Sherlock from Teledyne Dalsa is a user-friendly image processing software suitable for many automated inspection applications. The software can be used to graphically create applications with area scan cameras, line scan cameras or 3D profile sensors using drag & drop and script. The graphical development environment offers many useful tools and functions, such as measurement or color tools, tools for image analysis or inspection, positioning and reading, as well as pre-processors and flexible area and line ROI.

Phil-Vision's beginner training courses are aimed at developers of image processing solutions with no prior knowledge of Sherlock. However, a basic knowledge of image processing is helpful.
