How’s your memory? If it’s in good shape,
and you’ve been reading my ramblings for some years, you might recall me
commenting on Andy Wilson’s plea for an objective test of machine vision
software performance.
(“Wanted: a real
Buyers Guide”
February 2009)
Well in the June 2012 issue of
Vision Systems Design Andy returns to this topic with a report that an Italy-based consortium is
developing just such a test. Those wanting to learn more should read the VSD
article for a detailed explanation, or just skip straight to the Vialab website.
An interesting side note is that one
of the principal project contributors is Datalogic. If that name doesn’t ring
any bells, allow me to remind you: late last year Datalogic announced that it
would be acquiring PPT Vision.
Does this mean PPT’s Impact machine vision
software will be
one of the first products formally tested? I have no inside information, but
you’ve got to agree, it would make sense.
