evaluation productivity.”
