Camera and vision

I am thinking of bringing image processing to PLCnext , my CPU is AXC F 2152 , maybe I will program C++ , C# , or matlab , does anyone have an idea for me to do, give me some suggestions, I read on Instagram that they have successfully connected to the IP camera, please help. Thank you very much

To do image processing, you will probably need to capture an image on your camera and transfer the image file(s) to the PLCnext Control device. You should be able to do that using standard file-transfer utilities.

Once the file is on the PLCnext Control device, you can consider how to process the image(s).

One application example that uses image processing is described here:

For more heavy-duty image processing applications, e.g. ones that use machine learning algorithms, you could consider the AXC F XT ML 1000 left-side extension module for the AXC F 3152 controller:

The ML 1000 module will be released in the coming months, and there will be tutorials and/or application examples released at around the same time, which will probably use Python.
