Software
To operate your Matrox Rapixo CL Pro, you can use one or more Matrox Imaging
software products that supports the board. These are the Matrox Imaging Library
(MIL) and its derivatives (for example, MIL-Lite and Matrox Intellicam). All
Matrox software is supported under Windows; MIL is also supported under Linux
when using Matrox Rapixo CL Pro. Consult your software manual for supported
versions of these operating systems.
MIL
MIL is a high-level programming library with an extensive set of optimized
functions for image capture, processing, analysis, transfer, compression, display,
and archiving. Image processing operations include point-to-point, statistical,
spatial filtering, morphological, geometric transformation, and FFT operations.
Analysis operations support camera calibration, are performed with sub-pixel
accuracy, and include pattern recognition (normalized grayscale correlation and
Geometric Model Finder), blob analysis, edge extraction and analysis,
measurement, image registration, metrology, character recognition
(template-based and for both normal and dot-matrix text, feature-based), code
reading and verification (1D, 2D and composite code types), bead (continuous
strips of material) inspection, 3D reconstruction, 3D processing, 3D analysis,
classification, and color analysis.
MIL applications are easily ported to new Matrox hardware platforms and can be
designed to take advantage of multi-processing and multi-threading
environments.
MIL-Lite
MIL-Lite is a subset of MIL. It includes all the MIL functions for image
acquisition, transfer, display control, and archiving. It also allows you to perform
processing operations that are typically useful to pre-process grabbed images.
Matrox Intellicam
Matrox Intellicam is an interactive Windows program that allows for fast video
source interfacing and provides interactive access to all the acquisition features of
your Matrox board. Matrox Intellicam also has the ability to create custom digitizer
configuration format (DCF) files, which MIL and its derivatives use to interface
with specific non-standard video sources. Matrox Intellicam is included with all
Matrox Imaging software products.
