Open Project

Open an existing project:

  • Click on File ‣ Open Project (shortcut Ctrl + O). Just select the corresponding folder. There is no need to locate the specific .vis file.

  • Or, double-click the .vis file in the project folder to start Mech-Vision and automatically load the project.

Open a recently opened project:

Find it in File ‣ Open Recent… and click on it to open.

Tip

  • If Mech-Vision 1.4.0 or above is used to open a project created with a lower version of Mech-Vision, the original .json algorithm file will be automatically replaced by a .vis file after saving, and a backup .bak file will also be generated.

  • Click on File ‣ Save Project as JSON to save the project in .json format if necessary.

Mech-Vision supports opening multiple projects at the same time:

The file names of the opened projects are displayed in the Project panel on the left, as shown in Figure 2. Left-click the project name (no. 1 or no. 2 in the figure) to see the editing status of the selected project in the Graphical Programming Workspace.

Attention

  • Please make sure that the folder name is identical to the name of the .vis file, or else the file cannot be opened.

  • When using a virtual camera, files of the intrinsic parameters and calibrated extrinsic parameters of the camera should be included in the folder.

  • When using a real camera, the file of the calibrated extrinsic parameters needs to be included in the folder. The intrinsic parameter file will be automatically downloaded when the project runs.
