518 Allied Vision Technologies (AVT) has released a new version of its Vimba SDK, platform-independent software development kit.

Vimba 1.3 expands the platform support to ARMv7 – an increasingly popular systems in the consumer electronics and IT industry - and open new possibilities as a simple, compact and cost-effective host for machine vision systems. Vimba 1.3 also supports OpenMP, nearly utilising the full capabilities of multiprocessor systems to speed up image conversions.

Users can easily program and test application on a Linux-based PC and compile it for their ARM system, shortening development time. Vimba 1.3 for ARM supports soft-float and hard-float platforms and AVT provides prepared Makefiles and an application note for cross-compiling from Linux/x86 to Linux/ARM.

Vimba 1.3 is GenICam compliant and compatible with all major image-processing libraries and is available free of charge from the AVT website.

    Dave Marples of Technolution argues that the continuing development of tolling-specific onboard equipment is leading us up a blind alley. We should, he says, be looking to realise universal platforms with universal application. The near-future automobile contains information systems of a sophistication to rival a jet airliner of only a few years ago, yet is 'piloted' by a considerably less well-trained individual of highly variable mental and physical capacity, and operated in a hostile, unpredictable and p

  • GenApi 3.0 reference implementation released
    June 7, 2016
    The GenICam standard group has released GenApi 3.0, a new version of the reference implementation to the GenICam standard. This is a complete re-implementation and has similar advantages to the previous version. GenApi 3.0 enables loading and interpretation of the camera description file several times faster and has a much smaller memory footprint than the previous version. In addition, more platforms are now supported, in particular the ARM architecture.
