  • Silicon Software (Mannheim, Germany) introduced a graphically oriented interface called VisualApplets that lets developers program machine-vision and image-processing functions on the companyÂ’s Xilinx (San Jose, CA, USA; www.xilinx.com) Spartan IIe-based microEnable III PCI Camera Link frame grabber.
  • dV dPict Imaging Unlike both Dalsa and Tattile, GigaLinx offers a number of boards that use a set of hardware building blocks, called vAtoms, that each perform a different machine-vision task. The board set communicates using a GigE switched-network architecture that provides DSP- or FPGA-based image processing, image capture, and memory capabilities. vAtom Krypton is a dual-DSP board that features two autonomous TI-C6414 DSPs running at up to 720 MHz that are connected to a switched GigE network through two GigE channels.
  • Antares Explorer IDE and Library

  • MVTec HALCON IDE and Library and ActiveX collection ActivVisionTools (Windows, Linux, Solaris) from MVTec Software GmbH
  • Neuro Check from NeuroCheck GmbH, Germany
  • Common Vision Blox, STEMMER IMAGING GmbH
    • compilers: Visual Basic, Visual C++, Borland Delphi and .Net-Environment including C#) or STEMMER IMAGING´s graphical user interface iTuition.
    • Two different technical platforms: Personal Computer or intelligent camera systems.
    • More than 30 CVB Tools are available, such as Search and Read-, Barcode-, Measurement-, Surface Inspection Tools
  • Xiris, Canada
  • Sapera from DALSA, Canada
    • filtering, geometry, measurement, morphology, point-to-point, segmentation, transform operations and sub-pixel edge detection.

    • Pattern finding algorithms utilize both correlation (area) and geometric (edge) based technologies to achieve accuracy up to 1/50th of a pixel. Designed to work under poor lighting conditions, with difficult to detect patterns or with rotated images.

    • 1 and 2-dimensional barcodes

    • Blob: calculates more than 50 spatial and gray scale blob features, including: area, location, perimeter, elongation, roundness, convexity, bounding box and orientation.

    • Today laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM) techniques use improved synthetic fluorescent probes and genetically engineered proteins, a wider spectrum of laser light sources coupled to highly accurate acousto-optic tunable filter control, and the combination of more advanced software packages with modern high-performance computers.
    • In a conventional widefield optical epi-fluorescence microscope, secondary fluorescence emitted by the specimen often occurs through the excited volume and obscures resolution of features that lie in the objective focal plane. The problem is compounded by thicker specimens (greater than 2 micrometers), which usually exhibit such a high degree of fluorescence emission that most of the fine detail is lost. Confocal microscopy provides only a marginal improvement in both axial (z; along the optical axis) and lateral (x and y; in the specimen plane) optical resolution, but is able to exclude secondary fluorescence in areas removed from the focal plane from resulting images. Even though resolution is somewhat enhanced with confocal microscopy over conventional widefield techniques, it is still considerably less than that of the transmission electron microscope. In this regard, confocal microscopy can be considered a bridge between these two classical methodologies.
