Data transfer
Under optimum conditions, Matrox Radient eCL can exchange data with the
Host at a peak transfer rate of up to 2 Gbytes/sec, but can sustain a transfer rate
of up to 1750 Mbytes/sec. Optimum conditions include using the board in a PCIe
slot with 8 active lanes, using a 256-byte payload. DMA read and write
performances are chipset and computer dependent, and are slightly affected by
the image size and alignment in Host memory (frame start address and line pitch).
Software
To operate Matrox Radient eCL, you can use one or more Matrox Imaging
software products that supports the board. These are the Matrox Imaging Library
(MIL) and its derivatives (for example, MIL-Lite and Matrox Intellicam). All
Matrox software is supported under Windows; MIL is also supported under Linux
when using Matrox Radient eCL. Consult your software manual for supported
versions of these operating systems.
MIL is a high-level programming library with an extensive set of optimized
functions for image capture, processing, analysis, transfer, compression, display,
and archiving. Image processing operations include point-to-point, statistical,
spatial filtering, morphological, geometric transformation, and FFT operations.
Analysis operations support calibration, are performed with sub-pixel accuracy,
and include pattern recognition (normalized grayscale correlation and Geometric
Model Finder), blob analysis, edge extraction and analysis, measurement, image
registration, metrology, character recognition (template-based and feature-based),
code recognition and verification (1D, 2D and composite code types), bead
inspection, 3D reconstruction, and color analysis.
MIL applications are easily ported to new Matrox hardware platforms and can be
designed to take advantage of multi-processing and multi-threading
environments.
MIL-Lite is a subset of MIL. It includes all the MIL functions for image
acquisition, transfer, display control, and archiving. It also allows you to perform
processing operations that are typically useful to pre-process grabbed images.
Matrox Intellicam is an interactive Windows program that allows for fast video
source interfacing and provides interactive access to all the acquisition features of
your Matrox board. Matrox Intellicam also has the ability to create custom digitizer
