Machine-vision software features OCV Optical character verification has been added to VisionBlox

Machine-vision software features OCV Optical character verification has been added to VisionBlox 2.1, a set of software tools for machine-vision system development. In the latest version, the company has added two controls: a Read Tool and an Unwrap Tool. The Read Tool verifies proper printed text in an image and uses either a number of supplied standard optical-character-recognition sets or can be trained by the developer. The Unwrap Tool control unwraps characters printed on circular objects so that the software can perform character verification or recognition.
