Software
InfiniVision FPGA-based framework Gidel has launched InfiniVision, a customisable FPGA-based framework. The InfiniVision system was developed to address the core challenges of a multi-camera, multi-sensor system, mainly the capacity for high-speed acquisition, synchronisation, real-time image processing, and efficient data storage, recording and playback. The solution includes multi-camera frame grabbing and image processing flow with an offload engine to the host computer; ISPs and data control IP blocks; and customisation of interface, protocol, data flow and image processing.
The entire development flow is supported by
Gidel’s ProcDev kit development application, which is designed to facilitate and accelerate development on FPGAs.

Matrox Design Assistant X Matrox Imaging has released Matrox Design Assistant X, the latest edition of its flowchart- based vision application software. This integrated development environment lets developers build intuitive flowcharts instead of writing traditional program code. The update includes a
classification tool based on deep learning, specifically convolutional neural networks, to categorise images of highly textured, naturally varying and acceptably deformed goods. All inference is performed on a mainstream CPU, eliminating
the dependence on third-party neural network libraries and the need for GPU hardware. A new registration tool features photometric stereo technology, which creates a composite image from a series of images taken with light coming in from different directions. Creation of these images uses directional illumination light controllers, such as the Light Sequence Switch from CCS, LED Light Manager from Smart Vision Lights, or other similar products. This composite image emphasises surface irregularities, such as embossed
interfacing with third-party 3D sensors. Initially, the software will support LMI Gocator line profilers and snapshot sensors, and Photoneo PhoXi scanners, with other scanner options to be added in the future.
or engraved features, scratches or indentations.
Matrox Design Assistant X also makes it possible to capture and process depth-map data by
Other updates and additions include multiple run-times for running multiple independent projects simultaneously on the same platform; dedicated shape- finding tools for locating circles, ellipses, rectangles, and line segments; and the addition of a code-grading step.

OLED panel controller Gardasoft has launched an OLED panel controller. OLED panels have benefits in machine vision applications because they give stable and uniform light intensity
across the width of the panel. The controllers can drive OLED panels to the limits of their physical capabilities, resulting in fast, accurate and stable light pulses. Gardasoft OLED lighting
32 Imaging and Machine Vision Europe • December 2018/Janaury 2019
controllers are compatible with the CCS range of OLED panels. The controllers have access to product-specific data stored in the panel. This provides plug-and-play capability, ensures that the panel
can be overdriven without risk of damage, and gives dependable end-of-life management. Built-in Triniti technology provides Ethernet communication.
