Getting Started with Tulip Vision

From hardware selection to basic use-cases, everything you need to add computer vision to your apps

About this course

Add Vision to Your Apps

With commonplace off-the-shelf cameras, you can bring a new level of interactivity to your applications. With Tulip Vision, you can create applications that guide operators, measure output, and respond to actions in a dynamic environment.

In this course, you'll learn the basics of Tulip vision. You'll learn how to:

Select the correct cameras
Connect cameras to Tulip
Create multiple types of change detectors
Use cameras and detectors in trigger logic

In roughly 30 minutes, you'll learn everything you need to transform your operations with Vision.

Curriculum

Welcome
Getting Started: Hardware and Cameras
Camera Configuration

To use vision, you'll need to create a camera configuration in Tulip. This will allow you to use create different detection profiles for use in your applications. Camera configurations can be shared across physical cameras. In short, this is the step that helps you bridge the digital world of the application with the physical reality a camera observes.

This video will introduce you to the concepts you need to understand camera configurations, and walk you step-by-step through the process.
Creating and Using Detectors

Detectors are how vision applications interact with action in the world. They're computer vision algorithms that detect different types of changes. In practice, you'll use detectors in you applications to allow your apps to interact with different types of changes in the camera's field of vision, like color, volume occupied, the presence/absence of specific patterns (jigs), and text.
Using Cameras and Detectors in Trigger Logic
Collecting Data and Connecting to External Services
To get the most out of Vision, it can help to connect your applications to external services, like databases and APIs. This video will walk you through some examples, and detail how to use connector functions to integrate external services into you Vision applications.

NOTE: This video assumes familiarity with connectors, connector functions, and APIs. See resources below for more context.

Supplementary Materials:
- Tulip University Course: HTTP and SQL Connectors
- What are connectors?
