Release Version 2.2 of the
“mvIMPACT Configuration
Studio”, or mvIMPACT-CS for
short, has been issued; it comes
with a cascade of new features
and is now also available for use
on a PC.
Until now, users of the
mvBlueGEMINI smart camera
could only use mvIMPACT-CS
to perform the full range of
inspection tasks in a visual,
quick and cost-effective manner
if they possessed programming
expertise and knowledge of
image processing. Using the
PC version and with the help of
wizards, inspections can now
also be simply and intuitively
performed using PC and GigE
Vision and USB3 Vision-
compatible industrial cameras
as a basis. This user group can
therefore now also look forward
to the guarantee of a quick and
trouble-free entry into the world
of industrial image processing
With the new “HALCON Script”
tool, which is available as an
option, it is now possible to
load and execute HALCON
scripts in mvIMPACT-CS. Here
it does not matter whether
mvIMPACT-CS runs on the
Smart Camera or on a PC.
Last but not least, the new
release includes two additional
expert tools. While the “Filter
image” tool makes it possible
to optimize the image quality,
under sub-optimal lighting
conditions, for example, the
“Check blobs” tool allows the
user to detect objects in the
image, count them and check
the shape and other properties
of those objects.
