The latest release of the easy-to-use ActivVisionTools software from MVTec includes support for Sony's new XCI-V3smart camera.

The latest release of the easy-to-use ActivVisionTools software from MVTec includes support for Sony's new XCI-V3smart camera ActivVisionTools is the result of MVTec's expert knowledge in machine vision: a quick and efficient application creator with an easy-to-use graphical interface

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.
