Development of Machine Vision and Image Processing Systems

Do you need to implement camera inspection in production or automatically evaluate images from a camera? Not every task requires an extensive and expensive vision system. In many cases, a simple application designed specifically for the given task is more than enough. We design and develop custom-tailored, single-purpose solutions – from barcode and QR code reading, through part presence checks, to dimensional measurement or product quality evaluation. The result is a simple, reliable, and affordable solution without unnecessary features, licenses, and complicated setup.

Typical Applications

• Component/part presence check
• Barcode and QR code reading
• OCR reading of texts and production markings
• Product dimension measurement
• Surface quality inspection
• Product counting on a conveyor belt
• Correct assembly verification
• Product sorting by shape or color

Why Choose a Custom Solution?

• Tailored precisely to your specific production task
• No expensive licenses or unnecessary modules
• Simple operation for line operators
• Seamless communication with PLCs and production systems
• Fast implementation
• Possibility of future expansion

Real-world Implementations

Need a Flexible Platform for Machine Vision? Meet Visys.

Visys is a modular system for image processing and automation, allowing you to create your own inspections using ready-made functional blocks. From simple code reading to complex camera applications communicating with PLCs, databases, or robots. Without the need to develop everything from scratch.

Visys did not originate as an academic project or universal software. The system is developed in Slovakia and has been deployed in industrial applications for a long time. It was built step-by-step while solving real-world industrial tasks – from simple code reading to robot guidance and complex machine vision inspections.

System Overview

Image Inputs:

• USB, GigE cameras
• Image and video files

The software allows you to:

• Calibrate, filter, and segment the loaded image.
• Search for objects, lines, and contours in the image.
• Detect the position and dimensions of objects.
• Read barcodes and text (OCR).
• Process images from image and video files.
• Create image and video files.
• Create independent tasks and interconnect them.
• Process images from multiple cameras simultaneously or merge them into a single image.
• Communicate with PLC systems.
• Trigger inspections via hardware trigger.
• Add custom logic using Python scripts.
• Share data between individual inspections.
• Work with databases, text, and XLS files.
• Design optics based on a known field of view (FOV) or vice versa.
• Perform automatic or manual measurement of dimensions, angles, and distances.
• Remotely view the inspection output images.
• Integrate classic machine vision algorithms as well as AI models.
