ActivVisionTools 2.2 enhanced

APRIL 14--Multipix Imaging (Petersfield, Hampshire, UK;www.multipix.com) is distributing the machine-vision software ActivVisionTools version 2/2 from MVTec GmbH in the UK and Ireland. Supporting a wider range of programming environments and extended functionality, ActivVisionTools is a family of ActiveX components that enables developers to configure machine-vision applications intuitively.

ActivVisionTools 2.2 now fully supports Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, as well as Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft C# .NET with image-processing libraries. Measurements are now processed substantially faster. It also supports 1-D barcodes under adverse conditions such as thin or defective barcode elements. Even distortions such as frames or additional lines close to the barcode do not affect the identification. The list of supported 1-D barcodes includes two additional types--PharmaCode and Code 93.
