Embedded describes the version of Windows NT Embedded
that can be purchased with Matrox 4Sight, as well as how to
perform several common tasks under this operating system.
MIL is the Matrox Imaging Library. It contains commands that
allow you to capture, process, analyze, transfer, and display
images. Processing and analysis operations include: geometric
transformations, morphological operations, measurements,
blob analysis, optical character recognition (OCR), pattern
matching, matrix/bar code reading, and calibration.
MIL-Lite is a subset of MIL. It contains all the MIL commands
for image capture, transfer, and display, but none of MIL's
processing commands.
In order to develop a MIL or MIL-Lite application, you must
purchase MIL or MIL-Lite separately. Installation and
licensing requirements are described in the accompanying
documentation.
The MIL/MIL-Lite packages include ActiveMIL/
ActiveMIL-Lite. This is a set of ActiveX controls based on
MIL/MIL-Lite and designed for tools such as Microsoft's Visual
Basic and Microsoft's Visual C++.
The MIL/MIL-Lite package also includes Matrox Intellicam.
This is an interactive Windows program that allows fast camera
interfacing and interactive access to the functionality of any
Matrox frame grabber (in this case, a Matrox Meteor-II frame
grabber for PC/104-Plus). Matrox Intellicam is not supported
under an embedded operating system. However, if Matrox
Intellicam is installed on your development computer, you can
create DCF files, which can then be used on Matrox 4Sight.
