Selectin has been applied to problems ranging from surgical tool tracking for the Army to space-based machine vision for NASA. The power and flexibility of the toolkit makes it perfect for many applications, including the following:

Object Recognition - The ability to detect objects from CAD models makes Selectin especially well suited to certain classes of object recognition problems. Complex structures, like satellites, cars, and aircraft, are examples of objects that can be identified with Selectin.

Visual Inspection Systems - Historically, inspection systems have employed 1D or 2D sensors for most applications, but recent advances in automation technology and novel manufacturing processes have increased the need for 3D inspection systems. Selectin fills this niche-especially applications with a real-time requirement. Read more about Energid's application of Selectin to real-time aircraft door inspection.

Surveillance - Selectin can be used when a particular object of interest is being sought or when a change to the environment should be detected. This is perfect for homeland security or local and regional surveillance applications.

Vision Based Servoing - When combined with Energid's Actin robot control toolkit, Selecin can be used for image guided robotic control applications. Tracking and identify key objects within the environment allows the manipulator to interact with those objects. Additionally, Selectin can track end-effector positions. By combining tracked position with encoder values improved accuracy and robustness can be attained.
