Development Tools for Imaging & Vision Applications

Gidel offers and extensive set of development tools for Machine Vision & Imaging applications. The ProcVision Developer’s Suite provides a powerful set of tools for customizing the Frame Grabber acquisition path and for developing, testing and verifying the on-FPGA image processing block. The tools include means for developing both the image processing FPGA code and the software application. The ProcVision Suite includes:

• CertifEye Toolchain: Enables instant debugging and validation of the FPGA image processing IP(s) and the ISP pipeline
• ProcFG: Frame Grabber flow enabling ROI capture and real-time image processing – supported by software and API
• InfiniVision: Frame Grabber flow for multi cameras/sensors enabling real-time compression and synchronization of 100+ cameras
• CamSim: Camera simulator for developing and testing imaging and vision applications
• ProcDev Kit: Allows you to fully tailor your grabber’s Application Support Package (ASP) including integration with software
• TotalHistory: Access wide and virtually unlimited FPGA signal tracing depth (promotional inclusion in ProcVision)
• Utilities: Load new designs, scan FPGAs, etc.

• Includes ProcFG FPGA acquisition flow + image processing pipeline and software API and GUI.
• Optimized for vision systems that use FPGA acceleration.
• Optimized for line scan vision applications using reference images.
• Supports multiple cameras, including different camera standards.
• Multi-cameras can be used in a single or multiple process/programs simultaneously
• Selective ROI grabbing for ultra-high acquisition rate and data offloading.
• Supports GenICam streaming (optional).
• Option for adding user image processing block on FPGA.
• Supports all Gidel Frame Grabbers.

• Includes InfiniVision FPGA acquisition flow + image
  processing pipeline and software API and GUI
• Optimized for grabbing from multiple cameras, including from multiple Frame Grabbers
• Ability to grab compressed images/video
• Can join multi-camera synchronized data into highly compact frames
• Simultaneous grabbing from different camera types and image sizes
• Designed for high system reliability of multi-camera systems
• Optional console display of multi-camera grabbing
• Option for adding system frame header to synchronize all related data, e.g., sample time, frame number, position, etc.
• Supports all Gidel Frame Grabbers

Allows for the tailoring and seamlessly integrating the software & FPGA via automatic:

• Mapping the FPGA board’s resources to the application(s) needs.
• Generating ASP (Application Support Package).
• Multi-program parallel access (to the same FPGA).
• Building a Modular Frame Grabber, e.g., each tap representing a unique camera.
• Adding and configuring FPGA imaging and vision algorithms, including custom code.
• Combining several grabbing and image processing flows for single or multiple cameras, e.g., real-time image processing. using ProcFG and in parallel, recording compressed incoming data using InfiniVision.
