Image Selector	Use a module to select the images you want to keep, process, or forward.
Invert	Invert the pixel values of your images to enable more efficient image processing.
Mirroring	Mirror the images in different directions to achieve your ideal hardware setup.
Tap Geometry Sorting	Reassign the sensor areas of the camera to obtain an evaluable image flow.

LUT	By creating a custom lookup table (LUT), you can replace the pixel values of your images with values you define yourself.
Offset/Gain/Gamma Correction	Change the brightness values of your images for efficient image processing and optimized monitor display.

ROI	Limit the image flow to relevant sensor areas to ensure efficient image processing.
VisualApplets Compliance	Use the preprocessing capabilities of VisualApplets to reduce the load on your application, reduce image data, improve image quality, or speed up image processing. This feature is a property of the programmable frame grabber.
