 Vision Systems

The hardware platform on which the Visionscape application is to run is 
generically called a Vision System. Visionscape supports several types of 
Vision Systems:

•

The VS-1 Smart Camera — A networked Smart Camera for use in 
machine vision and traceability applications. It has integrated lighting, 
optics, imaging, processing, I/O, and communications. 

•

Visionscape GigE System — A Vision System comprised of one or 
more Visionscape GigE cameras.

•

Visionscape Software System — Visionscape can mimic a hardware 
system by running a software emulation. The software system may 
be used for application development using stored images. Typically, a 
software key is required for full operation.
