iNspect is a breakthrough machine vision inspection tool designed for a broad range of applications, from precision metrology to pharmaceutical packaging. Wrapped within an easy-to-use user interface, iNspect provides a suite of tools that can be readily applied to a multitude of inspection tasks, such as positioning, measuring, identification, verification and flaw detection.

iNspect now includes support for color processing. Color inspection is often needed to verify different parts on assemblies or to sort parts based on their color. Mono tools can be applied to these tasks when color differences are easy to distinguish, but when color differences are slight, the use of mono tools become unreliable. The new iNspect allows users to quickly segment images by color (shown below) and bring the entire set of mono tools to bear on the application. In keeping with iNspect's trademark ease-of-use, the interface includes a simple point and click color calibration tool to remove unrealistic color casts (also known as white balance).

Without color processing, seemingly simple inspection tasks like the one shown above would be very difficult to setup using mono tools alone.

iNspect's straightforward 5-step setup allows users to quickly configure and deploy an application. Each of the inspection tools have been carefully designed to extract the relevant information from the object image. No programming or extensive training is required!

The heart of our Vision Appliance hardware, iNspect is also offered as a standalone software package for deployment with an industrial PC and DALSA GigE cameras. Included with the iNspect software is iLabel, an application designed specifically for the packaging industry that is used to verify the placement and quality of labels on packaged goods.
