Vision Development Module 8.5

The Vision Development Module is a comprehensive library of image processing and machine vision functions for multiple programming languages, including NI LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI, as well as Microsoft C, C++, Visual Basic and .NET. An improved edge-detection algorithm and support for new 2-D codes allow machine designers to more efficiently enhance images, check for presence, locate features, identify objects and measure parts. Engineers can reliably find edges at 1/25 or better pixel accuracy and offer improved reliability in images with noise, a 10 times improvement in accuracy over the previous method. The module provides enhanced support for the entire NI vision hardware platform and offers improved 2-D code recognition. It also includes Vision Assistant Express and Vision Acquisition Express VIs.
