Sony SmartCam running Scorpion Vision Software® is shipping

In close cooperation with Sony, Scorpion Vision Software® is integrated into the XCI-SX1 SmartCam.

Combining the high resolution images with Scorpion’s world class gauging tools makes the basis for high precision gauging and object location applications.

Clear monochrome images are captured by the advanced 1/2" type IT CCD sensor at 1280x1024 SXGA resolution. Vertical and Horizontal binning reduces image size to 640 x 512 and improves image quality. A full version of the Scorpion Vision Software®, running on top of the Windows XP Embedded operating system, processes the images in real time inside the camera.

The Sony SmartCam running Scorpion Vision Software® is especially well suited for robot vision applications. The camera is directly mounted to the robot communicating over RS-232 or tcp/ip.

The Scorpion Vision Software® used in SmartCam is the same software as used in advanced PC based vision systems. This makes an eventual upgrade quick and easy. Multiple SmartCams are maintained over tcp/ip from a PC running the Scorpion Maintenance software.

Scorpion Vision Software 4.3 is available

Scorpion Vision Software 4.3 is a result of our continuous development to help vision engineers making faster, more reliable and advanced machine vision application.

Combining Scorpion Pattern Finding with Sony SmartCam provides exciting possibilities in Robot Vision

Automotive casting parts are located reliably with mm accuracy. This is the result of 6th order lens calibration, adaptive thresholds, redundant six point robot calibration, robust and sub-pixel object location resolving scale, rotation and perspective. Based on mutiple reference systems and the field proven Scorpion tools: Calibrator, ExternalReference TemplateFinder3 and PolygonMatch.

Feature Classification - Classifier Tool

The most important new feature in 4.3 is feature classification found in the new Classifier tool. The Classifier tool is a very powerful alternative to boolean business logic. With the classifier tool general purpose identification tools are easy to develop. 

Adaptive Tresholding in EdgeFinders

Other important features are dynamic thresholds for trace lines improving edge detection in PolygonMatch, LineFinder2, TemplateFinder3 and PolyLineEdgeFaults2.

Higher Inspection Rates

New Fast Mode reduces overhead in inspection system with high inspection rate.
