Intuitive

Drag & Drop

All programming is done by choosing filters and connecting them with each other. You can focus all your attention on computer vision.

You Can See Everything

Inspection results are visualized on multiple configurable data previews; and when a parameter in the program is changed, you can see the previews updated in real time.

HMI Designer

You can easily create custom graphical user interfaces and thus build the entire machine vision application using a single software package.

Powerful

Over 1000 Ready-for-Use Filters

There are over 1000 ready-for-use machine filters tested and optimized on hundreds of applications. They have many advanced capabilities such as outlier suppression, subpixel precision or any-shape region-of-interest.

Hardware Acceleration

The filters are aggressively optimized for the SSE technology and for multicore processors. Our implementations are ones of the fastest in the world!

Loops and Conditions

Without writing a single line of code, you can create custom and scalable program flows. Loops, conditions and subprograms (macrofilters) are realized with appropriate data-flow constructs in the graphical way.

Adaptable

GigE Vision and GenTL Support

FabImage Studio is a GigE Vision compliant product, supporting the GenTL interface, as well as a number of vendor-specific APIs. Thus, you can use it with Opto Engineering® cameras and most cameras available on the market, including models from Matrix Vision, Allied Vision, Basler, Baumer, Dalsa, PointGrey, Photon Focus and XIMEA and more.

User Filters

You can use user filters to integrate your own C/C++ code with the benefits of visual programming.

C++ Code Generator

Programs created in FabImage Studio can be exported to C++ code or to .NET assemblies. This makes it very easy to integrate your vision algorithms with applications created in C++, C# or VB programming languages.

There are over 1000 filters encompassing both basic transforms and specialized machine vision tools.

FabImage Library Suite is a machine vision library for C++ and .NET programmers. It provides a comprehensive set of functions for creating industrial image analysis applications - from standard-based image acquisition interfaces, through low-level image processing routines, to ready-made tools such as template matching, measurements or barcode readers.

The main strengths of the product include the highest performance, modern design and simple structure making it easy to integrate with the rest of your code.

Features

Performance

In FabImage Library Suite careful design of algorithms goes hand in hand with extensive hardware optimizations, resulting in performance that puts the library among the fastest in the world. Our implementations make use of SSE instructions and parallel computations on multicore processors.

Modern Design

All types of data feature automatic memory management, errors are handled explicitly with exceptions and optional types are used for type-safe special values. All functions are thread- safe and use data parallelism internally, when possible.

Simplicity & Consistency

The library is a simple collection of types and functions, provided as a single DLL file with appropriate headers. For maximum readability functions follow consistent naming convention (e.g. the VERB + NOUN form as in: SmoothImage, RotateVector). All results are returned via reference output parameters, so that many outputs are always possible.

Fabimage studio pro

In this application, we need to sort nails amongst nuts and bolts. The image is thresholded and the resulting regions are split into blobs; finally, the blobs are classified by their elongation and the nails are easily found.

This example shows a basic ReadBarcodes filter. The tool automatically find the barcode and gives as output the decoded text.

License types

There are two types of commercial licenses:

Development: assigned to a single engineer. It includes one year of technical support, which can be extended with an annual fee. Valid technical support also gives you the right to upgrade the software to newer versions and provides a discount on runtime licenses.

FIS-PRO FabImage Studio Professional
FIL-SUI FabImage Library Suite
FIS-ADD FabImage Studio Professional + FabImage Library Suite

USB-DONGLE-FI USB Dongle (mandatory for development licenses)

FIS-EXT FabImage Studio annual fee
FIL-EXT FabImage Library Suite annual fee

Runtime: assigned to a single vision system. You can use one license for one multi-camera system, but multiple licenses are required to control multiple independent systems, even if run on a single physical computer. There are two flavors: ‘Studio Runtime’ and ‘Library Runtime’.

FIS-RUN FabImage Studio Runtime (for customers with a Professional dev. license with valid technical support)
FIL-RUN FabImage Library Runtime (for customers with a Professional dev. license with valid technical support)

FIS-RTB FabImage Studio Runtime (for customers without a Professional dev. license with valid technical support)
FIL-RTB FabImage Library Runtime (for customers without a Professional dev. license with valid technical support)

License carriers

There are two types of license carriers:

Computer-ID: these licenses are stored in a computer file and work only with a specific computer.

USB dongle: these licenses are stored on a device that can be used with many different computers (but still by only one person in case of development licenses).
