Machine Vision Experiment Master

Machine Vision Experiment MasterIt is a core software component of RVB, which is mainly used for machine vision sensing. The machine vision experiment master can also be used to perform visual positioning of products or adjustments to positioning devices.

Software features

No programming knowledge is required, lowering the threshold of analysis technology.
Supports CCD or CMOS cameras and digital LED light sources from mainstream manufacturers on the market.
It provides many practical tools, in addition to visual algorithm analysis tools, there are also mechanical fixture adjustment and lens focus adjustment tools.
Not only can static visual algorithm analysis, image analysis and processing be performed, but it also supports online visual feature analysis and preprocessing (implemented through machine vision query language).
It contains the functions provided by the testing software tools provided by most camera manufacturers, and there is no need to worry about learning different camera testing tools.
Supports saving and opening images in multiple formats such as bmp, jpg, etc.
Notice :
The Machine Vision Experiment Master needs to run on a windows operating system that supports OpenGL3.0 or above.
The free version only supports DirectShow cameras and MachineVision cameras. If you need more camera support from manufacturers, please contact us.
The free version only supports digital light sources confirmed by Jingpu Company that use serial communication. If you need more light source support from manufacturers, please contact us.
When performing analysis tasks on actual projects, please do not use non-professional cameras and lenses to avoid obtaining the desired results.

How to use

After running the Machine Vision Experiment Master, the interface shown in Figure 1 will be displayed. The main interface consists of the main menu, toolbar, status bar, camera navigation bar, camera property bar, camera performance bar, and field of view window.

Main menu: Provides access to all operations, including camera operation, light source operation, visual tools, display, and even image opening and saving.
Toolbar: Provides commonly used operation entrances, many of which correspond to the main menu functions.
Status bar: Displays the main information of the current camera such as interface, resolution, frame rate, clarity, etc.
Camera navigation bar: Displays the currently available physical cameras and allows you to open specific cameras.
Camera property bar: Displays the parameters of the opened physical camera. If the parameters support writing, you can set the parameters.
Camera performance bar: Displays the key performance of the opened physical camera, such as whether it supports ROI operations, whether it can capture image frames statically, etc.
Field of view window: Displays the opened image and displays various utility graphics and patterns.

1 toolbar
The toolbar provides a graphical operation interface for commonly used operations. Such as camera operation buttons, light source operation buttons, etc. Divided into three parts, main toolbar, visual toolbar and display toolbar. As shown in the picture.
