Their features, such as Simple Matching and Clutter Matching, simplify image processing for greater precision, efficiency, and integration into programmes.

B&R vision functions carry out specialised image processing duties, either separately in a vision sensor or a series of functions in a smart camera. By encapsulating difficult HALCON program code in an intelligible interface, the new vision capabilities make it simple for automation programmers to configure advanced vision features and incorporate the results into the machine application. The Simple Matching function is easier to train because it has fewer argument options. When a picture is learnt directly from the application, it becomes an alternative to the edge-based standard matching algorithm. The Clutter Matching function can be used to specify an area within or surrounding a matching hit in which no clutter is permitted, which is useful in pick-and-place applications.

The Calibration function corrects inaccuracies caused by perspective or optical distortion by converting pixel values to metric values. These are required for metric data from a camera or for precision measurement at the subpixel level.

The Image Manipulation tool allows you to apply additional filters and image alterations for tasks like reading curved fonts. The Simple Logic & Mathematics function allows the intermediate results of one or more vision functions to be utilised directly on the camera to control subsequent image processing processes. These five new vision functions make image processing more adaptable and efficient than ever.
