Tutorial: Working with XLDs - MVTec HALCON

In this tutorial, you will work with XLDs in MVTec HALCON. XLDs, or extended line descriptions, comprise contours, polygons, and parallels. XLD contours are used and returned by many HALCON operators, so that’s the focus of this video.

First, we look at an application where we want to find a line and check its width. Then, we try to learn more about the circle sector in an image. In these two applications, we will get to know many different functionalities concerning XLDs, like the detection of lines and edges, attributes, the union and segmentation of XLDs, and the selection of XLDs according to features, fitting geometric primitives, and more.

Deep Learning Classification - MVTec Halcon(Deep Learning, Machine Vision Library)

With the MVTec Deep Learning Tool, it’s possible to train a deep-learning-based classification model from scratch.

First, we import images of your application – using the folder structure, the Deep Learning Tool can assign labels automatically. We can then review our data by filtering the images according to these labels.

After that, we train the model using transfer learning and pre-trained networks provided by MVTec.

Lastly, we can review the trained model in detail, using a confusion matrix, heatmaps, and more. Deep Learning Tool(version 0.5) used in this video.

HDevelop Tutorial 04: Working with regions - MVTec Halcon

Regions are a very powerful tool when working with MVTec HALCON. In this video, we learn how to segment an image using the Gray Histogram tool. The resulting region is then processed with morphology to separate touching objects. Lastly, using the features of the regions, like for example the circularity, we cluster different objects in separate regions.

Please contact Advance Ultravision Sdn. Bhd. to download the corresponding example program.

It includes a small exercise: Instead of using the region features, we want to use the gray value information of the image.
