Cognex Designer and ViDi - Training

Cognex Designer and ViDi Standard

The Cognex Designer and ViDi Deep Learning Standard class teaches the standard topics of how to create a vision application with the Cognex Designer programming environment which includes a built in HMI user interface. This class also gives students an introduction to the first ready-to-use deep learning-based software dedicated to industrial image analysis. Cognex ViDi Suite is a field-tested, optimized and reliable software solution based on a state-of-the-art set of algorithms in machine learning.

This class gives new users an overview of the hardware and software used by Cognex Designer to quickly and efficiently program the system for automated vision inspections. With the focus on understanding image acquisition basics as well as core vision tools, users learn how to walk through the process of setting up a vision application using programming best practices of the Cognex Designer interface.
