New Machine Vision Capabilities
POSTED 03/22/2010
National Instruments has announced the addition of machine vision capabilities to NI CompactRIO and NI Single-Board RIO hardware devices that provide engineers with an integrated measurement and control platform for industrial and embedded systems. With this integrated platform solution, CompactRIO becomes one of the only programmable automation controllers (PACs) on the market to perform vision tasks, providing an efficient, all-in-one design with a small physical footprint and low system complexity.
With the addition of machine vision, engineers can use CompactRIO and Single-Board RIO devices in a variety of advanced measurement and control applications. It is well suited for autonomous and semi-autonomous robotics applications for obstacle avoidance, pattern recognition and simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM), where advanced control and vision functionality are required. Industrial surveillance applications served include both machine condition monitoring and critical vessel monitoring, when connectivity to infrared cameras is vital. Finally, the realtime OS and integrated field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) used with both CompactRIO and Single-Board RIO eases the process of validation for embedded medical devices.
Machine vision systems consist of two parts: image acquisition and image processing. To acquire images, NI vision acquisition software has expanded to support Internet Protocol (IP) cameras, including those from Basler Vision Technologies. In addition to native IP camera support, National Instruments’ alliance partner moviMED has released the AF-1501 analog frame grabber for NI C Series products that can acquire monochrome images. To process images, engineers can now program and deploy image processing libraries to CompactRIO and Single-Board RIO targets with LabVIEW 2009 graphical system design using the NI Vision Development Module 2009 software, which contains hundreds of image processing and machine vision functions.
