Image Acquisition and Processing in Real-time
Image Acquisition and Processing in Real-time
The company Kithara Software from Berlin closes a gap and creates a coherent real-time cycle with image acquisition, image processing and output under Windows® through the new Vision Module. Previously, it was already possible to react to images in real-time which were acquired by GigE Vision® cameras. In order to obtain real-time for this process, the Kithara real-time driver signals the existence of the entire image to the network controller within a few microseconds after receiving the last parts of the image. The new software component now enables the immediate image processing in real-time by user’s image processing algorithms, as well as by the comprehensive image processing library HALCON™ from the Munich-based company MVTec. In this way, more than 1800 processing operators are available in real-time that enable the implementation of high-performance machine vision applications. The »RealTime Suite«, already used for many years by numerous manufacturers…

Real-time under Windows in 64-bit Real-Time extension from Kithara is now available for 64-bit systems
Real-time under Windows in 64-bit
Real-Time extension from Kithara is now available for 64-bit systems Kithara’s Real-Time extension allows execution of real-time applications on the 64-bit version of Windows 7. Kithara Software announces their Windows real-time extension »RealTime Suite« now in a special 64-bit version, in order to combine real-time under Windows with all the benefits of the 64-bit world. Users in automation, robotics, image processing as well as builders of test benches and special machines are able to implement powerful solutions very efficiently. All major function modules are source-compatible both for 32-bit and 64-bit compilers and development environments. These include C/C++ or Delphi as well as the .NET-languages like C#, if the time-critical program parts are moved into a DLL. Part of the »RealTime Suite« are real-time multi-tasking and timer, which are not inferior to stand-alone real-time systems, though much easier to use due to the Windows integration. Additionally, communication mechanisms such as Ethernet sockets with UDP or…

"Green Automation" mit der »RealTime Suite« 2011 Real-time Extension of Kithara Supports Multi-Core CPUs
"Green Automation" mit der »RealTime Suite« 2011
Real-time Extension of Kithara Supports Multi-Core CPUs Real-time extension of Kithara allows distinct assignment of real-time tasks to different cores. The company Kithara Software announces an improvement of their real-time extension »RealTime Suite« 2011, which takes the trend towards multiple parallel running CPU cores into account. It allows the parallel execution of real-time tasks and the assignment of them to different CPU cores. PC-based automation provides diverse benefits, which are not only lie in the fact, that the visualization of a machine or equipment can be comfortably implemented—especially using Windows as the operating system. Automation, robotics, industrial image processing and test benches in most cases need complex calculations and therefore a powerful PC. For historical reasons, in many machines and test benches even today more than one computer is used, although this is not necessary anymore due to the increased performance of today’s PCs. The »RealTime Suite« 2011 allows for the execution…
