Scorpion VisionX™ goes 3D

Scorpion VisionX™ creates the most advanced, accurate and robust 2D and 3D OEM vision solutions.
We are proud to announce that Scorpion VisionX™ goes 3D. Scorpion VisionX is the best OEM solution for Scorpion Vision Software®. Scorpion VisionX™ is designed for OEMs and System Integrators who need to provide advanced and robust machine vision features.

Add 3D machine vision to any Windows Application
It has the unique capability that anyone can add 2D and 3D machine vision into any Windows application in a matter of minutes.

It is a 3D machine vision component revolution
Scorpion VisionX completely eliminates the need for programming. It has all functionalities required for an advanced machine vision, surveillance or automation solution, built in, and the main application simply has load the component and invoke it, using a simple and  well-documented interface.  This is nothing but a component 3D machine vision revolution.

Wide range of 2D and 3D application areas
Scorpion VisionX is used in a variety of 2D applications like Color Identification,  Assembly Verification,  Barcode Reading, OCR, OCV, High precision gauging and Label Verification as well as 3D applications like 3D Identification, 3D Assembly Verification, High precision 3D gauging, 3D Robot Vision, 3D Laser Triangulation and 3D Stereo Vision.

Supports USB, Firewire, GigE, CameraLink and 3D cameras
Scorpion VisionX supports all Sony, Basler, Point Grey, PixeLINK, Imaging Source, Allied Vision and Unibrain’s IEEE-1394 cameras. GigE support is provided for AVT Prosilica, Sony and Basler Area and linescan cameras. Scorpion also interfaces Sony’s SmartCam. Linescan cameras are supported through a CameraLink interface based on Matrox Mil 9.0 and their complete range of framegrabbers. 3D imaging and high speed laser triangulation are supported by using SICK 3D cameras. New cameras are continuously added to Scorpion VisionX.

3D imaging using two-sided laser triangulation
Thor Vollset CEO in Tordivel AS says “We see a great potential in 3D Imaging. With Scorpion VisionX we are able to create the most accurate 3D models using 3D laser triangulation. Scorpion VisionX supports laser triangulation using standard USB, Firewire or GigE cameras and the high-speed Sick 3D Camera. This flexibilty gives the OEM the choice to target unit cost, development cost,  speed or accuracy with Scorpion VisionX 3D.”

Scorpion VisionX is backed by a complete set of DIY tutorials
This release of Scorpion Vision Software is backed with an extensive set of DIY tutorials including 3D Stereo Vision, Using Sony SmartCam, Using Firewire Cameras, Getting started with Scorpion VisionX, Scorpion 3D laser triangulation and Scorpion 3D Monopose. This is significantly reducing the cost of developing an OEM application.

About Scorpion Vision Software®
Scorpion Vision Software® is an independent and open software tool for industrial vision. The library approach of making machine vision solutions is old-fashioned. PC-based rapid application development tools like Scorpion for 2D and 3D machine vision produce better and more reliable applications — five to 100 times faster from idea to working application than systems based on a standard library approach. Scorpion Vision Software gives the user the choice of a small form factor of an embedded PC, a Sony SmartCam or the power of a multicore PC. The system is founded on top of a standard Windows XP/Vista/7 PC platform. It is cost effective benefitting from the processing power of the multicore CPU, the low cost and high quality firewire, usb and GigE cameras and the possibility of connecting multiple cameras to one PC. Scorpion solves tasks within robot vision, label inspection, assembly verification, color identification and gauging.
