Computer vision software for image processing
Open source software
Open source software is computer vision software which is free to use. In addition, the open-source code can be customized and modified to suit the specific needs of your machine vision application. Please note that we provide an online guide how to use our cameras with the open source software, but we do not provide technical support on the open-source software itselves. For support, please use the support forums of the open source software.
Industrial camera interfaces
We offer a free SDK for use with our industrial cameras, providing camera drivers and programming examples in various programming languages. It provides the user-friendly program Galaxy Viewer. More information about the Galaxy Viewer and its additional features can be found in our Knowledge Center article: Daheng Galaxy Viewer to program our industrial cameras.
The SDK is designed to acquire first images, configure camera settings and control the camera during initialization or in R&D settings. The SDK’s sample programs and feature documentation allow you to write your own computer vision software program. It forms the basis for controlling the industrial camera by creating the image processing software. With the help of the sample programs you can easily acquire and save images or change camera parameters. Afterwards it is possible to add your own algorithms to create your own computer vision software program.
The software development kit is compatible with 32/64bit hardware platforms (such as regular and industrial PCs) and ARM platforms, including NVIDIA TX series and Raspberry Pi. Supported operating systems include Windows, Linux, and Android. Operating systems Notably and Apple MAC OS are not supported for industrial use, but engineers can run a virtual machine with Windows or Linux on MAC for compatibility. The SDK supports programming languages like C++, C#/.NET, and Python. It is possible to acquire additional languages upon request, these are not included in the standard package.
Zebra Technologies is a leading player in the field of computer vision software. They develop computer vision software to easily write your own image processing program for automating projects. With Zebra Aurora Vision software, computer vision integrators can quickly and easily solve automation projects. The image processing software ensures a robust graphical environment designed for machine vision engineers. It empowers them to develop custom computer vision software programs for quality inspection and industrial automation.
The Zebra Aurora Vision image processing software utilizes a dataflow-based approach and provides a rich collection of pre-built image analysis filters. Its standout feature is catering to professional users, enabling both straightforward creation of common applications and efficient development of complex, tailored projects. This flexibility makes it a versatile tool for computer vision engineers seeking to address a wide range of quality inspection and automation needs in the industrial sector.
On our Zebra Aurora computer vision software web page we offer a variety of packages for images processing. A simple classification of the Aurora Vision Software portfolio can be made:
- Aurora Vision Studio: Highly powerful and easy to use image processing software for machine vision engineers. Graphical low-level programming environment to enjoy fast development and easy customization.
- Aurora Vision Library: Ready-to-use features for C++ and .NET programming. Develop your own software for complex applications.
- Aurora Vision Deep Learning: Add-on. Select your images, mark defects/labels and train the software. You could keep training it for your specific application. Deep Learning OCR is a pre-trained tool for optical character recognition. Especially for complicated, damaged or blurred characters, it offers a great solution.
IO Industries offers 2ndLook software for Windows and Linux, ideal for recording video from industrial GigE and USB3 Vision cameras in both industrial and research settings. 2ndLook is not computer vision software, but a recording and diagnosis tool. It utilizes the GenICam protocol to connect and control industrial machine vision cameras. This means that you gain the ability to easily record image streams from an industrial camera 24/7 with this 2ndLook software.
The 2ndLook software acquires individual images from the camera and generates a video file. These recordings can be reviewed for further analysis. It is user-friendly and commonly used for troubleshooting manufacturing processes and recording scientific experiments. Plus, it supports H.264 stream recording and data compression from industrial cameras.
Open source software is computer vision software which is free to use. In addition, the open-source code can be customized and modified to suit the specific needs of your machine vision application.
One of the most important packages of open source computer vision software is OpenCV. This open source software package is often used in OEM projects where computer vision is applied. The main programming language of OpenCV is C++, but language bindings in Python, Java and MATLAB are available. In contrast to some commercial solutions like Zebra Aurora, OpenCV requires extensive knowledge of a programming language and understanding of machine vision techniques in order to correctly implement them in a final code.
An open source software program worth mentioning is Kinovea. In contrast to OpenCV, Kinovea software is not genuine machine vision software. It originates from motion capture of athletes. Our high frame rate MER2-041-528U3C camera and MER2-160-227U3C camera are often being used for high speed recording. High speed recording, measurement and motion tracking capabilities can be utilized in research and quality control applications.Visit the Kinovea web page to download the Kinovea software.

8Cameras are a great value for money
The cameras are a great value for money and the lenses also. The software is outdated and needs refreshing. It took me considerable amount of time to discover how to access the camera features.

Recently we purchased a camera with lens, and LED lights. We are not experienced with machine vision but the installation worked out fine. After installation on our laboratory we were surprised again of the high quality of the photos and the versatility of this system. (options in Galaxy viewer and integration in Python. Recently we had an issue with the software and the customer support was able to give us the relevant information to fix it within one day. The next time we need a camera we will not be looking to other suppliers but contact GeT Cameras immediately.

For a new product development there was a lot of price pressure. We needed a cheap camera. I called them and Caspar was providing great support. He even advised a cheaper camera than I had in mind. I was just surprised by the inhouse knowledge of get cameras about machine vision. Never expected this from a webshop. The image an built quality of the camera is also great. The camera feels and operates the same as our Basler cameras.

In the beginning I was sceptic because of the low prices, but support by email was great. They advise a lens and provided additional technical information. Unfortunately they don't offer a loan service, but I decided to try it. I had the cameras in house within 2 weeks and connection was easy. The SDK looks like the SDK from Basler so I felt directly comfortable with it. The camera and lens was a perfect match and now I'm able to read small DMC codes on large products with just a single camera.
