1 1 MVTec Software GmbH is a leading international manufacturer of software 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's innovative work is driven by a commitment to be the number one supplier for sophisticated technologies in machine vision. MVTec is engaged in sponsoring various activities in universities, thus participating in the challenging process of understanding how machines can be taught to see. HALCON is the comprehensive standard software for machine vision with an integrated development environment (IDE) that is used worldwide. It leads to cost savings and improved time to market: HALCON's flexible architecture facilitates rapid development of machine vision, medical imaging, and image analysis applications. HALCON provides outstanding performance and a comprehensive support of multi-core platforms, MMX and SSE2, as well as GPU acceleration. It serves all industries with a library of more than 1800 operators for blob analysis, morphology, matching, measuring, identification, and 3D vision, to name just a few. HALCON secures your investment by supporting a wide range of operating systems and providing interfaces to hundreds of industrial cameras and frame grabbers, also for standards like GenICam, GigE Vision, and IIDC 1394.

4 4 Cutting-edge performance in 3D vision 3D vision is revolutionizing machine vision. 3D information helps machines and robots to see and decide what to do. 3D vision technologies are getting more and more important for industrial production, robotics, and medical applications. HALCON provides all technologies needed to implement almost any conceivable 3D vision application. To name just a few, HALCON 11 now offers new features like 3D surface comparison, 3D object processing, and improved photometric stereo for advanced surface inspection. HALCON 11 sets new standards in 3D vision technology and provides state-of-the-art image processing algorithms.

5 5 For surface comparison a reference 3D object model is needed. It can be generated from CAD data or from reconstructed 3D data. Because 3D sensor data (or data that was reconstructed by software, e.g. with stereo) is often noisy and incomplete, the data has to be pre-processed, e.g., by registering and unifying many views to a single object. During the online phase, the test objects are acquired by a 3D sensor (or by reconstruction). After that, they have to be aligned to the reference object, e.g., by surface-based 3D matching. After the alignment, the objects are compared by calculating the distance between reference and test object with distance_object_model_3d. Points that have a too large distance are candidates for defects.

6 6 The new 3D surface comparison between expected and measured shape of a 3D object surface is an outstanding technology of HALCON 11. The surface can be reconstructed by any 3D technology available in HALCON like multi-view stereo, sheet of light, or by ready-to-run 3D hardware scanners which are also directly supported by HALCON. HALCON's 3D surface comparison evaluates the resulting point cloud with the trained object model. HALCON 11 controls the quality of an object's shape and thus lets you enter new markets.

9 9 Supersonic Machine Vision It is unbelievable how fast software can be. HALCON's automatic operator parallelization (AOP) is a unique feature. Let HALCON automatically split your data into multiple threads running on all available processing cores and automatically merge the output into one result. HALCON 11 supports GPU processing based on the OpenCL standard. With HALCON 11, over 75 operators are currently supported on GPUs. That's more than any other software package on the market. Moreover, depth from focus (DFF), Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT), and HALCON's local deformable matching have been significantly accelerated. HALCON 11 lets you feel the speed in machine vision.

11 11 Sample-based Identification Becomes Reality Imagine your machine can identify any product only by sight without any bar or data code. HALCON 11 makes it true. HALCON 11 provides its unique sample-based identification. You only have to teach HALCON 11 your objects from a few different directions, and the software identifies similar to a human being your objects in any pose. This even works with warped objects or varying perspective views. No other software provides a similar technology. With HALCON 11, genuine object identification becomes reality.

12 12 With HALCON 11, genuine object identification becomes reality. Sample-based identification is capable to differentiate a large number of objects. This technology can recognize trained objects only based on characteristic features like color or texture, thereby eliminating the need to use special imprints like bar codes or data codes for object identification purposes. This even works with warped objects or varying perspective views of the object. An additional option is to learn an object from any side by using samples showing all relevant views. No other software provides a similar technology. HALCON 11 lets you enter new identification markets.
