This MVTec HDevelop tutorial improves visualization: apply LUTs, fit window to image, set fonts/colors, show outlines, and use the correct coordinate system.
In this tutorial, we show how we use MVTec MERLIC to detect missing fuses on a PCB in just a few minutes – easy to follow along with the free trial version.
Improve your surface-based matching with two helpful features
Do you sometimes have objects, which have rather small symmetry-breaking elements (such as small boreholes on an object)? Does your surface-based 3D matching not find the correct orientation?
"For most applications, the standard parameter values are sufficient." This sentence is often read in the HALCON Solution Guide. But what if the results do not meet your expectations? The Metrology Model allows lightning-fast measurement of geometric shapes. Adjusting the distance_threshold and min_score parameters ensures precise fitting even in demanding applications.
This article gives an overview of HALCON’s image acquisition modes, explaining how continuous, triggered, and synchronous acquisition work, and clarifying common misconceptions for practical applications.
Easy text and code reading with MERLIC standard tools
If you want to build an MVApp that reads for example QR codes or bar codes you can do so with just a few clicks. You can even combine the tools to get all available information printed on a product in different formats without the need for programming skills.
Discover best practices for setting up classification and OCR in HALCON using the HDevelop OCR Training File Browser – quickly review, correct, and optimize your training data to improve segmentation and classification results.
Learn how to handle outlier samples in MVTec HALCON by using rejection classes in MLP classifiers – automatically generate samples outside the training classes to improve classification reliability.
Discover how to significantly speed up image classification in HALCON using look-up tables (LUTs), enabling faster online inspection while understanding the trade-offs between speed and accuracy.
