Montreal, Quebec. Matrox Imaging announced it will exhibit at The Vision Show from April 10 to 12 in Boston, showcasing the latest hardware and software for industrial-imaging and machine-vision applications. The show lineup will include the Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) 10 SDK, recently updated to include deep-learning convolutional-neural-network (CNN) technology, and Matrox Design Assistant 5.1, the newest version of the flowchart-based integrated development environment (IDE) software. Matrox Imaging will also debut two new frame grabbers: a Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)-capable add-in card and a board for the CoaXPress (CXP) version 2.0 standard.
Here are some details of the featured products:
- MIL 10 is a comprehensive collection of software tools for developing machine-vision applications. The MIL 10 Processing Pack 3 software update features a CPU-based image classification module, which makes use of deep-learning technology. MIL 10 also includes the addition of a photometric stereo tool to bring out hard-to-spot surface anomalies and a new dedicated tool to locate rectangular features.
- Matrox Design Assistant 5.1 is an IDE for Windows where vision applications are created by constructing an intuitive flowchart instead of writing traditional program code. Matrox Design Assistant 5.1, the latest software version, includes new tools such as Project Change Validator—a modification-proofing utility that ensures machine vision systems uphold inspection requirements following project updates—as well as optimizations to SureDotOCR, the dot-matrix OCR tool that improves both reading speed and robustness.
Also this year at The Vision Show, Matrox Imaging will be introducing two new frame grabbers, one a multi-port GbE PoE-capable network interface card (NIC) and the other a board supporting the CXP version 2.0 standard. These new additions further extend the capabilities of a comprehensive frame grabber line-up.
