Introduction of "Machine Vision" Halcon Software

Introduction to Halcon Software

It has been mentioned before that Halcon is a powerful software. When writing programs, it mainly calls Halcon operators to process images and get desired region and region data, such as area, length, width, Row & Column, etc., and can also be displayed by text output. So we need to understand the Halcon software, so that we can better use the various functions of Halcon to help you develop the Halcon program.

Halcon Software Interface

Halcon software

Graphic Window

The main display image, can display the original image before processing, can also display the region after processing, so as to facilitate the debugging program output results;

Variable window

When writing a program, it will certainly use a variety of variables, such as image, region, ROI, rectangle, circle, array variables and so on.

Program window

Mainly to write programs, can also write program function description, can facilitate the reader to understand the function of the program;

Menu Bar (Emphasizing Commonly Used Places) > File (F): You need to learn the "export" function;

Document (F)

> Editor (E): The "activation" & "logout" function is often used in debugging programs.

Editor (E)

> Execution (x): Debugging program should master the debugging functions of setting breakpoints, activating breakpoints, clearing breakpoints, single-step debugging, etc.

It is very convenient to debug the program.

Execution (x)

> Visualization (V): Mainly set output parameters, such as color, fill or margin, line width, shape and so on, a simple understanding can be;

visualization

> Function (P): You don't need to know it here.

function

> Operator (O): Halcon classifies all operators and can directly select the operators needed, so that they can be directly imported into the program window. It is suggested that we take some time to understand some common operators.

operator

> Suggestion (S): Halcon's suggestions for the next step can be appropriately used when writing programs. This function can only be used as a reference.

proposal

> Assistant (A): This is very important. We need to master how to create image acquisition, camera calibration, template matching, measurement and OCR.

assistant

> Windows (W): When writing programs, you may need to move graphics windows, variable windows, program windows. After moving, windows may be more disorderly, at this time you can arrange windows, etc.

window

> Help (H): Halcon provides many documents and all operator parameter descriptions. Learn Halcon's advice to see more help documents.
