The company offers a new, easy-to-use software tool that helps engineers, scientists, and systems developers simplify and expedite the development of machine vision and scientific imaging applications. With IMAQ Vision Builder, developers work within an interactive vision development environment complete with a full set of machine vision and image processing functions. Therefore, they can quickly and easily prototype advanced vision applications, perform "what-if" testing, explore various vision strategies, and learn how specific vision functions will work- with no programming at all.

Unlike any other software o its kind, it also takes a step further towards simplifying vision application development by generating an application recipe containing the function calls and parameters that developers need to build their chosen vision solution. Working from this application recipe, they can rapidly build and optimize their application for speed using the company's IMAQ Vision software in LabView, BridgeView, LabWindows/CVI, or in ActiveX containers, such as Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual C.

IMAQ Vision Builder is an interactive software environment used to simplify the development of computer-based vision systems. The software, which is fully optimized for speed with Intel's MMX processors, features a complete set of machine vision and image processing tools, including functions for quantitative analysis, image enhancement, grayscale, color, morphology, blob analysis, and pattern matching. The interactive environment can also return critical tolerance measurements, such as distances, areas, and locations. With this software, developers can load images from files or capture images from analog or digital cameras. They can also display a single image or multiple images in the environment and zoom, pan, extract, or scroll through the images as they choose. For visually tracking and managing images, the software also features an image browser.
