VC LibQ based on Halcon for fast application development with embedded vision systems


The new software library simplifies the implementation of image processing applications


P


re-programmed machine vision functions make work easier for software developers and significantly shorten the time to market. Vision Components therefore now also offers its Linux- based VC Z series embedded vision systems with an extensive software library. VC LibQ contains more than 300 functions developed by the manufacturer for all common image processing tasks. In addition, all


capabilities of MVTec's Halcon software are also part of the package. The algorithms are specially tailored to embedded systems from Vision Components. All functions are thoroughly time-tested, as versions of these software products have been successfully used for more than 20 years.


The full VC LibQ package covers a wide range of applications including optical character recognition and


verification (OCR/OCV), 3-D image processing, measurement and inspection, blob analysis, color image processing, hyperspectral imaging, morphology, and motion analysis. OEMs can also purchase dedicated packages for their specific applications: code reading, OCR, pattern recognition, or the combined package code reading + OCR. After purchase of the software, there are no additional license fees.


IEEE publishes standard addressing real-time architecture for embedded systems IEEE 2050TM-2018 specifies a real-time operating system (OS) for 16 and


32 bit microprocessors deployed throughout the IoT ecosystem I


EEE, the world's largest technical professional organisation dedicated to advancing technology for humanity, and the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA), have announced the publication and availability of IEEE 2050-2018 - Standard for Real-time Operating System (OS) for Small-scale Embedded Systems. The new standard follows an agreement announced last November that transferred ownership of the TRON µT-Kernel 2.0 to IEEE-SA and that provided a license to TRON Forum for use of the intellectual property. “It’s rewarding to see collaborative efforts result in globally-recognized technical standards that help advance technology for humanity,” says Konstantinos Karachalios, managing director for the IEEE-SA. “The TRON architecture now realized as an IEEE standard exemplifies how working together we can further promote open innovation frameworks that will shape technologies for the future.”


IEEE 2050 is anticipated to greatly expand development and global utilization of the specification already sourced by more than 12,000 licensed IoT manufacturers and others worldwide. “The standardisation of the TRON real-time


architecture for embedded systems specification as an IEEE Standard represents the culmination of close

collaboration between the TRON Forum, IEEE Standards Association and IEEE Consumer Electronics Society,” says Stephen Dukes, chair of the IEEE P2050 working group and vice chair of the IEEE Consumer Electronics Standards Committee. “This illustrates the dynamic structure of the IEEE Standards Association to foster and establish standards for rapidly developing technologies.” The TRON Project, launched in 1984 by Dr Ken Sakamura, aims to build an open architecture for embedded systems. Rather than imposing a closed ecosystem of hardware and software requirements, its founders have defined a set of interfaces that ensure broad interoperability between the various devices supplied by different vendors.


Dr Ken Sakamura, chair of TRON Forum, states, "I am very happy to see the RTOS standard, which has been polished ever since the 1980s when it was first created, is now adopted as IEEE standard. The OS based on the specification has been used globally in many consumer electronics and other products and is the best fit for lightweight IoT edge nodes.” IEEE 2050 is available for purchase at the IEEE Standards Store.
