Support of microEnable frame grabber boards with release of the MVTec HALCON 7.0
The adaptation of the image processing software HALCON 7.0 to the microEnable III interface creates a powerful package for machine vision applications.
By usage of hardware based algorithms, microEnable III product line frees the software with preprocessing tasks, which needs lots of computing power. In the subsequent steps, HALCON enables a fast and comfortable image processing of the data in the PC.
The combination of frame grabber hardware with a very low latency and huge performance capacity and a highly accurate and fast image processing software with voluminous function library creats an universally usable solution for industrial application in maschine vision.

HALCON 9.0 Product Description
HALCON 9.0 Frame Grabber Interface for Silicon Software microEnable Boards
With the new version 9.0, MVTec Software GmbH strengthens HALCON's position as a comprehensive software for machine vision used worldwide.
Version 9.0 furthers HALCON's technological leadership with a shape-based matching tool that is faster, more user-friendly, and even more robust than in previous versions. Unique to this new version, the model may be composed of components that can move with respect to each other. This component-based matching gives HALCON 9.0 maximum flexibility in recognizing objects.
Robotics and semiconductor industry are targeted with brand new stereo tools. For the first time, the 3D shape of objects can be measured using a machine vision software that supports many standard platforms. HALCON 9.0 calculates the 3D data required for these tasks highly accurately and interprets them in the blink of an eye.
Version 9.0 makes the reading of data codes even more robust and user-friendly. The identification of a code works extremely reliably, even when the code is etched or embossed on metal surfaces, or when the code appears disturbed, mirrored, or inverse. In addition to the supported Data Matrix Code ECC 200, HALCON now also supports the QR code.
Numerous new features of HALCON 9.0 include, amongst others: image mosaicking – the automatic combining of images from multiple cameras; subpixel-precise measurements in color images; even more reliable OCR and texture analysis; rectification of complex image distortions; procedures for HDevelop; interactive documentation.

MVTec Software GmbH is a leading international supplier of software tools for machine vision used in all demanding areas of imaging: semi-conductor industry, web inspection, quality control and inspection applications in general, medicine, surveillance etc.
MVTec is the developer and vendor of the general purpose machine vision software HALCON. This tool, optimized for the needs of OEMs and system integrators, enables engineers to set up their own solutions for a specific machine vision task.
Another powerful product of MVTec is ActivVisionTools. This family of tools allows OEMs and system integrators to develop powerful machine vision applications quickly and easily without the need of writing code. ActivVisionTools is based upon HALCON and therefore inherits the speed, robustness, and accuracy, but hides the complexity of machine vision from the user and presents solutions for common tasks such as measuring objects, reading bar codes, or blob analysis.
