Development Tools for Imaging & Vision Applications


Boost your vision application development!

Gidel’s development tools for Machine Vision & Imaging enable users to customize Gidel’s Frame Grabbers and Edge Computers. Users can implement high-end, tailored Vision/Imaging systems with these tools.  The ProcVision supports software development based on grabbers’ APIs.  It offers customization options for different grabber architectures. The suite includes options for image pre-processing and compression algorithms. Advanced users can use the Gidel ProcWizard and templates to implement on-FPGA real-time image processing and system architecture customization. Users can customize software, I/O interfaces, and FPGA design code (HDL).
Software, I/O interface, and FPGA design code (HDL).  The suite includes tools for automatic generation of the board’s Application Support Package (ASP).  It generates the software driver, the HDL top-level envelop, interface bridges, and Gidel proprietary IPs such as JPEG/Lossless/Quality+ compression. The suite also allows to seamlessly embed the Gidel MultiPort memory controller enabling simultaneous multi-application access to the Frame Grabber.
