National Instruments has been a leader in machine vision and image processing for nearly a decade. NI vision software is available in two packages – the NI Vision Development Module and NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (AI). The Vision Development Module contains hundreds of vision functions to use with NI LabVIEW, NI LabWindows/CVI™, C/C++, or Visual Basic to program powerful vision inspection, alignment, identification, and measurement applications. Vision Builder AI is an interactive software environment for configuring, benchmarking, and deploying machine vision applications without programming. Both software packages work with all NI vision frame grabbers and the NI Compact Vision System. Note the following 10 considerations when choosing vision software.
