Cooperation Baumer - SiSo

Cooperation for cameras with application specific image pre-processing

Baumer and Silicon Software announce a close cooperation to integrate VisualApplets® technology in cameras to realize Machine Vision applications. Objective is to provide an easy to use image pre-processing base to compute complex algorithms already in cameras. Dependent of the specific application, latency or transmitted data amount can be reduced and the PC's load minimized for the final analysis. As result, the robustness of the image processing and speed of inspection is obviously enhanced.

VisualApplets 2.0

Silicon Software's VisualApplets 2 available

VisualApplets® development tool is available in version 2.0. The graphical development environment for programming FPGA processors has been greatly extended in functionality. The handling of the software is much easier now. The simulation has become more comfortable with import and export functions. Estimation of FPGA resources is now available for overall design as well as design components and individual image processing operators. Error analysis and troubleshooting are now closely linked to offer a comfortable visual debugging. The operators of all image processing libraries are optimized for higher performance. Users can create own libraries and use them modularly. A completely redesigned, comprehensive documentation provides information for all audiences - from a quick start tutorial with many examples to a detailed operator reference.

VACC #2

Silicon Software awarded first VisualApplets Competence Center (VACC) certifications

With the introduction of certification for VisualApplets partner, Silicon Software warrants a worldwide qualified service for customers.
The certification for a VisualApplets Competence Center (VACC) refers to partners, who will give excellent VisualApplets consultancy, support and even basic integration and development services for realtime processing task on FPGAs.
Silicon Software performs a VACC certification for the second time. 8 further partners were certified or recertified.

The certification for a VisualApplets Design Center (VADC) refers to partners, who will realize even complex integration and development services for realtime processing applications on FPGAs. The certification of a VADC starts this year.
