The system can be used also for a multi-inspection system, where each sensor is pointed to a different area of a product. With the EyeVison Software it is easy to carry out measurement and inspection tasks on one sensor and a surface inspection or any kind of code reading on another sensor. In addition it is just as easily possible to carry out a measurement on all sensors, so that a world coordinate system can be spanned over all sensors and measurements in this total image can be issued.
The image stitching algorithms of the EyeVision can run on the DSP, so that it is possible to deliver a stitched image to the ARM with the sensor frame rate. The evaluation algorithms can run on the ARM with full speed.
The powerful algorithms of the EyeVision Software, which are in use for a wide variety of industries, allow the user to create fast machine vision solutions. With this new hardware, the possibilities to create a solution with an embedded system or a smart camera increased. In most cases where a PC was used due to the need of more than one camera can be solved with this new hardware and the well tested EyeVision software.
