"The bandwidth and processing demands of today's video content analysis systems requires that image processing move from central servers to embedded systems at the edges of the network. AnaLogic created InstantVision ISE 3.0 in order to provide developers with both extremely fast embedded processing capability and a flexible, easy-to-use, development environment" says Dr Gusztáv Bártfai, CEO, Analogic.

InstantVision 3.0 also includes updated versions of the earlier software libraries (signal and image processing, signal and image flow processing, feature classification, and multitarget tracking libraries). These platform-independent libraries can be used together or separately to put together applications for video content analysis, traffic monitoring, multitarget tracking, or any machine vision task.

The InstantVision libraries can be ported to any platform and also come ready for use on a PC in order to facilitate rapid prototyping. They are especially optimized for the powerful TMS320C64xx series of DSPs from Texas Instruments used by AnaLogic's own award-winning Bi-i series of camera.
