Fisher Smith are pleased to announce that Vision Components' VCLib with more than 300 image processing functions is free-of-charge

Ettlingen – Powerful software is the perfect companion for intelligent cameras – that's why every Vision Components embedded system is bundled with VCLib free of charge. This software library has been specially tailored to industrial and non-industrial image processing applications and is suitable for all VC Smart Cameras. Comprising software expertise gathered in more than 30 years in the field of image processing, VCLib offers a unique combination of algorithms optimized for VC’s embedded systems that have been tried and tested in more than 120,000 industrial installations. Users can employ more than 300 VCLib functions free of charge – without any additional costs for run-time licenses or other fees. The extensive software library contains all standard image processing routines as well as ready-to-use algorithms for a number of inspection tasks (e.g. color processing, diverse filter routines and pattern matching).

VCLib is designed to facilitate further in-house user programming and development based on the existing code. All standard code types are supported, as is quick and effective FPGA code compilation or translation. The integrated VC Barcode Reader tool reliably recognizes bar codes in any orientation. VCLib enables, for example, correlation with sub-pixel accuracy for the inspection of printed materials and includes filter functions, edge detection functions, geometric transformation functions, a debug function, and more. The user-friendly debug screen displays images from various instances in the development phase. VCLib also enables hardware color conversion from the Bayer pattern, which ensures much faster rendering. A rectangle finder function based on Hough transformation allows users to quickly identify shapes such as vehicle license plates. Functions for contour detection and edge detection with sub-pixel accuracy are also provided. The VCLib documentation, which includes extensive explanations and samples, is now online available at www.vision-components.com/docu.
