The project

You join Brightfield Vision Systems Ltd (simulated company)

Brightfield Vision Systems Ltd (simulated company) is a machine vision integrator in Coventry. You help its team deliver a project for Wrenfield Electronics Manufacturing Ltd (simulated company), at SMT line 3, sensor board W3-220 (ticket CVI-054).

You are the junior vision engineer on a camera inspection system for solder bridges on a connector. The Senior Vision Engineer gives you a ticket, an inspection spec, an acquisition sheet with blanks, a labelling guide with mistakes and a set of image-level results. Over four weeks you check the optics, review the labels, find that the test set shares boards with the training set, show that 97 percent accuracy means nothing, discover that the night shift is dark, and then handle a new board variant, a production manager who wants to loosen the threshold in secret, lens dust, a customer escape and the handover to the line team.

The people in the story are roles, such as Lead Engineer, not real people.

What you will do

By the end you will have

  • Work out resolution, blur and time to the reject gate from an image acquisition sheet
  • Review a labelling guide, measure annotator agreement and find a split that puts the same board in train and test
  • Show why 97 percent accuracy means nothing when 97 percent of boards are good, and report escapes and false rejects by shift
  • Choose a threshold with costs, resist a zero-escape demand and a request to loosen the threshold in secret
  • Judge latency at the 95th percentile, track lens dust, review a validation report and hand the system to the line team

Day by day

The plan, ticket by ticket

Self-paced. A day opens when you hand in the previous day's tickets.

Questions

Quick answers

Do I need to know image processing or deep learning?

No. The tasks are checked as numbers, decisions and writing, and the data comes as per-image labels and scores in CSV files. A spreadsheet is enough. The vision level in the browser lab shows the ideas on a conveyor.

Is this a real factory and a real model?

No. Brightfield Vision Systems and Wrenfield Electronics Manufacturing are made-up, the data is synthetic and generated with planted problems. The documents, tickets and situations follow what a junior vision engineer meets on a real line.

How long does it take?

The free week is about ten hours of work spread over five days. The full Premium edition runs over twenty working days and roughly thirty to forty hours, at your own pace.

Which cameras, libraries or cloud do I have to use?

None. The content is vendor-neutral and talks about a camera, a lens, a model and an edge device, so what you learn applies to any supplier.

What do I get at the end?

A work record with your scores by task and skill, which shows on your EDWartens profile under Work experience, marked as a job simulation.

Is the Computer Vision Engineer job simulation free?

Yes, to start. Days 1 to 5 are free. The certificate and the Premium edition are optional and are priced on this page in your currency.

Does it count as work experience?

It shows on your EDWartens profile under Work experience, marked as a job simulation. It is not employment. A job simulation is a realistic training project at a simulated company. It is not employment, an internship or a work placement. Hours are active hours the learner logged on EDWartens.
