To learn more and to get a chance to ask questions and have them answered directly by the experts, join Toradex upcoming webinar scheduled for 26 April 2018. Participants will experience the use of HPeek and will learn how to develop a first “hello world” program with HALCON.

HPeek enables evaluation of the functionality of MVTec HALCON, the comprehensive standard software for machine vision with an integrated environment (HDevelop). HALCON is used widely across many industries - it simplifies tasks such as blob analysis, morphology, matching, measuring, identification, and 3D vision. To accelerate the execution, it supports Arm® NEON as well as GPU acceleration.

"We are very happy about the collaboration with Toradex and are looking forward to our joint webinar. MVTec HALCON is banking on Toradex embedded Arm-based computer modules. In conjunction with HALCON, these modules are ideally suited for embedded vision applications" says Christoph Wagner, Product Manager Embedded Vision at MVTec Software GmbH. Examples for these modules are Computer on Modules (CoMs), Apalis TK1, and Apalis iMX6. "Having the possibility to download HPeek directly via the Toradex Easy Installer will be of great benefit for customers. With HPeek they experience a first hands-on impression of HALCONs power in combination with the aforementioned CoMs: The key features of HALCON, including application examples, are shown in a screen presentation, and the examples (including runtime measurements) are executed directly on the device. This makes HPeek a great benchmarking tool to evaluate HALCON's performance on Toradex boards." he adds.

"It is great to welcome MVTec to our partner network. For our customers, this collaboration means a leading machine vision tool chain is ready-to-use, thus lowering the risk and time-to-market. Toradex believes industrial machine vision will experience strong growth and we are backing this up with a product line up ideal for vision tasks; such as the brand new Apalis i.MX8 QuadMax or the Apalis NVIDIA Tegra TK1." says Daniel Lang, Chief Marketing Officer at Toradex.
