Point Grey Research has announced plug-and-play interoperability between the company’s Grasshopper3 and Flea3 USB3 Vision cameras and Matrox Imaging Library (MIL), a comprehensive software tool for developing machine vision, image analysis and medical imaging software applications.

USB3 Vision is a machine vision interface standard designed to enable seamless integration between USB 3.0 cameras, cables and image processing libraries from different vendors. The standard defines a stream and control protocol, which leverages the success of GigE Vision and GenICam by relying on a standard format naming convention (SFNC) to maintain consistency in functionality and attribute naming. Existing GigE Vision users will be able to seamlessly transition to USB3 Vision and vice versa.

Point Grey, one of the founding members of the USB3 Vision Committee and a key contributor to the development of this standard, has been working alongside Matrox Imaging since summer 2013 on the USB3 Vision implementation. Matrox Imaging already provides support for Point Grey’s GigE Vision and FireWire products and with the recent release of Matrox Imaging Library release 10, support is extended to Point Grey’s USB3 Vision cameras.

Michael Gibbons, Director of Sales and Marketing, Point Grey Research, commented: "We are excited to see Matrox Imaging, one of the leading players in the machine vision industry, join the USB3 Vision ecosystem with their new version of MIL. Providing easy, reliable interoperability between Matrox Imaging Library software and Point Grey USB3 Vision cameras will have a huge benefit for our mutual customers worldwide.”

Existing Point Grey customers can download the USB3 Vision supported firmware for all Grasshopper3 and Flea3 USB 3.0 models directly from Point Grey’s website.
