Version 2.2 of integrated software environment for machine vision applications combines software tools in one package and provides support for rapid application development using Net platform.

Analogic Computers and Eutecus have released the Instant Vision Integrated Software Environment (ISE) v2.2 for developing machine vision applications It makes available all the firm's software tools in one package

Added features in version 2.2 include improved performance, enhanced interfaces and better support for rapid application development using Microsoft's Net platform.

Csaba Rekeczky, CTO of Eutecus, said: "Instant Vision enables commercial users to develop rapidly and cost-effectively machine vision, security, surveillance and other vision applications using the powerful cellular visual technology (CVT) that Eutecus and Analogic developed to mimic closely human vision".

The image processing libraries include speed-enhanced versions of the standard vision tools offered by other vision software providers, as well as tools unavailable elsewhere.

The MTT Lib multi-target tracking library, developed in part with funding from several US government agencies, tracks multiple objects moving at high speeds with pinpoint accuracy, even in cluttered environments containing a great deal of other visual activity.

The other libraries include complex classification methods (FC Lib) as well as optimised processing of images and video streams (SI Lib and SIF Lib).

They run seamlessly with each other and with the MTT Lib to reduce the cost of developing machine vision applications.

Gusztav Bartfai, CEO of Analogic Computers, said: "Analogic's multi-target tracking capabilities in concert with the advanced features of the other libraries enable us to enter markets that have not yet embraced advanced vision technology".

"We have identified applications for our software in science and medicine, the entertainment industry, and traffic management".

Optimised for use on the firm's Bi-i family of smart cameras and other systems using Texas Instruments' TMS320C6400 DSPs, the software uses C++ running on Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio.

For quick profiling and less complicated tasks, Analogic provides an easy-to-learn proprietary programming tool.

The libraries can also be ported to various other platforms and vision systems.
