VISIONPRO 10

PC-Based Vision Software for the

Most Challenging Vision Applications

VisionPro® 10 is an innovative software

combining best-in-class vision technologies in a
comprehensive development environment. Powerful
enough to tackle any vision challenge, VisionPro
10 leverages extensive tool prototyping using
an intuitive graphical interface to enable rapid
deployment of highly-customizable applications.
Dynamic to its core, which includes rule-based,
hybrid smart tools and deep learning technologies,
VisionPro 10's future-oriented design is ready to
support today's and tomorrow's vision challenges.

INDUSTRY-LEADING SMART TOOLS

VisionPro 10 smart tools are the first-ever solution of
their kind in the PC vision world. These smart tools
include both 2D vision and deep learning technologies,
creating a powerful all-in-one tool by integrating the best
features of rule-based vision and machine learning. The
first VisionPro smart tool, Smart Line, uses intelligent
algorithms to find lines quickly and dynamically with high,
sub-pixel accuracy.
Vision Made Easy
Features
QuickBuild™: Intuitive drag-and-drop graphical
interface easily chains tools together
Modular design blocks simplify programmatic
integration and shorten the development cycle
Optimized for multi-core and multi-threaded
processors for maximum performance

VisionPro 10 makes it easier to solve vision challenges

Introduction of smart tools solve challenges
through the QuickBuild environment, which offers fast
and flexible application development. The QuickBuild too advanced for “traditional” vision systems
prototyping environment provides an easy-to-use by offering deep learning capabilities
graphical interface to configure acquisition, select, and combined with sub-pixel accuracy
optimize tools, and make pass/fail decisions – with
no prior programming experience. Combined with the
Ability to integrate VisionPro Deep Learning
ability for scripting, QuickBuild can be used for the most
challenging vision tasks. Modular ToolBlocks also allow technologies inside QuickBuild
users to quickly create and reuse components, further
simplifying and shortening the development process.

Unmatched Programming Flexibility

In addition to the .NET programming interface (C# API), VisionPro 10 offers greater programming flexibility with
a new C++ API, enabling the highest level of customization and configurability.

Easy Integration of Deep Learning

VisionPro now enables easier integration of Cognex’s Deep Learning technology. From the intuitive,
drag-and-drop interface within QuickBuild, users can load a trained VisionPro Deep Learning workspace and
link it with any VisionPro tools for pre- or post-processing. Integration into a common development environment
streamlines application deployment and gives users greater flexibility in building custom solutions.
