The NeuroCheck ®  Compact Vision System  adds a whole new  dimension to digital image  processing, finally fulfilling  the potential of the  "Intelligent Camera". For  the first time you will be  able to hold the leading  industrial image processing  tool literally in your hand.  An entire PC has been  integrated into the compact  housing of a CCD camera,  powerful enough to use  NeuroCheck® as the heart  of an "Intelligent Camera.".

    NeuroCheck's®  combination of user  friendly functionality and  small size opens up a whole  new range of possibilities  for visual inspection in  cost or space-sensitive  applications. At any time,  an existing application can  be expanded into a  complex, multi-camera  inspection system, thanks  to the full adaptability of  the standard NeuroCheck®  PC software system.

Because of the integration of functions for many different areas of digital image processing under the same intuitive user-interface, NeuroCheck can be applied cost-effectively even in small companies, since you can easily transfer the experience gained from one application to the next. This page shows some typical application areas.

Presence Verification

The question to be answered in a presence verification problem is, whether a product is complete with all required components. As an example the image displays a palette of car parts with one part missing in the second row. NeuroCheck's integrated concept enables you to check the detected objects for validity using all available features, even a neural classifier.

Bar Code Identification

Bar code identification is especially important for process control in production systems. From the bar code the type of the work piece can be determined to control further inspection processes. NeuroCheck's bar code algorithms guarantee reliable recognition of all standard bar code types even for very poor quality conditions, as you can see her at an ink-jet bar code on a metal surface.

Pattern Recognition

Parts can also be identified by readable letters or arbitrary symbols instead of bar codes. The neural networks used by NeuroCheck can learn from examples to recognize arbitrary patterns, enabling you to tune the recognition process to your particular application.

---

Gauging



Gauging is a very important area of digital image processing. With NeuroCheck you can measure dimensions of individual objects as well as distances between objects and properties of whole object groups. Depending on the camera's field of view, a precision of 5 to 10 micrometers can be achieved.

Print Quality Inspection

Not only can NeuroCheck recognize defects of printed labels, like malformed characters or color spots, the print quality inspection functionality can also be used to check the correspondence of the current image to any kind of reference image.

Color Matching

A completely new range of applications for NeuroCheck is opened by Color Matching. On the basis of user-defined reference colors, areas of different colors can be identified immediately. Do not only verify the presence of a component, but simultaneously its color. Besides, Color Matching often represents the only method to distinguish between equally shaped, but differently colored objects. Converting the full color images into gray scale images enables color inspection applications with the speed and efficiency of a highly optimized gray level system.
