A complete set of software tools for creating machine vision and image analysis applications is available in Zebra's Aurora Imaging Library, formerly known as Matrox Imaging Library. From application feasibility to prototyping, through development, and finally deployment, the Aurora Imaging Library has tools for every stage of the process. The software development kit (SDK) offers interactive programming and software functionality for picture capture, processing, analysis, annotation, presentation, and archiving. By increasing productivity, these tools shorten the time and effort needed to bring ideas to market.
