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.


Automatic recognition
Automatic recognition

As an automatic library, a learning phase is not required, but it is optional. Some characteristics of the matrix code may be set manually in order to restrict the search and accelerate the process. These characteristics are: the family of the matrix code, the number of cells, the cells color, whether flipping is allowed or not.


Print quality verification
Print quality verification

EasyMatrixCode inspects the quality of the Data Matrix code and computes the indicators as defined by the ANSI/AIM, ISO/IEC 15415, ISO/IEC TR 29158 and SEMI T10-0701 standards.


Grid reading
Grid reading

EasyMatrixCode2 supports the definition of a grid to improve reading regularly positioned Data Matrix Codes. When possible, using a grid substantially improves both the reliability and reading speed.


EasyMatrixCode Description
EasyMatrixCode Description

Data Matrix codes are widely used for parcel tracking and part identification in the semiconductor, pharmaceutical and mechanical industries. EasyMatrixCode is a fully automatic reader of 2D Data Matrix codes. It recognizes symbols of any size, contrast, location and orientation in a single operation. Error detection and correction algorithms are used to provide a reliable reading. EasyMatrixCode is fully compatible with the ANSI/AIM BC11-1997 standard. EasyMatrixCode2 now supports the Data Matrix Rectangular Extension (ISO/IEC 21471,DMRE).


Impressive robustness to noise, blur and distortion
Impressive robustness to noise, blur and distortion

EasyMatrixCode can be used in the most demanding situation. It has been designed to fulfill the most difficult application cases such as:

  • Bad illumination conditions: non-uniform contrast, under- or over-exposed images
  • Bad images resulting from printing or optical defects: blurred Data Matrix codes, anisotropic and non-uniform scaling, noisy images, skewed images
  • Hard-to-detect codes: small-size codes, codes on a textured background, resulting from dot peening, laser marking, ink jet printing or electro-chemical etching on various materials.


ECodeReader: More codes in one scan
ECodeReader: More codes in one scan

ECodeReader simplifies the process of reading multiple codes and types within the same image by integrating EasyMatrixCode2, EasyBarCode2 and EasyQRCode into a single, simple, and unified interface. In some applications, reading multiple code types is a requirement. Doing so, required until now, the use of multiple Code Readers (i.e. one per code type). ECodeReader simplifies that process by integrating the power of EasyMatrixCode2, EasyBarCode2 and EasyQRCode into a single, simple, and unified interface. With ECodeReader, you can thus read Barcodes, Data Matrix codes and QR codes with a single method call. Note: ECodeReader requires the EasyMatrixCode, EasyBarCode and EasyQRCode licenses.


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.
