Visual perception enabled industry intelligence: state of the art, challenges and prospects

Visual perception refers to the process of organizing, identifying and interpreting visual information in environmental awareness and understanding. With the rapid progress of multimedia acquisition technology, research on visual perception has been a hot topic in the academical field and industrial applications. Especially after the introduction of artificial intelligence theory, intelligent visual perception has been widely used to promote the development of industrial production towards intelligence. In this paper, we review the previous research and application of visual perception in different industrial fields such as product surface defect detection, intelligent agricultural production, image synthesis, event reconstruction, intelligent driving and pose measurement. The applications basically cover most of the intelligent visual perception processing technologies. Through this survey, it will provide a comprehensive reference for research on this direction. Finally, this paper also summarizes the current challenges of visual perception and predicts its future development trends.
