Scorpion Vision Basic 2D and 3D
Scorpion Basic™ is a cost-effective, proven, robust and complete configurable multicamera 2D and 3D machine vision system. Scorpion Basic™ is a product in the Scorpion Vision Software® family; an independent and open software tool for industrial vision. The unique rapid machine vision framework speeds up the development a factor of 10 compared to a standard library approach.
2D and 3D Assembly Verification
Scorpion Basic™ is used in 2D and 3D assembly verification. The combination of multiple cameras, color processing, unique reference systems, high accuracy and 3D makes it well suited for the automotive and pharmaceutical industries.
Object and Color Identification
It is easy to make identification systems with Scorpion Basic™. The powerful toolbox consists of a collection of tools:
Blob4 with it’s unique feature classification, TemplateFinder3 with multiple templates and subpixel accuracy and ColorMatcher can be the basis for simple and advanced identification systems.
Robot Vision and Robot Inspection
The software is widely used for Robot Vision and Robot Inspection. It is designed for OEMs and System Integrators. A proven 2D toolbox is the starting point. Depending on the requirements, capabilities and features are added e.g. Singlecamera 3D with MonoPose3D™ or 3D laser triangulation.
Advanced 2D and 3D calibration
Scorpion Basic™ offers fundamental performance gain and cost saving with sub-pixel measurement algorithms.
The software can produce more accurate and robust systems with a web camera resolution 640×480 and a plastic lens than software using a 4 mega-pixel solution with high quality lens and pixel-based algorithms. 3D camera calibration adds the capability of working in the right 2D plane.
Free access to Open-Source and OpenCV
The Scorpion Vision framework contains the most powerful Python scripting engine. We have provided easy to use access to Intel’s free machine vision library OpenCV 2.1. Python also gives access to NumPy and to the .Net framework. With these features almost everything can be added to Scorpion for free – like custom GUI, database access and reporting functions.
Multiple visions systems on one computer
With Scorpion Watchdog is it easy to run multiple systems on a single computer. This is a simple way to exploit the power of multicore CPUs. The multicore option can speed up a single application by a factor of 3 on a quad-core processor.
The Scorpion Basic™ combined with a SmartCam gives you a compact and cost-effective solution. Ideal for high precision gauging and 2D and 3D Robot Vision.
Scorpion Basic™ in a SmartCam
The Scorpion Basic™ version supports the Windows XPe operating system and SmartCameras from Sony. These cameras are well suited for 2D and 3D Robot Vision.
Camera support
The open Scorpion Vision Software architecture allows connections to high resolution firewire cameras, GigE cameras, low cost USB cameras, cameralink linescan, 3D cameras and more.
The camera support includes advanced features like dynamic shutter, encoder control and hw-triggering. Only limited by the PC capacity, any number of cameras can be connected and controlled from one Scorpion application.
