Release 6.0 of VisionPro hardware-independent vision software from Cognex adds support for very large camera images and nonconventional sources. In addition, VisionPro 6.0 offers calibration and image correction for line-scan cameras and expanded ID reading capability for 2-D codes.
The image-acquisition system in VisionPro 6.0 has been enhanced to accommodate images up to 16 bits in depth, which enables the use of sources such as of 3-D profilers, thermal cameras, and x-ray imagers. Built-in compatibility with selected thermal cameras and 3-D profile scanners ensures rapid integration with VisionPro. Release 6.0 also works with Microsoft 64-bit operating systems, which allows it to accommodate larger cameras and greater pixel depth. What's more, VisionPro's framework lets you switch seamlessly between 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
Another new feature of VisionPro is the addition of a high-accuracy calibration tool for use with line-scan cameras. A single calibration-board image is sufficient to correct camera distortion and camera displacements, such as rotation and tilt.
Finally, Vision Pro's ID symbol reader now reads 2-D codes up to 144x144 and supports the development of GS1 conforming applications.
