Before diving into the reviews of some of the best machine vision products in the market today, here's a quick view of what machine vision technology is and its role in the industrial sector.

Machine vision technology is a component that allows industrial equipment to "see" its actions and decide based on what it is "seeing." The most common applications of this kind of tech include visual inspection, defect detection, positioning and measuring parts, sorting and tracking products. With these functions, automation is made possible in various industrial settings.

Businesses that use industrial machinery and equipment need quality machine vision software to enhance product quality, streamline and speed up production and make manufacturing and logistics much more efficient. Thankfully, brands like Euresys commit themselves to making innovative machine vision software and related products to provide industries with cutting-edge solutions to respond to growing and changing industry demands.

Here is a look at some of Euresys' most outstanding machine vision products expected to change the landscape of industries this year.

Open eVision Libraries

Euresys remains a top-notch brand when it comes to image analysis and software tools. Their image processing and analysis libraries are hardware-independent and designed for advanced machine vision inspection applications. One of the best things that make their libraries stand out is they work compatibly with any type of image source, including GigE Vision and USB3 Vision cameras. They also support the latest available techs like Deep Learning and 3D.

Image analysis functions are simply impeccable, thanks to their accurate sub-pixel measurement and calibration. Most importantly, they are very user-friendly. Users will get the hang of it quickly and use its tools to their full potential in no time. While some other products out there can be as flexible as Euresys', it is safe to say that when it comes to being a robust and powerful tool for industrial automation, this one is a tough contender.

EasyClassify

EasyClassify is one powerful and promising product under the Open eVision Libraries. It is not your typical Deep Learning classification library; it includes features that allow for classifier training and image classification. The product does well in detecting defective products and sorting them into different classes. EasyClassify also supports data augmentation. It works with as few as 100 training images per class. In addition, it is compatible with CPU and GPU processing. It's incredibly easy to use, as well.

EasySegment

EasySegment is another excellent Deep Learning segmentation library that stands out from the rest of its league. It has two modes: unsupervised and supervised. Its unsupervised mode trains only with "good" images to spot and segment anomalies and defects in new images. In supervised mode, the tool learns a model of the defects to allow more efficient segmentation and detection precision. Another plus point is that it works with any image resolution.

Open eVision Studios

When it comes to evaluation and prototyping applications, Euresys proves to be a force to be reckoned with. Its Open eVision Studio is known for its intuitive graphical user interface and lets users call and see eVision's 2D image processing function results right away. A scripting feature allows it to create the corresponding code that can be copied and pasted into the application. It also has advanced functionality that allows for the interactive creation of templates for EasyMatch and EasyFind and manages EasyOCR and EasyOCR2 font databases — a great feature for large-scale applications.

For new users, there is no need to fret about operating them since there are Quick Start tutorials and a Getting Started Guide included.

Yet one of the best things about this tool is users can have it for free when using Open eVision 2.0 and succeeding versions. All it takes is to download and install Open eVision Studio, which comes with images, manuals and sample programs for painless and effective use.

Open eVision Deep Learning Studio

This is an application that gives users great assistance when creating datasets and when training and testing Open eVision's Deep Learning tools. This incredibly helpful tool is also free, and it does not require any license to operate. Users can test the Deep Learning libraries with their own images too. More importantly, no complicated and complex programming is needed to get its full benefits.

Open eVision 3D Studio

This Open eVision application is designed to significantly simplify the configuration of single and dual 3D laser line inspection systems through the use of Coaxlink Quad 3D-LLE frame grabber, as well as the Easy 3D and Easy3DLaserLine libraries. Similar to Open eVision's Deep Leaning Studio, 3D Studio is free of charge. A license is not required. This one is very much similar to other tools for the same application, except that it comes with a wide variety of advanced complementary tools under the same brand.

eGrabber

Euresys' eGrabber is gaining popularity as a comprehensive image acquisition software and recording solution. It is composed of software drivers, applications, and related tools for the simplification of developing and debugging computer vision applications by utilizing CoaXpress, Camera Link and GigE Vision cameras.

eGrabber comes with an impressive list of components that allow it to become highly effective and a one-stop shop for all things concerning image acquisition and recording. It includes the driver of Euresys' Coaxlink and Grablink Duo frame grabbers, a hardware-independent GigE Vision library, a high-performance video recording library and an easy-to-use evaluation and demonstration application.

What makes it stand out from other applications from other brands is that it exhibits flexibility of use. This is all thanks to its top-notch, subject-oriented and user-friendly API that works perfectly with various programming languages, including C++, C# and Python. Also, it is compatible with GenApi and provides a GenTL interface.

eGrabber Driver

eGrabber Driver is one component that makes the entire eGrabber set of tools all the more impactful. This impressive Coaxlink and Grablink Duo driver supports single- and multi-thread callbacks for real-time handling. eGrabber Driver is also supportive of script files when configuring the frame grabber ad camera. At the same time, it is favored by users since it is also compatible with GeniCam, GenApi, and GenTL, as well as Windows, Linux and macOS.

eGrabber Gigelink

This GigE Vision image acquisition library is universal and works well with any GigE Vision camera. The library is also hardware-independent and compatible with Windows and Linux, with GenICam and the eGrabber Studio applications. With this optional tool, programmers can utilize eGrabber concepts, objects and function calls to acquire images from the camera.

eGrabber Recorder

High-performance is the best adjective for eGrabber's video recording library. First and foremost, it allows highly optimized video recording that takes advantage of the disk's bandwidth. It can compute and save UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) timestamps with image data. When it comes to exporting, it stores images in a proprietary, highly optimized file format. Both images and video files can be exported to basic TIFF and MKV files. Another great thing about the library is it is incredibly easy to use. No need to worry about file sizes, file names, or even formats.

eGrabber Memento

Non-intrusive yet powerful and essential, Memento is eGrabber's impressive event-logging tool. This one is designed to accurately log events in relation to the camera, the frame grabber, its driver and even the host application. It offers a graphical representation of time-stamped events with a precise timeline complete with context information. While it requires low CPU usage, it runs in the background, builds logs and remains effective in assisting when setting up, debugging and profiling the system.

eGrabber Studio
