Foundation package allows entry to modular CVB
Version 9.0 is the extended basic system - 'Foundation Package' - which makes it easier to enter the modular world of CVB, and enables the user to solve a whole range of applications.
Modular vision cameras easily exchanged
The Accupixel range from Pulnix is a family of Cameralink cameras that benefit from an extremely modular design, allowing for easy exchange of camera models should the application require it.

The new JAI CV-A10/A70 CL monochrome/colour cameralink camera series from JAI is the successor to the JAI CV-M10.
The toolkit enables any Genicam - compliant camera to be interfaced with CVB.
GenICam is a central software interface for controlling the camera.
With CVB, a developer can now interface to virtually any type of camera as the same application programming interface (API) can be used to connect either to traditional frame grabbers from a variety of manufacturers or to interface to USB, IEEE1394 (Firewire) and GigE vision format cameras.
Unlike many software-only products, said Firstsight Vision to manufacturingtalk.com, CVB also supports advanced acquisition capabilities to ensure a robust and validated acquisition.
This is essential when developing on-line inspection systems.
CVB's tool set includes the normal tools found in most packages but it also includes novel facilities such as 'manto'.
Manto recognition enables a linear output of the classification engine based on teaching of a number of sample points along a linearly changing product feature, and is one of the only tools to be able to reliably classify objects with organic fluctuations in their form.
Applications include the differentation of male and female faces, identification of defects in surface textures and the differentation of fruit types. Request a free brochure from Firstsight Vision ...
