LMI releases version 4.1 of its HexSight software
LMI Technologies Inc (LMI) of Delta, British Columbia, Canada, has announced that it has released version 4.1 of its HexSight software. Further support for colour image-processing and hardware acceleration has been added and it now also supports Sony Intelligent Cameras.
"HexSight 4.1 is a first-class recognition and metrology library suitable for deployment on PCs and now embedded platforms such as the Sony Intelligent camera product line," commented Terry Arden, Chief Executive Officer, LMI Technologies.
HexSight geometric pattern recognition technology offers flexible and reliable contour-based identification of objects unaffected by scale, orientation, lighting, occlusion, clutter, contrast reversal, or even subtle colour variation, says the firm. After finding objects, HexSight delivers a flexible set of metrology tools to measure parts and confirm that they meet key tolerances.
To maximise the capabilities of the software, HexSight 4.1 incorporates a wide range of third-party camera and frame-grabber support. The latest release adds support for fully compliant GigE Vision cameras - adding to the current capability to work with any IEEE 1394 (Firewire) and USB camera that uses a DirectShow driver.
LMI says that HexSight 4.1 is ideal for a vast array of machine-vision challenges, including road-sign detection; solar-wafer inspection; shirt-tag location and analysis; optical character recognition; brake-pad inspection; and part sorting and sizing.
A trial version of the software can be downloaded from the company's Web-site at the address given below.
