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.

Working with Dictionaries - MVTec HALCON

In this tutorial, you will learn how to work with Dictionaries in MVTec HALCON. First, you will learn how to create dictionaries and assign values to them, both with the available operators and the access expressions. Additionally, we will look at both the static and dynamic syntax of the access expressions. 

After that, we also want to access the values we stored in the dictionaries. Lastly, you will learn more about some uses cases for dictionaries, like the communication via JSON or the usage of dictionaries as generic input or output parameters of procedures.

Basic: How Computer Vision Work?

Today we’re going to talk about how computers see. We’ve long known that our digital cameras and smartphones can take detailed images, but taking pictures is not quite the same thing. 

For the past half-century, computer scientists have been working to help the computer understand the imagery they capture. 

From tracking hands and whole bodies, biometrics to unlock our phones, and giving autonomous cars the ability to understand their surroundings.
