Release Benefits¶
eVision has been rebranded¶
Starting with release 26.10, Open eVision has been renamed to eVision.
Being part of the Allied Vision ecosystem, eVision now comes in an Allied Vision branded design. Experienced users will see redesigned user interfaces. The technical IDs and installation folders will also be updated to align with the Allied Vision product portfolio. All features and tools, however, retain the same functionality.
Improvements for the code readers¶
EasyBarCode now supports two additional symbologies: GS1 DataBar Stacked Omnidirectional and GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked (see GS1 DataBar barcodes). A sample demonstrating how to read these codes has been added to eVision Studio.
EasyQRCode reading performance has also been enhanced, with improved QR code grid positioning and more robust handling of uneven illumination and irregular grids.
Line detector in EasyImage¶
A new EasyImage line detector is available to detect straight line segments in BW8 binary images. It leverages a probabilistic Hough transform to identify candidate lines and then merges nearby collinear line segments.
The ELineDetector class supports optional region and frame inputs and returns a list of ELine objects.
This feature is well suited for detecting scratches, cracks, and other straight marks on a wide range of materials. A corresponding tool and sample have been added to eVision Studio.
Usability improvements for eVision Studio¶
eVision Studio tool and sample catalogs now include a powerful filtering system. You can narrow the lists to items introduced in a specific eVision version, marked as New or Deprecated, or belonging to a particular library. Filters can be combined to further refine searches.
The eVision documentation is now available in a dockable window within the application.
New tools have also been added for EasyOCR2, Region to ROI, Frames from shapes, Custom convolution kernel, and acquiring images from a live video stream (RTSP).
eVision documentation overhaul¶
The eVision documentation portal has been fully redesigned.
With updated content, the new documentation brings together all the resources you need to build applications using eVision libraries.
