2009年3月10日，上海 世界領先的機器視覺系統和視覺傳感器供應商，康耐視®公司 （NASDAQ - CGNX） 推出了一種新型軟件，進一步擴展了其獨立于硬件的 VisionPro 軟件的強大工具組合。VisionPro 5.2軟件是一種集 PatMax®專利技術、增強的顏色工具和增強型架構于一體的簡便易用版本，它利用了多核計算機的強大功能。 　　該軟件包括新型 SearchMaxTM 和 ColorExtractorTM 顏色工具。SearchMax 利用顏色特性搜尋目標，該工具在幾何要素不足以定位工件的應用中顯示出極其強大的功能。ColorExtractor 能夠在復雜場景中定位彩色區域，只需最基本的培訓即可進行操作。該工具針對食品和包裝業等所需的高速應用進行了優化處理。 　　此外，新發布的軟件還可為圖像過濾工具以及PatMax® 和 PatInspectTM提供多核支持。客戶可手動調節內核的使用方式，或者不管可用核數的多少，僅依靠操作系統獲得最佳應用速度。 　　VisionPro 5.2 還能夠簡化從任何成像來源的讀取。現在，不管是任何板卡組合還是直接與攝像頭連接，均可用于單個應用。一月份發布的讀取聯盟計劃通過主要攝像頭供應商為客戶提供最佳集成機器視覺解決方案。 　　執行副總裁兼視覺軟件業務單位經理 Markku Jaaskelainen 說：“這次最新發布的 VisionPro 軟件繼續以方便客戶為重點。為了能夠在復雜應用中為客戶提供幫助而對多核系統進行的優化、對顏色視覺工具的改進以及新工具的增加等措施，顯示了康耐視信守為所有用戶提供綜合性最強的視覺軟件產品的承諾。” 關于康耐視 　　康耐視公司設計、研發、生產和銷售機器視覺傳感器和系統，即有“視覺”的電腦。康耐視公司的視覺傳感器在全世界的工廠廣泛使用，幫助實現產品生產的自動化，并且保證產品的優異質量。作為全球領先的機器視覺公司，康耐視自從 1981 年成立以來，已經銷售了 45 多萬套機器視覺系統，累計利潤超過 25 億美元。康耐視總部設在美國馬薩諸塞州 Natick 郡，在北美、日本、歐洲、亞洲和拉丁美洲設有地區辦事處和經銷處。請訪問康耐視網站：http://www.cognex-china.com/ 　　[b][align=center]NEW RELEASE FOR COGNEX HARDWARE-INDEPENDENT VISION SOFTWARE[/align][/b] 　　Cognex Corporation （NASDAQ - CGNX）, the world‘s leading supplier of machine vision systems and vision sensors, announces new software expanding the powerful toolset of its hardware-independent VisionPro software. The VisionPro 5.2 release, provides an easier to use version of the patented PatMax® technology, enhanced color tools and an enhanced architecture to harness the power of multicore PCs. 　　The release includes new SearchMaxTM and ColorExtractorTM color tools. SearchMax uses color features to search for objects. It is extremely powerful in applications where geometrical data is insufficient to align the part. ColorExtractor locates colored regions in complex scenes, with very minimal training . It is optimized for high speed applications such as those required in the food and packaging industries. 　　Additionally, the new release includes multicore support for image filtering tools as well as for PatMax® and PatInspectTM. Customers can manually adjust the way cores are used, or rely on the operating system to get the best application speed regardless of the number of cores available. 　　VisionPro 5.2 also simplifies the acquisition from any imaging source. Now any combination of frame grabbers or direct connect cameras can be used in a single application. The Acquisition Alliance program, announced in January, provides Cognex customers with best-in-class, integrated machine vision solutions through access to major camera vendors. 　　“This latest VisionPro release continues to make ease-of-use for the customer a priority,” said Markku Jaaskelainen, Executive Vice President and Vision Software Business Unit Manager. “Optimizing for multicore systems, enhancing color vision tools and adding tools to help in complex applications, show the Cognex commitment to provide the most comprehensive vision software product on the market for all users.” 　　VisionPro 5.2 is currently available.
