CVB Image Manager

CVB Image Manager is the core of the product and is required in every CVB application. The unique functionality and approach of the CVB Image Manager as an open standard provides an excellent basis for custom algorithms and applications in industrial image processing.

The CVB Image Manager offers unrivalled functionality in image acquisition, image handling, image display and image processing.

It contains an extensive set of basic functionality allowing you to control many different types of image acquisition devices, as well as a wide range of image handling and processing functions. Furthermore it provides an optimised display with DirectX support and non-destructive overlays, a flexible coordinate system and support for multithreaded operation.

Using CVB Image Manager for image data access, it is also possible to create your own algorithms for your application.

Based on a clear architecture and integrated modularity, Common Vision Blox enables manufacturer independent changes of acquisition hardware and technology at any time, simply by loading the respective driver. An advanced abstraction of the image captured allows complete decoupling of the algorithm from the image acquisition.
