National Instruments Application Software
This section describes the National Instruments application software
packages you can use to analyze and process the images you acquire
with the NI 1405.
Vision Builder for Automated Inspection
NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (AI) is configurable machine
vision software that you can use to prototype, benchmark, and deploy
applications for use in LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement
Studio. Vision Builder AI does not require programming, but it is scalable
to powerful programming environments.
Vision Builder AI allows you to easily configure and benchmark a
sequence of visual inspection steps, as well as deploy the visual inspection
system for automated inspection. With Vision Builder AI, you can perform
powerful visual inspection tasks and make decisions based on the results of
individual tasks. With Vision Builder AI, you can migrate the configured
inspection to LabVIEW, extending the capabilities of your applications if
necessary.
Vision Development Module
The Vision Development Module is an image acquisition, processing, and
analysis library of more than 270 functions for common machine vision
tasks, such as:
• Pattern matching
• Particle analysis
•Gauging
• Taking measurements
• Grayscale, color, and binary image display
You can use the Vision Development Module functions individually or in
combination. With the Vision Development Module, you can acquire,
display, and store images, as well as perform image analysis and
processing. Using the Vision Development Module, imaging novices and
experts can program the most basic or complicated image applications
without knowledge of particular algorithm implementations.
