Smart Cameras in industrial image processing

Thanks to their built-in intelligence, Smart Cameras can replace fully-fledged PC systems in a wide range of industrial applications. Equipped with high-performance processors, they are suitable for use as stand-alone image processing systems in demanding applications, such as measuring tasks and quality checks. Moreover, the compact devices offer new integration possibilities for machine and plant designers, thereby reducing costs.
The Smart Cameras can be freely programmed in C and C++

Programming

The smart cameras can be freely programmed to suit your application in C/C++
Applications are programmed in an integrated development environment on a PC.
A comprehensive and highly optimised image processing library, VCLIB, is provided free of charge
Other industry standard libraries can be used for example, Open CV and Halcon
Vision Components also regularly offers introductory seminars on programming and image processing basics. Additionally, internet tutorials are available at www.vision-components.com.
