The VISTA-P4 is primarily designed for mobile and embedded applications. It is the ideal machine vision system for those who need a high-performance, PC-based platform in a compact and industrial package.

See the product literature for further details.

The vpEXTRA is an open-architecture machine vision engine that encapsulates the power and functionality of Cognex^® VisionPro^® into a reusable software platform to develop complex applications with just a few lines of code. This easy-to-use module can be added to your software, like any other referenced object, to provide your application with instant access to a complete machine vision engine.

The engine provides an image acquisition interface that can dynamically load external assemblies. This innovative approach enables users to develop a Class Library Assembly that implements our Frame Grabber Interface and thereby integrate any imaging hardware. The Base Algorithm Class offers a host of default functionalities that make the development of custom algorithms a breeze. Developers will simply create a new Class Library Assembly by deriving from the Base Class and implementing the required methods.

Using our vpEXTRA, complex industrial  applications can be developed easily and quickly. The open-architecture engine can be combined with our RoboCAL and AccuTCP products to address camera calibration for robotics applications and relate image coordinates to the tool-tip (gripper) position.
