Image processing made easy – and flexible for your project
With pylon vTools, you benefit from precise image processing and analysis, high processing speeds, and optimum compatibility with our vision products, such as industrial cameras, frame grabbers, and lighting systems. Increase your productivity and efficiency without any programming effort and take advantage of the flexible deployment options. Whether in quality control, automation, or research – pylon vTools reliably support you in the implementation of your projects.
Easily create image processing designs
A data flow can be defined for each pylon vTool in order to output the desired information (such as the decoded barcode or the position of the detected object). For this purpose, image processing designs are graphically built using drag-and-drop. The entire image processing pipeline can be tested directly on the live image and optimized if necessary.
One picture – all the information you need
pylon vTools provide a range of functions that can be easily combined to address complex and unique machine vision tasks. By using drag-and-drop to add, rearrange the variable order, and connect the tools, you can achieve the desired output: the information extracted from the captured image.
Prototype test of the image processing pipeline without programming
The image processing prototype and the entire pipeline, including image acquisition, run directly into the pylon software. They can be tested, reviewed, and fine-tuned on the live image without needing to be deployed to the target application. By adjusting various parameters of the pylon vTools, you can ensure they interact optimally for each specific application. This enables you to quickly and easily achieve optimal performance and accuracy, resulting in a faster time-to-market with fewer errors.
Easy integration of image processing designs into the target application
Built image processing designs can be saved as recipes (= building instructions). With the help of the Recipe Code Generator function, sample code can be easily created, which enables quick integration into the target application using our standardized APIs. The recipe concept provides complete flexibility, allowing saved recipes to be easily modified in the pylon Viewer or adjusted directly in the code at runtime using pylon APIs.
