Software for Computer Vision is often used in embedded systems to support automatic workflow and to providesafety critical functionality.

This presentation will show how one of the world-leading companies for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) solutions, bioMérieux, applied Computer Vision in laboratory instruments and transitioned from using black-box and integrated devices to designing more distributed hardware/software solutions.

Additionally the presentation will provide a case study on how Altran succeeded in defining the tool chain underpinning the entire development, from Computer Vision algorithms design to embedded firmware deployment and testing.

Architectural flexibility and a robust design control approach were fundamental drivers for the project and will facilitate meeting safety and regulatory requirements in bioMérieux’s diagnostics solutions.
