Greetings!

For the latest in products for image processing and machine vision in North America, Digital Network Vision supplies a wide range of USB cameras, smart cameras, Gigabit Ethernet cameras, frame grabbers, and integrated machine vision software.

The mvDELTAe from MATRIX VISION joins the mvHyperion-CLe and the mvSIGMA_SQe family of PCI Express frame grabbers.

The mvDELTA has distinguished itself as a cost- effective solution in its price class. It is characterized by high quality and functionality. The new PCI Express model extends the mvDELTA family. The advantages of the PCI Express are: Each component ? whether PCI Express card or onboard (e.g. sound and LAN) ? can work with the full bandwidth of 250 Mbytes/s. For this reason multiple mvDELTAe cards can be used in one system without transfer bottlenecks. The image processing board itself represents an elegant solution for almost all image digitization applications, e.g. in quality assurance, surveillance systems, microscopy and medical engineering. The ability to disablable AGC function (automatic gain controller) means that specific applications are now viable as unwanted fluctuations in brightness are eliminated. The launch of the mvDELTAe is planned for the first quarter 2007.

Since May 1st, 2006 there has been a consistent deposit system for cans and disposable beverages packaging in Germany. With its components and know how MATRIX VISION GmbH was in the thick of the realization.

At the turn of the millennium, it was the current opinion, that image processing would be too expensive for a deposit system. Six years later image processing became accepted economically and represents the central unit for a reliable and robust system for receiving disposable beverage packaging. Although system and requirements changes had to made in short time, since May 1 st , 2006 cans and disposable beverages packagings can be received Germany wide in a consistent deposit system. With its components and knowhow MATRIX VISION GmbH was in the thick of the realization.

With the new mvRapidIMPACT workbench, MATRIX VISION provides for a quick and easy generation of prototypes or complete image processing applications. Two building blocks of the mvRapidIMPACT software package provide the basis: the Tasks and Connectors. Tasks are predefined actions of an arbitrary complexity. They are organized as a list. Using this approach gives you the freedom to define the granularity of the tasks: low-level tasks will correspond to calls of basic image processing operators such as 'erode image'. High level tasks can be used to achieve a global goal such as 'read DataMatrix code'. Output parameters of a Task are directed to input parameters of the next, creating data bindings between them. Connectors can be described as input/output devices to expose parameters and allow modifying them via a user interface.

Let us partner with you on your imaging application.
