• Highest accuracy:     Calibration is the key for achieving highest accuracy in machine vision.

  HALCON enables you to calibrate your camera very easily. With a powerful set of operators you can remove lens distortions from your images and measure objects in world coordinates.

• Multi-View 3D calibration:     An explicit and precise description of your area or line scan setup, even for complex distortions: A small set of internal and external camera parameters map the image coordinates to real world coordinates permitting, for example, subpixel-accurate measurements up to 1 µm in a field of view of 10 mm — also with line scan cameras. HALCON's hand-eye-calibration is crucial for robotic applications.
  
  

  The calibration plate enables HALCON to perform the camera calibration.

  Rectify perspective distortions in less than 5 ms.

  Distances on the caliper can be measured in the presence of perspective distortions.

• Calibration plates:       Bundled with HALCON, you can buy calibration plates from MVTec. These high-precision measurement instruments are necessary to calibrate the set-up of a vision system. This enables you to perform precise measurements even in real-world coordinates. They are available in different materials and sizes from 0.00065×0.00065m up to 0.2×0.2m.
  
  Please note that calibration plates are only available bundled with MVTec software.

  While calibrating, a calibration plate must be visible within the image, but it need not fill the whole image completely.
