Sherlock
Essential
contains the most “essential”
or commonly used machine vision features at a very
affordable price. It is an ideal starting point
for developing and prototyping machine vision applications.
Optional packages are available for specific application
requirements including reading linear bar codes,
2D matrix codes and OCR (optical character recognition).
If your application grows beyond the capabilities
of Sherlock Essential, ipd also provides an affordable
migration path to Sherlock Professional. |
Sherlock
Professional
contains our full suite
of machinevision software tools. This version is
the preferred solutionwhen your application requires
multiple camera views, custom algorithms, in-line
scripting and more sophisticated processing capabilities.
The Sherlock Professional feature set includes theability
to read linear bar codes, 2D matrix codes, as well
as OCR. For OCR-specific applications that require
enhancedspeed and programmability, ipd also offers
an optional add-on
capability called OCRplus. |
