Developers' Corner

In the context of 3D applications in HALCON, you have surely already heard the terms “3D mappings”, “XYZ-mappings” or “XYZ-images”. Many 3D sensors provide these XYZ-mappings along with the point…

You want your new deep learning application to be successful? Then you should be careful with your data handling. In every machine vision application it is important to work with “high-quality” image…

Most of the easyTouch tools available in MVTec MERLIC are optimized for processing byte images and generally do not work as expected for other pixel types, such as int1', 'int2', 'int4', 'int8',…

With the help of deflectometry you can easily inspect flat but also curved specular surfaces. Defects like scratches, bumps, cracks, and dents can be detected robustly and fast. Deflectometry is used…

Deep learning technologies allow a wide range of applications for machine vision. Based on these technologies, MVTec offers various operators and tools within HALCON and MERLIC – often in combination…

In the digital age of smartphones and tablets, the control of devices via a touch screen became second nature to us. Little by little, this revolutionary new technology is adapted by industry as well.…

Deflectometry is useful for inspecting reflective (specular) surfaces. These surfaces are tricky to inspect with other methods, due to a mirror image appearing on the surface. Chapter 8 in the HALCON…

The parameter "Greediness" defines a tradeoff between speed and completeness. On the one hand, the search speed can be increased by discarding candidates earlier based on a less strict criterion,…
