Mosaic Software and Mosaic Data Science are building easily deployed custom AI applications powered by deep learning to automate tasks that normally require human vision.
Computer Vision | AI within reach
Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence that trains a computer to extract the kind of information from images that would normally require human vision.
The goal of these deep learning models is not only to see, but also process and provide useful results based on the observation.
Machines can accurately classify and summarize images, identify objects, find similar images, and more. With the right application, they can react to what they see and automate a traditionally time-consuming process.
The only limits to these technologies lie within our ability to think of problems for them to solve.
Mosaic will fit a solution to you & your business processes, not the other way around.
Businesses are adopting machine vision, yet many experience challenges
According to the leading market research firm Statista – the computer vision market is expected to grow to $30B in annual revenue by 2025.
Based on the latest media hype, you might think a business can just point convolutional neural networks at a problem, and presto, they have machines classifying images. In reality, properly designing and deploying a functional computer vision system involves complex steps that require significant expertise to carry out successfully.
It is very challenging for a single piece of software to solve multiple use cases. Each organization’s data is quite different. A Fast R-CNN might fit a set of data inputs for one use case, while a SSD is better at identifying a different set of images. If you are going for competitive advantage, why not build something powerful & unique to your business?
Without understanding the mechanics behind these models, you run the risk of not understanding the outputs, not being able to tune the model or not being able to translate analytics to business terms. You’ll spend a lot of time and money on a failed project if you don’t rely on the experts.
Many companies have failed to properly use computer vision because they lack the required experience. Experts with significant computer vision experience can help you create models that are adaptive and customizable, with understandable outputs and analytics that translate to business value.
Mosaic has helped several customers put machine vision to work for them.
Real-Time Routing
Transportation firms utilize these computer vision algorithms to facilitate real-time routing, biomarker analysis and drone integration.
Asset Identification
Energy companies need to conduct inspections on their physical infrastructure, computer vision more accurately predicts degradation & alerts maintenance.
Product Defect Identification
Manufacturers can train deep learning models to identify defects in their manufacturing processes, boosting throughput efficiency.
Facial Recognition
Computer vision excels at identifying unique people using facial recognition. Low hanging fruit include the use cases around security, loyalty and segmentation.
Health
Machine vision can save lives, plain and simple. In the high pressure world of complex surgery, computers can work with humans to identify biological risks. Insights can aid doctors in identifying predictive biomarkers, improving patient outcomes.
Predictive Maintenance
By training AI to accurately identify asset defects, these models can predict exactly where & when an asset will go down.
Mosaic can build you a powerful, custom computer vision solution. Our data scientists are experts at the deep learning development needed to train these machines. Our data engineers can help gather and organize your data. Our software engineers can integrate your computer vision models with products and deploy them in a scalable infrastructure.
Buying an out of the box solution might sound nice, but tuning deep learning takes substantial customization from an experienced data scientist. If a company promises you an out of the box solution to classify images, they do not understand the complexity of computer vision or artificial intelligence and you run the risk of a black box that doesn’t work.
Mosaic works with our customers where they are. We frequently coach and mentor our customers even while solving critical business problems.

Buy vs. Build: What’s the best approach for custom software?
Computer vision sounds expensive. At Mosaic, we use existing infrastructure and leverage open source platforms to achieve significant cost savings. Mosaic is a proponent of custom software, believing this approach truly provides businesses with a unique competitive advantage. Effective computer vision and deep learning solutions must be customized to the specific customer domain and data. Off-the-shelf solutions simply can not provide the true benefits of computer vision.
The Executive Role in a Data-Driven Organization
Integrating artificial intelligence models into a business decision making process might be a shock for some executives. Mosaic builds our solutions with an eye towards usability. What good is AI if you can’t understand what it is telling you?
