New release includes faster enhancements

HALCON 8.0 provides more than 100 new operators and, for typical applications, the speed of the software library was enhanced by 25%, with single-operator speed increased up to 500%. The software's integrated development environment (IDE) for machine vision--HDevelop and HDevEngine--now provides assistants to simplify the generation of frequently used operator sequences. Other enhancements include: third-generation matching for 3-D objects, shape-based matching in color images (multichannel images), new operators for improved OCR performance, and HALCON/.NET interface. 3-D matching finds objects in arbitrary 3-D poses based on a CAD model; only one image taken by a single camera is necessary. CAD models are stored in DXF format.
