該軟件包括新型 SearchMaxTM 和 ColorExtractorTM 顏色工具。SearchMax 利用顏色特性搜尋目標(biāo),該工具在幾何要素不足以定位工件的應(yīng)用中顯示出極其強(qiáng)大的功能。ColorExtractor 能夠在復(fù)雜場(chǎng)景中定位彩色區(qū)域,只需最基本的培訓(xùn)即可進(jìn)行操作。該工具針對(duì)食品和包裝業(yè)等所需的高速應(yīng)用進(jìn)行了優(yōu)化處理。
此外,新發(fā)布的軟件還可為圖像過(guò)濾工具以及PatMax® 和 PatInspectTM提供多核支持??蛻艨墒謩?dòng)調(diào)節(jié)內(nèi)核的使用方式,或者不管可用核數(shù)的多少,僅依靠操作系統(tǒng)獲得最佳應(yīng)用速度。
VisionPro 5.2 還能夠簡(jiǎn)化從任何成像來(lái)源的讀取。現(xiàn)在,不管是任何板卡組合還是直接與攝像頭連接,均可用于單個(gè)應(yīng)用。一月份發(fā)布的讀取聯(lián)盟計(jì)劃通過(guò)主要攝像頭供應(yīng)商為客戶提供最佳集成機(jī)器視覺(jué)解決方案。

[b][align=center]NEW RELEASE FOR COGNEX HARDWARE-INDEPENDENT
VISION SOFTWARE[/align][/b]
Optimization for multicore PCs and other enhancements make VisionProTM software a smart choice
Cognex Corporation (NASDAQ - CGNX), the world‘s leading supplier of machine vision systems and vision sensors, announces new software expanding the powerful toolset of its hardware-independent VisionPro software. The VisionPro 5.2 release, provides an easier to use version of the patented PatMax® technology, enhanced color tools and an enhanced architecture to harness the power of multicore PCs.
The release includes new SearchMaxTM and ColorExtractorTM color tools. SearchMax uses color features to search for objects. It is extremely powerful in applications where geometrical data is insufficient to align the part. ColorExtractor locates colored regions in complex scenes, with very minimal training . It is optimized for high speed applications such as those required in the food and packaging industries.
Additionally, the new release includes multicore support for image filtering tools as well as for PatMax® and PatInspectTM. Customers can manually adjust the way cores are used, or rely on the operating system to get the best application speed regardless of the number of cores available.
VisionPro 5.2 also simplifies the acquisition from any imaging source. Now any combination of frame grabbers or direct connect cameras can be used in a single application. The Acquisition Alliance program, announced in January, provides Cognex customers with best-in-class, integrated machine vision solutions through access to major camera vendors.
“This latest VisionPro release continues to make ease-of-use for the customer a priority,” said Markku Jaaskelainen, Executive Vice President and Vision Software Business Unit Manager. “Optimizing for multicore systems, enhancing color vision tools and adding tools to help in complex applications, show the Cognex commitment to provide the most comprehensive vision software product on the market for all users.”
