#1 Expertise born in research, expanded with AI

 

Dilepix was founded at Inria, the French National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology. Our CTO, Aurélien Yol, comes from Inria. Our early developments were built on ViSP, a leading platform for visual servoing and robot control.

Since then, our expertise has grown considerably. Today, it brings together three complementary skill sets:

  • Computer vision, to extract reliable information from images, even in harsh field conditions.
  • Artificial intelligence and deep learning, with neural networks designed and trained by our team for each use case.
  • Vision-based robot control, to track, locate and act in real time.

#2 Cloud or embedded?

 

Depending on your project and your setup, we deploy our solutions in two ways:

  • Cloud: standard cameras become smart cameras, with images analyzed remotely.
  • Embedded: analysis runs directly inside your machines, robots or production lines, for real-time action.
Cloud embedded

#3 Our cloud solutions

Images or videos captured by your cameras are analyzed within seconds on our servers. Results are then sent to your own tool or to a dedicated interface. This is the ideal option for long-term monitoring, especially in livestock farming.

 

Option 1 – Integrated into your platform

Our analyses feed into your own tool. You keep control of your interface and of your customer relationships, while Dilepix remains your technology partner behind the scenes.

Option 2 – An interface designed by Dilepix

Don’t have an existing tool? We design the interface that lets your users make the most of the results, simply.

#4 Our embedded solutions

To act in real time, our solutions are built directly into your equipment: robots, controllers, tractors, implements or production lines. Images are analyzed right at the machine, enabling precise actions without relying on a network connection, whether that means controlling a robot or automating a production line.

Custom development

We work with you to design the vision systems that guide and automate your machines, or we improve the ones you already have:

  • automatic steering and guidance;
  • precision detection;
  • object and material recognition and localization;
  • automated handling.

Crop production: weed detection

Drone images of a pea field are analyzed automatically to detect and count weeds, preparing the ground for targeted treatment. (CARTAM project)

 

Livestock: monitoring cows at the feed bunk

A camera facing the headlocks analyzes cow activity. The data collected makes it possible to track indicators such as remaining feed or rumination time.

#6 What sets our technology apart

  • Custom development: solutions designed around your needs, not an off-the-shelf product to adapt.
  • End-to-end expertise: from image acquisition to integration into your systems.
  • Expertise rooted in research, with 25 years of computer vision R&D originating at Inria.
  • A wide range of applications: pig, cattle and insect farming, arable crops, farm machinery and robotics.
  • One camera, many uses: a single device can feed several applications.
  • Non-invasive solutions: cameras observe without any contact with animals or crops.
  • Richer data: vision can be combined with other sensors (RFID, IoT) for individual-level analysis.
