Key Feature List

Sherlock contains a wide range of computer vision algorithms designed and packaged for ease-of-use with graphical controls for development and fine-tuning.

Preprocessors
Extensive set of image conditioning functions that can be applied to ROIs prior to analysis.

Positioning Tools
Advance pattern-finding tools for object location and alignment.

Measurement Tools
Precise tools for locating edges and computing the dimensions on a variety of parts and shapes.

Analysis Tools
Tools for finding and counting edges, extracting and analyzing features, detecting contrast variation, and performing statistical analysis.

Calibration Tools
Correct for linear, nonlinear, and perspective image distortion. Convert camera pixel to real-world coordinates.

Color Tools
Teach colors or measure RGB values for precise manufacturing and quality checks.

Barcode Tools
Read and verify 1D and 2D codes. Check for code grading and quality. Supports most common code formats.

OCR Tools
Read and identify printed, molded, or stamped text. Teach character sets or use pre-trained neural-net based OCR tool.

Script Tools
JavaScript-based scripting tool, complete with drag-and-drop instruction editing, allowing the development of custom formulas or inline and background operations.

Administration
Controls for protecting against unauthorized access, editing, and copying.

Computational Imaging
Sherlock supports the Shape from Shading feature which combines multi-directional lighting with computational imaging algorithms to accentuate surface features which would normally be difficult to image using regular lighting.
