Mix and match triggers

For some applications, such as wheel lip classification, there are up to 30 different variants, leading to 30 different trigger strings - pipelining such applications requires unique combinations of the stage 1 and stage 2 inspections, leading to ...

Automatic creation of validation sets

Current process: When a revised model is trained, it is deployed and tested on a larger dataset (5000+ images). Plant users don’t want to replace a model that is already QLS enabled unless there is high confidence in its performance. This is easy ...

Allow typing in dataset name for copy/move of files from one dataset to another

When selecting a data set to copy/move files to, you have to scroll through all the datasets to find the one you are looking for. However, when adding a dataset to a project you can search by typing in the name of a dataset. If this same type to i...

Separation of old data and new data

Users would like to keep old data (>6 months) around for occasional access. However, this data doesn't need to be as rapidly accessible as the current data. If we could mark some data for storage in other places, or perhaps cheaper cloud storag...

Add a 'Polygon' Option (for Image Segmentation Models Testing) to 'Video Annotations' in the 'Deployed Model' Menu of MVI

In MAS85-MVI's 'Deployed Models' screen, we can test a Model with video snippets, with a 'Dots' or 'Bounding Boxes' option for 'Video Annotations'. Could we also have a 'Polygon' option so that the annotated video would show the polygons as they w...

Keep display settings

Users usually want to look at more than 20 images at a time, so they have to select a larger number of images not only every time they log in, but also every time they leave and return to a page. Keeping this setting for the duration of a login se...

500 image per page option

An active plant can get more than 1000 new images in a data set in day, and having to click through more than 10 pages for a single day is a hassle. It also makes it difficult to compare results across the entire day. An additional option for 500 ...

Change bounding box color for failed inspections

Currently, all inspected objects have a green box, whether the inspection was a pass or fail. Having this box be a different color would make it easier to tell at a glance which inspections were considered a failure.

Allow full copy feature of inspections from older iphones to newer iphones

Today Ford has to completely rebuild the inspection from scratch on the new iphone. Workbench has a feature to do this but is 60-90% effective as it doesn't copy over inspection thresholds and logic.

See classification data associated with an image in a xml file!!!!!!

Today it's in a json file. With thousands of images it's simply too hard and time consuming to parse what we need. Net: we avoid classification even when it's the best option because MVI doesn't give the modelers the data needed succeed.
