22 Chapter 1: Introduction
Software
To operate Matrox Solios, you can use one or more Matrox Imaging software
products that supports the board. These are the Matrox Imaging Library (MIL)
and its derivatives (MIL-Lite, ActiveMIL, ActiveMIL-Lite, Matrox Inspector, and
Matrox Intellicam). All Matrox software is supported under Windows; consult
your software manual for supported Windows environments.
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 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,
metrology, character recognition (template-based and feature-based), and code
recognition (1D, 2D and composite code types).
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
1
processing operations that are typically useful to pre-process grabbed images.
ActiveMIL ActiveMIL is a set of ActiveX controls that are based on MIL. ActiveMIL was
designed for rapid application development (RAD) tools, such as Microsoft’s
Visual Basic.Net. ActiveMIL is included with MIL (ActiveMIL-Lite is included
with MIL-Lite).
Matrox Inspector Matrox Inspector is an interactive Windows application for image capture,
processing, analysis, and archiving. Matrox Inspector is included
1
with MIL. MIL
application developers can use Matrox Inspector as a prototyping tool to quickly
build proof-of-concept demonstrations. End users can use Matrox Inspector to
perform and automate image enhancement and measurement tasks.
