Scorpion Vision Software is an independent and open software tool for industrial vision. The library approach of making machine vision solutions is old-fashioned. PC-based rapid application development tools like Scorpion for 2D and 3D machine vision produce better and more reliable applications: five to 100 times faster from idea to working application than systems based on a standard library approach. We do sub-pixel 3D measurement in 2D images.

Scorpion Vision Software gives the user the choice of a small form factor of an embedded PC, a Sony SmartCam or the power of a multicore PC. The system is founded on top of a standard Windows XP/Vista/7 PC platform. It is cost effective benefitting from the processing power of the multicore CPU, the low cost and high quality firewire, usb and GigE cameras and the possibility of connecting multiple cameras to one PC. The Scorpion Stinger family of hardware components is compatible with Scorpion Vision Software.
