Vision Development Module

NI Vision Development Module, which consists of NI Vision and NI Vision Assistant, is an image acquisition, processing, and analysis library 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.

As part of the Vision Development Module, NI Vision Assistant is an interactive prototyping tool for machine vision and scientific imaging developers.

Vision Assistant generates a Builder file, which is a text description containing a recipe of the machine vision and image processing functions. This Builder file provides a guide you can use for developing applications in any ADE, such as LabWindows/CVI or Visual Basic, using the Vision Assistant machine vision and image processing libaries. Using the LabVIEW VI creation wizard, Vision Assistant can create LabVIEW VIs that perform the prototype you created in Vision Assistant. You can then use LabVIEW to add functionality to the generated VI.
