Software for image processing and analysis

The classic and AI-based pylon vTools and VisualApplets offer you a wide range of functions for image processing and analysis. Thanks to intuitive, graphical programming interfaces, powerful solutions can be easily implemented - from applications with classic or AI-supported algorithms to complex FPGA processing.

pylon AI for image analysis
Image analysis with AI delivers precise results for computer vision applications such as object detection, OCR, segmentation, and classification without any programming effort.
pylon vTools for image processing
Design robust image processing software for quality assurance and tracking. Functions such as blob analysis, matching, and code reader can be combined using drag-and-drop design and flexibly integrated into the target application.
VisualApplets
With VisualApplets the programming of FPGAs on a graphical user interface succeeds completely without hardware programming.

Software for image acquisition

Our software provides you with comprehensive support for precise and powerful image acquisition: from simple camera integration and configuration to FPGA programming, 3D image acquisition, and frame grabber control. With our software solutions, you can use Basler products optimally in your application.
