Vision Pro 10 Improves GUI and Programming Flexibility
Handling object location, inspection, measurement, and identification problems


Cognex announced the release of VisionPro 10, its PC-based vision software for defect detection in the most challenging vision applications. The new release features SmartLine functionality and an improved GUI environment. It also includes updated ID tools, improved memory and resource management, integration with Cognex Deep Learning, and the addition of C# and C++ APIs.

Vision Pro 10 can handle object location, defect detection, measurement, and identification problems. Its intuitive GUI and extensive tool prototyping capabilities reduce custom application development time. Core features include hybrid smart tools and deep learning technology, utilizing rule-based, intelligent algorithms to deliver sub-pixel accuracy.

SmartLine, the first VisionPro smart tool, uses an intelligent algorithm to quickly find lines smaller than a pixel size and with high accuracy.

VisionPro 10 supports easy solution to challenging vision problems with its QuickBuild environment. QuickBuild provides a convenient GUI for configuring image acquisition, selecting and optimizing tools, and making pass/fail decisions without prior programming experience. Additionally, scripting features are integrated, and the modular 'ToolBlock' simplifies the development process by allowing components to be quickly created and reused.

PC-based VisionPro 10 facilitates deep learning integration. Users can link trained VisionPro deep learning workspaces within QuickBuild using a drag-and-drop interface, enabling integration with any VisionPro tool for pre- or post-processing. Integration into a collaborative development environment improves application deployment efficiency and supports the creation of customized solutions. Furthermore, in addition to the .NET programming interface (C# API), it also supports a C++ API.
