.VPP File Extension

Project file created by Visual Paradigm for UML, a diagramming application included in the Visual Paradigm Suite; can save multiple kinds of diagrams for a single project, including UML diagrams, business process diagrams, entity relationship diagrams, and others.

VPP projects are generally used for documentation during the concept and planning phases. Each diagram saves drawn objects and connectors that can represent a variety of objects and flows for a business process or software design. By documenting these concepts before implementation, developers save time and money and reduce the risk of unplanned issues arising in the latter project stages.

A VPP file is a data file used by Cognex VisionPro, which is "machine vision" software that utilizes image sensors and advanced optics to capture images and extract information from them. It contains information about the state of one or more jobs, or tools, such as the configuration of multiple connected cameras. VPP files are saved in XML format.

VisionPro is a Windows program that includes a large library of 2D and 3D tools for setting up and deploying 2D and 3D vision applications. The software is developed by Cognex, a leader in the machine vision industry, which refers to applications that combine software and hardware to capture and process images into information for the purpose of guiding devices.

VisionPro comes with a variety of tools, such as LineMax, OCRMax, IDMax, and PatMax. These tools can be used to perform various jobs in VisionPro, such as data matrix code reading, optical character recognition, and geometric pattern matching.

NOTE: Cognex VisionPro is available as standalone software or packaged with Cognex Designer.
