LabVIEW now comes with NI Vision Development Module 2012, for developing a 3-D stereo vision system using any two cameras and performing advanced inspection and control using depth information from 3-D vision technology. Also works with third-party hardware and software tools for 3-D vision and combines 3-D images with other algorithms, such as pattern matching or object tracking, to profile stationary or moving objects.

Features include:

• High-precision 3-D image acquisition using new stereo vision and calibration algorithms in the Vision Development Module.
• Compatibility with third-party 3-D cameras, such as SICK Ranger cameras that use laser triangulation technology.
• Seamless integration of additional 3-D processing and analysis libraries, such as the AQSENSE SAL3D library, in the same graphical programming environment.
