Scorpion Vision Software 6.0 is launched at Vision 2007

Scorpion Vision Software 6.0, the first configurable 3D machine vision system, will be launched at Vision 2007 - November 6-8, Stuttgart, Germany.

 

You will find us at the Sony, Unibrain and Polytec stands.

 

At the show we will present:

  • 3D Robot Vision with Sony SmartCam and ABB Robot at Sony booth
  • Scorpion 3D Modeler together with Polytec
  • 3D Stereo Vision using Unibrain Industrial Cameras at Unibrain

Scorpion Vision 6.0 is a complete 3D framework for Machine Vision. With the release of Scorpion 6.0 the toolbox is expanded with more than 25 tools. Data sheet, 190 kByte pdf.

 

Important features are:

  • Integrated 3D Visualization and 3D Images - point cloud support
  • Powerful 3D reference systems - intuitive, convenient and easy to use
  • Seamless 3D integration enables high precision 3D measurement using 2D image processing tools
  • Advanced FitPlane3D and FitCylinder3D establish 3D reference systems based on point clouds.
  • 3D Images and Models can be created from laser grid, stripe light or laser profilers
  • High performance support for Prosilica GigE and AVT Firewire cameras
  • GRIM - Python Image Processing and Image Enhancement Library including AutoContrast
  • Scorpion Vision Server support
  • Support for Windows XP large memory model increases the available size of a Scorpion profile to 2.5 GByte

Scorpion 6.0 creates 3D Models of moving objects in real-time

The animation shows the steps of creating an 3D model of a pc-mouse with a Lasiris 19x19 lasergrid and 3 camera stereo vision system. The lasergrid covers a 3D FOV of 140 x 140 x 80 mm with a resolution of 0.5 mm.

 

 

 

Advanced 3D Modeling available with a new option GCPS 

With the Scorpion 6.0 release a new option is available GCPS - this option enables Scorpion users to create high precision 3D Models with a standard video projector and one camera. To the right a point cloud capture with Scorpion. The cylinder visualizes a located cylinder. GCPS - stands for Grey Coding and Phase Shift. 

 

The new option makes 3D Measurement, 3D Robot Vision, Random Bin Picking and 3D Assembly Verification feasible for everyone.

 

The option is developed in cooperation with the Norwegian Research Institute - Sintef. It is the first commercial result of the research project "Auto3D" sponsored by the Norwegian Research Council. More information - www.scorpionvision.com  - press release

Prosilica GigE supports Scorpion Vision Server™ 

GigE will change the way we use cameras in Machine Vision System and open up new application areas. Scorpion Vision Software and Prosilica is the best platform to take advantage of this industry shift based on Ethernet connectivity. The Scorpion Vision Server can runs tens of vision sensor tasks or up to four demanding machine vision applications on one Industrial Vision Server. The hardware platform for a Scorpion Vision Server is GigE cameras, OPC, TCP/IP, Profibus, Quad Core Processors, Hot Swap Redundant Disk and Industrial Ethernet Technology.

Wireless 3D Robot Vision using Prosilica GigE  

Combining Prosilica GigE cameras and Scorpion Vision Software users can make wireless robot vision systems. One Scorpion Vision Server can run multiple 3D robot vision system on one computer.   

 

 

Scorpion 6.0 supports Allied Vision Technologies FirePackage Driver

Based on the AVT FirePackage Scorpion provides support for the complete range of AVT firewire cameras: Marlin, Guppy, Pike, Stingray, Oscar and Dolphin.

 

This offer the Scorpion user the complete feature set, the benefit of full bus control and 100% predictable data latency.

 

 

The Scorpion 6.0  AVT combination creates simple to install Machine Vision applications with even higher reliability and robustness.
