Common Vision Blox (CVB) is a set of powerful software components that can be configured in a variety of ways to develop robust machine vision applications. Common Vision Blox from STEMMER IMAGING has proved its market leading position in Europe through several thousand applications in the past few years. Image Labs International is the sole authorized North American distributor for STEMMER IMAGING to expand its international sales channels of Common Vision Blox (CVB) into the American market. Image Labs International has a lot of know-how and experience in the field of image processing and is a well known distributor and integrator of machine vision components in the USA . Just like STEMMER IMAGING, Image Labs International sets highest value on qualified professional consulting during engineering and a funded technical support during the machine vision project runtime.

Foundation Package - This is a low cost package that provides most of the tools you need for basic applications. Tools are included for image Capture, Reading and Writing to disk, Edge location, Filtering, Threshold, Blob location, Correlation, Graphing, Lightmeter, and Image Unwarping, plus more.

Programming - Whether you're working in VC++, VB, C# or .NET, this powerful and flexible toolset is great for developing imaging applications quickly. It supports Microsoft and Borland compilers, and has Active X and LabView controls. For prototyping new applications, use their GUI development environment called iTuition.

Examples - This is the best part of the package. There are examples for almost every function, written in all these languages: .NET, VB, VC, Dephi, and CBuilder. They come with compiled examples, so you can try out the functions and see how they work before you write a line of code.

Hardware - One of the strong features of CVB is their hardware independence. This means that once you develop an application, it is easy to port it to a new frame grabber with other features. The package provides support for USB, Firewire (IEEE 1394), and Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) cameras, too.

Software Downloads - These are free trial packages, with only a few functions disabled. The file save function is disabled, and occasionally a reminder screen will pop up reminding you this is a trial package. This way you can develop and try any tool, and only purchase what you need.

Additional CVB Tools- These are competitively priced tools that include almost any image processing tool appropriate for machine vision. Additional tools beyond the Foundation Package include: FFT, Advanced filtering, Barcode, Bayer conversion, Color Matching, Contour, Shape Recognition, Object recognition, Movie, Print Quality, and Fuzzy Logic. These can be tried for free to see what you need, then purchase only what you need.

Free Trial and Download - You can download the latest version of the entire package over the network, or request a CD from Image Labs.

Minos	For many industrial pattern matching applications, it has been historically necessary for the developer to refine the algorithm on an object-specific basis. It has not been generally possible, for example, to use a font recognition algorithm for the location of electronic components - a common requirement in PCB manufacturing. The result is extended development times and high associated costs during the implementation of such systems. Minos is designed differently: objects of all types are learned in a training program which runs under Windows.
