B&R introduces advanced vision functions for smarter image processing

B&R provides five enhanced vision functions that simplify image processing, allowing automation programmers to easily deploy sophisticated vision tools while boosting precision, flexibility, and efficiency in machine applications.

B&R vision functions carry out specialised image processing duties, either separately in a vision sensor or in a series of functions in a smart camera. The new vision functions make it simple for automation programmers to configure advanced vision functionality and incorporate the results into machine applications by enclosing complex HALCON program code in an easy-to-use interface. The Simple Matching function is easier to train because it has fewer argument options. When a picture is learnt directly from the application, it becomes an alternative to the edge-based standard matching algorithm. The Clutter Matching function allows you to designate an area within or surrounding a matching hit where no clutter is permitted, which is useful in pick-and-place applications.

The Calibration function corrects inaccuracies caused by perspective or optical distortion by converting pixel values to metric values. These are required for metric data obtained from a camera or for precise subpixel range measurement. The Image Manipulation tool allows you to apply filters and manipulate images for purposes like reading curved letters. The Simple Logic and Mathematics function allows the intermediate results of one or more vision functions to be utilised directly on the camera to control subsequent image processing processes. These five new vision functions make image processing more adaptable and efficient than ever.
