COMMON VISION BLOX

CVB 2017 brings enhancements to some existing CVB tools in the Windows environment as well as new capabilities.

The following CVB tools offer new functionality:

• CVB Image Manager and CVB CameraSuite

  • A new device query interface allows discovery of GenICam camera without a configuration file as well as non-streaming GenICam devices such as strobe controllers. It also allows users to query the installed drivers for non-GenICam devices.
  • New tutorials and source code for parallelisation have been added.
  • Automatic licencing of CameraSuite via the internet eases set-up
  • The GenICam grid now supports WPF for cleaner, more modern user interfaces.

• CVB Polimago pattern recognition has been optimised to improve learning and runtime speeds up to a factor of two.

• CVB GigE Vision Server now supports RGBA, BGRA and BGR colour-plane formats.

New functionality for CVB 2017 in Windows includes:

• CVB ShapeFinder 64-bit
  With simple, one-touch training, this brings the highest level of sub-pixel accuracy to searches. It is robust to changes in illumination, rotation and scale and can cope with partly covered or damaged objects.

• Textout 64-bit
  This allows destructive text overlays for image archiving.

• Unicode support
  This allows the use of non-Western characters for labels, class-names and filenames etc in many areas of CVB.

• There is also a new logging infrastructure for the GenICam interface to support complex debugging requirements into a common console.
