Data code reading easy, fast and reliable
With version 3.1 of its easy-to-use machine vision software ActivVisionTools, MVTec makes reading of data codes easier than ever.
Camera software provides interface upgrade
The speed of ActivVisionTools 3.2 has been significantly increased by using the SSE2 acceleration of the underlying Halcon 8.0 library.
ActivVisionTools can be integrated into any production process.
Tools such as ActivAlignment, ActivBarcode, ActivBlobFinder, ActivDataCode, ActivMeasure, ActivOCR are based on the established Halcon library for machine vision from MVTec.
As a result, ActivVisionTools is also reliable, fast and robust.
ActivVisionTools' open software architecture is extensible and scalable.
As soon as ActivVisionTools is installed on the Sony XCI-V3 smart camera, the camera functions as a PC for rapid development of machine vision applications.
A powerful image acquisition interface for the Sony XCI-V3 is already integrated in the ActivVisionTools software.
After the installation of ActivVisionTools on the camera that essentially works like a PC under Windows XP, the image acquisition can immediately start.
Because an external PC is not required, the use of smart cameras for quality and process control in industrial production applications is getting increasingly popular.
Smart cameras have direct communication interfaces.
Thus, the combination of the Sony XCI-V3 as a robust hardware and ActivVisionTools as highly reliable software offers a powerful all-round device for modern machine vision.
