Matrox Imaging at Vision Stuttgart — Product Preview

MONTREAL, Quebec, 2 October 2018—Matrox® Imaging will be at Vision from November 6-8, in a larger-than-ever booth (1E17). Pass by to see the latest hardware and software for industrial imaging and machine vision applications.

 

This year’s focus is on the newest version of Matrox Design Assistant flowchart-based software, including new tools for image classification using deep learning and image registration using photometric stereo. These tools will illustrate inspection and OCR of hard-to-see text.

 

Paired with this software will be a Matrox Iris GTR smart camera and a Matrox 4Sight GPm vision controller with a GigE Vision® camera, demonstrating the extent of platform flexibility. Matrox Rapixo CXP—a CoaXPress® 2.0 frame grabber programmed using Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) software—will conduct high-speed video capture with a CXP area-scan camera. The newest vision controller, the Matrox 4Sight EV6, will likewise be on display.

An integrated development environment (IDE) for creating machine vision applications using a flowchart instead of traditional program code. Latest updates include new tools for image classification using deep learning, photometric stereo, dedicated shape finders, and native support for 3D sensors, amongst others.

A comprehensive software development kit (SDK) with tools for application feasibility to prototyping, development, and deployment. An interactive demo area will allow attendees to see the MIL CoPilot interactive environment for experimentation, prototyping, and code generation, as well as the latest advances in image classification using deep learning.

 

A fanless industrial computer based on an Intel® 7^th-generation Core™ processor and built for the factory floor. Multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports facilitate multi-camera inspections, while power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support helps simplify cabling.

 

A family of frame grabbers supporting the CXP 2.0 digital interface standard. A separate FPGA development kit (FDK) enables development of custom FPGA configurations to offload and accelerate image-processing functions from the host system.

A line of compact, capable smart cameras designed for tight spots and dirty industrial environments. Matrox Iris GTR offers software flexibility, pairing readily with the Matrox Design Assistant flowchart-based IDE or MIL SDK.

 

A comprehensive library of on-demand instructional material on how to use and deploy MIL and Matrox Design Assistant vision software. Designed to deconstruct complex topics into micro-learning modules, Matrox Vision Academy facilitates self-directed, just-in-time learning.

An offering of deeper technical assistance to help customers save valuable development time and deploy solutions more quickly. Services include personalized training, assessing project feasibility, application prototyping, troubleshooting, and debugging, and device interfacing.
