    As I mentioned before, it can only be employed in simple basic visual recognition applications. It can be employed in large projects and relying it on completely is not encouraged. It's better to create your own algorithms rather than using it. If you are from a non-programming background, then I may suggest you rely on this and use it to develop simple apps that can predict a few plants and animals.

    The perfect scenario is a production environment where items are passing in front of a camera on some type of conveyor system. Vision Builder AI can be set up to inspect those items and make decisions that can be handled down the line (rejection, sorting, etc.). It's great if you have an isolated vision system as part of a larger system that needs to just pass on results. It's not as well suited if you need that code tightly coupled with other code, such as vision-guided robotics.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Not perfect
    • Accuracy is doubted and sometimes it may not predict correctly.
    • I think it should be improved and should add a few more functionalities.

    I am giving this rating on the basis of its usability in real-time applications and based on the interface to upload negative and positive images to train the AI. But it's not perfect and sometimes its predictions are wrong. On overall usability, it's better if you are planning on working with UI rather than using complex programs and algorithms on your own.

    It all comes down to tradeoffs. Do you want something that is extremely flexible and full-featured or do you want something that is easy and fast to use? Sure there are things that you can't do in Vision Builder AI that you can implement in LabVIEW, however, the vast majority of the applications that we work on do not need that extra functionality so Vision Builder AI is the best choice for us. If we find out along the way that Vision Builder AI is not going to work for us at least we have all of the steps and parameters figured out that we can use when moving to LabVIEW.
