Overview

Vision Development
The MontiVision® Development Kit is a set of tools that
enables you to effortlessly develop powerful and customized imaging
applications. Filter configurations used in your application are
designed and configured graphically by using the MontiVision
Workbench. The development kit includes several image processing
modules that are implemented as DirectShow® filters (DirectX®
filters). User defined filters can be added using the MontiVision®
Filter SDK. Configurations are used in customized projects using
Visual C++, Visual Basic, Delphi or any other language that
supports COM (Component Object Model). A set of sample applications
that demonstrate the use of the Development Kit are also included
to demonstrate and assist with the development of additional
filters for an infinite range of applications.
