Use Cases
The RidgeRun Development Suite documentation for RidgeRun is presently being developed. |

Build Faster. Innovate Smarter
The RidgeRun Development Suite (RDS) is designed to supercharge your embedded system development. With pre-built, production-quality components, you can assemble complete solutions in a fraction of the time it would take to develop them from scratch.
RDS isn't just a tarball of binaries—it's a curated toolkit. Think of it like a box of LEGOs: each module is a building block. Combine them using real-world recipes to rapidly build working prototypes.
Why Use RDS?
Rapid Prototyping – Go from idea to demo in days, not weeks Modular Components – Mix and match building blocks for your specific application Production Quality – RDS elements are pre-validated and ready to integrate Developer Friendly – Save time, reduce risk, and focus on what matters
In the following sections, you’ll explore a series of common use cases where RidgeRun technologies can help solve real-world challenges and speed up development. Each use case is presented in a clear, structured format:
- An overview of the scenario, explaining the specific problem or application.
- A description of how the RidgeRun Development Suite (RDS) can be used to address it.
- A ready-to-run demo application that shows RidgeRun products in action.
- Step-by-step, easy-to-follow instructions—like a recipe—to help you build your own customized solution.
This hands-on approach helps you understand, test, and apply RidgeRun tools quickly and effectively to your own projects.
Our Recipes
Here are examples of how you can combine RDS components to build real-world systems quickly and effectively:
- 360° Situational Awareness: For applications like robotics, drones, or industrial automation that require full environmental awareness, RDS provides ready-to-use modules for multi-camera capture, stitching, and metadata integration. With components like the stitching engine, BEV visualization, and metadata injector, you can rapidly prototype systems capable of synthesizing multiple inputs into a single cohesive view.
- Modules used:
- Surround View & Driver Assistance: Automotive applications often demand a real-time surround-view system with perception capabilities. RDS offers components for camera ingestion, object detection, segmentation, and bird’s eye view generation. Combine these with low-latency streaming and display tools to build driver assistance or parking systems in record time—no need to start from scratch.
- Modules used:
- Remote Video Monitoring and Streaming: For remote inspection, surveillance, or industrial control, you can use RDS building blocks recording pipeline, and GUI overlay to rapidly set up a remote monitoring system. Whether you're building a drone-based inspection tool or a field-deployed video unit, these modules help you stream and interact with real-time data quickly and reliably.
- Modules used:
- Security, Video Intelligence, and Metadata Integration: RDS makes it easy to build smart security solutions that integrate analytics and metadata tagging. Use RidgeRun’s object detection and inference plugins, combined with synchronized recording and metadata overlay components, to create intelligent surveillance cameras and automated monitoring systems with minimal development time.
