IMAGING SOLUTIONS
SVIP is engineered to provide solutions across diverse imaging technologies.
Quality control, medical imaging, microscopy, machine vision research &
development, and varied applications requiring motion capture, image enhancement,
calibrated measurement, particle analysis, multi-camera imaging, or image archival
are easily accomplished.
Together with the SILICON VIDEO MUX imaging board, SVIP seamlessly integrates many popular cameras and video sources with a broad array of features: individual, sequence, or triggered image capture and display; video enhancement and pseudo-color; examination of image details; an extensive library of image processing functions; graphical annotation; image export, import, and printing; and programmable video formats. Most nonstandard video formats are identified automatically by a QUICK SET VIDEO program.
SVIP VERSIONS
SVIPTOOL provides configuration for standard or nonstandard video; capture;
display with zoom; enhance or pseudo-color; diagnostics; test patterns, 2-D
and 3-D pixel plots; and custom menu and scripting support. SVIPTOOL also exports
custom video formats and micro-code as a support tool for programming the SILICON
VIDEO series. SVIPTOOL is provided with each SILICON VIDEO imaging board if
neither SVIPLITE nor SVIP are ordered.
SVIPLITE includes all of the features of SVIPTOOL, with the addition of saving and loading of images and lookup tables via disk, and saving of graphic displays (e.g. S/VGA).
SVIPTOOL and SVIPLITE are limited versions of the fully-featured SVIP ready-to-run image analysis program. SVIP provides all of the features and capabilities described herein.(1)
ENGINEERED FLEXIBILITY
SVIP is a scientific and engineering package providing hundreds of qualitative
and quantitative imaging operations. Engineered with a unique flexible architecture,
SVIP empowers researchers and developers to meet today's requirements, as well
as the evolving demands of future applications.
Far more than an interactive program, SVIP's scripting language allows automation of image analysis and inspection tasks. Macros, custom screens, and record/playback of command sequences enhance productivity.
EPIX has provided imaging solutions to the research and industrial communities since 1984. Join the camera manufacturers, radiologists, astronomers, biologists, machine vision and other engineers, who rely on EPIX for solutions.
| MULTIPLE FORMAT VIDEO CAPTURE & DISPLAY
Capture from video sources supported by the SILICON VIDEO or SILICON VIDEO MUX: area scan, high resolution, high frame rate cameras; with digital or analog interface. Easy setup for nonstandard video formats with QUICK SET VIDEO programs. Automatic identification of most formats. Software controlled capture window, undersampling, reconfigurable image buffers, and split screen. Video rate image sequence capture. Triggered event acquisition. Continuous (circular) sequence acquisition until terminated by trigger event. Trigger on TTL signal, time of day, keyboard, mouse, or video time code. Simultaneous capture from multiple cameras (with multiple imaging boards). Display with RS-170, CCIR(2); or other formats in genlock mode. Select one of six video inputs(2). Software zoom, pan, scroll.

ENHANCE & PSEUDO-COLOR(3)
Set lookup tables numerically via linear ramps, log curve, gamma curve, or mathematical expression. Set lookup tables interactively with sliding controls for black level and gain. Pseudo-color isobars with RGB or with Hue, Saturation, Brightness (HSB) models. Switch among multiple lookup table sets. REVEALING EXAMINATION 2-D plot of pixel values across line or column, or through image buffers; overplot reference data, subtract baseline data, filter, colorize, size, label. 3-D plot of pixel values, select colorization, rotation, size, and label. Numerical display of pixel values, in same or successive image buffers. Pixel scope provides continuous update of captured data.
