Algorithms and algorithm extensions¶

You can manage the algorithms and algorithm extensions installed on your Robovision AI platform in System > Settings. Here, you can delete the algorithm or the algorithm extension that you no longer need.

Project type and algorithm¶

When you create a new project, you need to select the project type with the corresponding algorithm:

• Image classification:

  • EfficientNet
  • AI-ADC EfficientNet

• Multilabel classification: Multi-Label EfficientNet

• Object detection: YOLOv8+
• Instance segmentation: YOLOv8+
• Semantic segmentation: PIDNet

Algorithm extensions¶

Algorithm extensions enhance the functionality of existing algorithms by providing additional capabilities.

The OPC-UA algorithm extension integrates OPC-UA protocols with your camera inference system, enabling two key features:

• Camera calibration
• OPC-UA support

Versioning¶

Each algorithm and algorithm extension has a version. It is a combination of numbers such as 5.7 where:

• 5 stands for the major version.

  Glossary

  Major versions typically introduce significant changes that might not be compatible with previous versions. In version numbering, a major version is indicated by the first number.

• 7 denotes the minor version.

  Glossary

  Minor versions usually involve smaller updates that are backward-compatible with the major version. For example, if an algorithm is updated from version 5.7 to 5.8, it generally means that improvements have been made without changing how the algorithm fundamentally works. The minor version is represented by the second number in version numbering.

It may happen that several minor versions of the same algorithm are installed on a Robovision AI platform. In this case, when you create new projects, only the most recent minor version is available.
