About This <strong>Manual</strong><br />

This manual gives an overview of the <strong>HALCON</strong>/<strong>COM</strong> interface. <strong>COM</strong> (“component object<br />

model”) is a Microsoft standard for component-based, language-independent software development.<br />

This manual contains all necessary information to install the <strong>COM</strong> interface and understand<br />

its main concepts; a guided example shows how to develop <strong>HALCON</strong> applications using<br />

Visual Basic.<br />

This manual is intended for the advanced <strong>HALCON</strong> user. You should be familiar with the<br />

main <strong>HALCON</strong> package and have experience in developing image analysis applications with<br />

HDevelop. Of course you must have knowledge about the language/tool you plan to develop<br />

with (e.g. Visual Basic).<br />

This manual is divided into the following parts:<br />

¯ Introduction<br />

This chapter provides a short overview of <strong>COM</strong> concepts in general.<br />

¯ The <strong>HALCON</strong>/<strong>COM</strong> Interface<br />

This chapter describes the structure of the <strong>HALCON</strong>/<strong>COM</strong> interface giving a quick<br />

overview, though not getting very deep into the details.<br />

¯ Example Session<br />

In this chapter a small image processing demo application is developed stepwise with<br />

Visual Basic.
