  • EasyLocate Interest Point : New working mode (alternative to EasyLocate Axis Aligned Bounding Box) simplifying the annotation of the dataset and the configuration of the tools when all objects have the same size. A single click is enough to annotate an EasyLocate Interest Point object.
  • EasyGauge : New Polygon Gauge in addition to Point, Line, Rectangle, Circle and Wedge gauges.
  • Deep Learning tools now supporting GPU processing on NVIDIA Jetson.
  • Faster compilation time with simplified C++ headers and reduced calling cost to the Open eVision API.


EasyObject Description
EasyObject Description

The EasyObject library handles image segmentation, i.e. the decomposition of images into separate objects, also called blobs. Once the objects have been constructed, they can be handled as independent entities. Various geometric parameters or features, such as area, width, or ellipse of inertia, can be computed for each object. Objects of interest can be selected by means of their position or of their computed features. EasyObject also supports the inspection of holes in defined objects. Holes are managed as the objects themselves, benefiting from the same geometrical features. EasyObject manages the relationship between objects and holes, defining parent objects for holes.

Flexible Masks
Flexible Masks

EasyObject supports the restriction of the blob analysis to complex- or disconnected-shape regions of the image thanks to the Flexible Masks that are available for the encoding functions. EasyImage can also generate Flexible Masks from an encoded image.


Graphic representation
Graphic representation

The objects can be drawn onto the source image. The following blob features have a pre-set graphical representation:

  • Objects
  • Diagonals
  • Bounding box
  • Convex hull
  • Ellipse
  • Feret Box
  • Feret box with an angle of 22°
  • Feret box with an angle of 45°
  • Feret box with an angle of 68°
  • Gravity center
  • Minimum enclosing rectangle
  • Weighted gravity center


Open eVision Studio: Evaluation, prototyping and development tool
Open eVision Studio: Evaluation, prototyping and development tool

Open eVision Studio is the evaluation, prototyping and development tool of Open eVision. Its intuitive graphical user interface allows you to call and immediately see the result of any of eVision's 2D image processing functions. A scripting functionality generates the corresponding code, which can then be copied and pasted into your application.

Open eVision Studio is free (when using Open eVision 2.0 and above) and does not require any license.

Just click on DOWNLOAD OPEN EVISION STUDIO and install Open eVision. Sample images, manuals and sample programs are included.

Neo Licensing System
Neo Licensing System

  • Neo is the new Licensing System of Euresys. It is reliable, state-of-the-art, and is now available to store Open eVision and eGrabber licenses.
  • Neo allows you to choose where to activate your licenses, either on a Neo Dongle or in a Neo Software Container. You buy a license, you decide later.
  • Neo Dongles offer a sturdy hardware and provide the flexibility to be transferred from a computer to another.
  • Neo Software Containers do not need any dedicated hardware, and instead are linked to the computer on which they have been activated.
  • Neo ships with its own, dedicated, Neo License Manager, which comes in two flavours: an intuitive, easy to use, Graphical User Interface and a Command Line Interface that allows for easy automation of Neo licensing procedures.
