This means application developers only need to learn one consistent software environment, and can choose the most appropriate platform for their applications. 

Visionscape® machine vision software provides all of the elements required to develop and deploy machine vision applications. The software provides a point and click environment to develop, test, and install applications that can range from simple to sophisticated. Features include:

Auto ID Tools:  Decoding all standard linear barcodes, Data Matrix, and other symbols, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Verification (OCV), etc.

Image Processing Tools:  Image arithmetic, image rotation and warping, binary and grayscale morphology, edge enhancement, other image filtering, etc. 

Image Analysis Tools:  Flaw detection, histogram analysis, blob analysis, template and pattern recognition, object location and orientation detections, etc.

Calibrated Dimensional Measurements:  Variety of pre-configured measurements such as line intersection, point-to-point distance, point-to-line normal, etc.

Intellifind Tool:  Geometric pattern match tool for robust pattern location and pattern recognition in noisy images; includes scale measurement.

Color Support:  Color imaging, color visualization and other color tools allow color checking and identification applications. Color-based dimensional gauging applications are also possible.

Application Specific and Custom Tools:  User-defined expressions and math, custom scripted vision processing tools, etc.

FrontRunner:  FrontRunner engineering user interface enables quick and easy creation of complex vision applications that can be run on PC-based systems or downloaded to the Visionscape smart camera, depending on specific application needs.

AppRunner:  In the AppRunner standard runtime interface, the user is provided with complete system status, with abilities to start/stop the application, collect and review failed images, and present other diagnostic information.

Open ActiveX:  A complete set of ActiveX components allow the creation of custom user interfaces and creation of vision applications on the fly.

Customization:  From operators on the factory floor to application engineers and developers, Visionscape software offers a configuration environment that can be tailored to different users for maximum productivity.
