Cognex announces Linux support for Cognex Vision Library
In announcing Linux support for its Cognex Vision Library (CVL), the vision systems company explains that it will allow users to obtain more predictable performance in critical machine control applications. Cognex says it will also offer them greater ability to manage operating system patches and upgrades for end customers who insist on 'copy exactly' procedures.
CVL 7.0 CR7 release supports Linux kernel 2.6 and later versions and works with Debian, Fedora, Red Hat and Ubuntu distributions. It makes use of the XLIB graphics library for display, and directly supports the latest GigE cameras. Cognex's image acquisition SDK lets users integrate other camera interfaces, such as USB and CameraLink.
