For his graduation project, Stijn developed a machine vision algorithm that can automatically detect wear on diamond bits. These bits are used in the production of contact lenses and must function with extremely high precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, chisel wear is assessed afterward and often subjectively. The algorithm developed by Stijn uses image analysis via a simple USB camera and can distinguish between contamination, noise, and actual wear. This leads to a more objective assessment, lower maintenance costs, and higher product quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icdrachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.ICD-Award-Stijn1-scaled.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"13733\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icdrachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.ICD-Award-Stijn1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icdrachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.ICD-Award-Stijn1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.icdrachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.ICD-Award-Stijn1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.icdrachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.ICD-Award-Stijn1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.icdrachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.ICD-Award-Stijn1-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.icdrachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.ICD-Award-Stijn1-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.icdrachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.ICD-Award-Stijn1-16x12.jpeg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icdrachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.ICD-Award-Stijn2-scaled.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"13734\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icdrachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.ICD-Award-Stijn2-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icdrachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.ICD-Award-Stijn2-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.icdrachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.ICD-Award-Stijn2-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.icdrachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.ICD-Award-Stijn2-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.icdrachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.ICD-Award-Stijn2-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.icdrachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.ICD-Award-Stijn2-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/www.icdrachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.ICD-Award-Stijn2-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The jury awarded him first prize of \u20ac1,500.
