Deep OCR - MVTec Halcon

With Deep OCR, MVTec introduces a holistic deep-learning-based approach for optical character recognition (OCR). 

Deep OCR can localize numbers and letters much more robustly, regardless of their orientation, font type, and polarity. The ability to group characters automatically allows the identification of whole words. This improves the recognition performance significantly and avoids the misinterpretation of characters with similar appearances.

Introduction to image filters with MVTec HALCON - MVTec Halcon

In this tutorial, you’ll learn about some of the most commonly used image filters in MVTec HALCON, how they work, and what they can be used for. First, we’ll have a look at some smoothing filters, in particular mean_image and median_image, and how filter masks work. 

Then, you’ll get to know some arithmetic filters, like sub_image, invert_image, and scale_image. Next, we have a look at many different applications that we can solve with these filters. Lastly, you’ll learn about what to look out for when using filters on images with reduced domains.
