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

This manual is a guide to <strong>HDevelop</strong> – the graphical user interface for HALCON. <strong>HDevelop</strong><br />

facilitates rapid prototyping by offering a highly interactive programming environment for designing<br />

and testing image analysis programs. Together with the HALCON library, it is a sophisticated<br />

image analysis package suitable for product development, research, and education.<br />

HALCON provides operators covering a wide range of applications: Factory automation, quality<br />

control, remote sensing, aerial image interpretation, medical image analysis, and surveillance<br />

tasks.<br />

This manual provides all necessary information to understand <strong>HDevelop</strong>’s basic philosophy and<br />

to use <strong>HDevelop</strong>.<br />

This manual is intended for all new users of HALCON. It does not assume that you are an<br />
