Software interfacing with AVT Cameras
 is a comprehensive standard software library with an integrated development environment (IDE) for machine vision. HALCON's flexible architecture facilitates rapid development of machine vision, medical imaging, and image analysis applications. HALCON provides an extensive library of more than 1300 operators with outstanding performance for blob analysis, morphology, pattern matching, measuring, 3D object recognition, and binocular stereo vision, to name just a few. In addition,

 is based upon HALCON and is an application creator with graphical interface using a set of ActiveX controls with programmable interface. Thus ActivVisionTools inherits the speed, robustness, and accuracy of HALCON, but hides the complexity of image processing from the user – no programming required.
