Intuitif

Glisser-déposer

Tout la programmation s’effectue en choisissant les filtres et en les connectant ensemble. Vous pourrez vous concentrer totalement à observer l’ordinateur.

Vous pouvez tout voir

Les résultats de l’inspection s’affichent dans des aperçus de données configurables et lorsqu’un paramètre du programme est changé, vous pouvez voir les aperçus mis à jour en temps réel.

HMI Designer

L’utilisation d’un seul progiciel permet de facilement créer des interfaces utilisateur graphiques et donc construire l’ensemble de l’application de vision industrielle.

Puissant

Plus de 1 000 filtres prêts à l’emploi

Il existe plus de 1 000 filtres prêts à l’emploi pour la vision industrielle, testés et optimisés dans des centaines d’applications. Ils sont dotés de nombreuses capacités avancées, comme la suppression des résultats aberrants, la précision des sous-pixels ou les régions d’intérêt de n’importe quelle forme.

Accélération matérielle

Les filtres sont résolument optimisés pour la technologie SSE et pour les processeurs multicœur. Nos applications comptent parmi les plus rapides au monde !

Boucles et Conditions

Sans écrire une seule ligne de code, vous pouvez créez des programmations personnalisées et évolutives. Les boucles, conditions et sous-programmes (macro-filtres) sont réalisés avec des constructions adéquates de flux de données de manière graphique.

Adaptable

Support GigE Vision et GenTL

FabImage Studio est un produit compatible avec GigE Vision, supportant l’interface GenTL, ainsi qu’un certain nombre d’API spécifiques au vendeur. Vous pouvez donc l’utiliser avec les caméras Opto Engineering® et la plupart des caméras disponibles sur le marché, y compris des modèles de Matrix Vision, Allied Vision, Basler, Baumer, Dalsa, PointGrey, Photon Focus et XIMEA et plus encore.

Filtres de l’utilisateur

Vous pouvez utiliser des filtres pour intégrer votre propre C/C++ avec les avantages de la programmation visuelle.

Générateur de code C++

Les programmes créés dans FabImage Studio peuvent être exportés à un code C++ ou à des ensembles .NET. Ceci facilite l’intégration de vos algorithmes de vision avec les applications créées dans les langages de programmation C++, C# ou VB.

FabImage Library Suite is a machine vision library for C++ and .NET programmers. It provides a comprehensive set of functions for creating industrial image analysis applications - from standard-based image acquisition interfaces, through low-level image processing routines, to ready-made tools such as template matching, measurements or barcode readers.

The main strengths of the product include the highest performance, modern design and simple structure making it easy to integrate with the rest of your code.

Features

Performance

In FabImage Library Suite careful design of algorithms goes hand in hand with extensive hardware optimizations, resulting in performance that puts the library among the fastest in the world. Our implementations make use of SSE instructions and parallel computations on multicore processors.

Modern Design

All types of data feature automatic memory management, errors are handled explicitly with exceptions and optional types are used for type-safe special values. All functions are thread- safe and use data parallelism internally, when possible.

Simplicity & Consistency

The library is a simple collection of types and functions, provided as a single DLL file with appropriate headers. For maximum readability functions follow consistent naming convention (e.g. the VERB + NOUN form as in: SmoothImage, RotateVector). All results are returned via reference output parameters, so that many outputs are always possible.

Fabimage studio pro

In this application, we need to sort nails amongst nuts and bolts. The image is thresholded and the resulting regions are split into blobs; finally, the blobs are classified by their elongation and the nails are easily found.

This example shows a basic ReadBarcodes filter. The tool automatically find the barcode and gives as output the decoded text.

License types

There are two types of commercial licenses:

development

assigned to a single engineer. It includes one year of technical support, which can be extended with an annual fee. Valid technical support also gives you the right to upgrade the software to newer versions and provides a discount on runtime licenses.

Quickstart guide to FabImage part numbers:

FabImage Studio Professional (FIS-PRO) makes it possible to create complete machine vision applications, including HMI. FabImage Studio Runtime (FIS-RUN/FIS-RTB) is required to run the applications on each inspection system.
FabImage Studio Professional (FIS-PRO) includes the feature of User Filters, which allows for embedding user’s C++ code within the graphical programming model. FabImage Library Suite, FIL-SUI (or the Studio + Library bundle, FIS-ADD) is only required, if one needs to invoke the built-in image analysis tools as C++ functions.
If you want to prototype applications in FabImage Studio Professional (FIS-PRO) and then transform them into C++ code, then you need FabImage Studio + Library bundle (FIS-ADD)
If the graphical programming environment for fast prototyping is not needed, then FabImage Library Suite (FIS-ADD) is enough for development.
In general, there are four possible ways to work with the products:

Programming in the graphical way – this requires an FabImage Studio Professional (FIS-PRO) for each developer and a FabImage Studio Runtime (FIS-PRO/FIS-RTB) for each system. One particular advantage of this method is the ease of introducing changes, even directly on the production line
Programming in the graphical way and then generating C++ code – this requires a FabImage Studio + Library bundle (FIS-ADD) for each developer and a FabImage Library Runtime (FIL-RUN/FIL-RTB) for each system. This method allows to integrate the created solutions with bigger software projects.
Programming in the graphical way and then generating .NET Macrofilter Interfaces – this requires FabImage Studio Professional (FIS-PRO) for each developer and a FabImage Studio Runtime (FIS-RUN/FIS-RTB) for each system. No library license is needed as .NET Macrofilter Interfaces use the same program execution mechanisms as Studio.
Programming directly in C++ or .NET – this is for people who think in C++ or C# and do not want to do graphical programming. In this case an FabImage Library Suite (FIL-SUI) is required for each developer and a FabImage Library Runtime (FIL-RUN/FIL-RTB) for each system.
