Software overview
To develop imaging applications for your Matrox Iris GT, you must have a copy
of the Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) development software and Microsoft Visual
Studio development environment installed on your computer (making it your
development computer).
❖ Note that the runtime version of MIL comes pre-installed on your
Matrox Iris GT. All Matrox Imaging software is supported under Microsoft
Windows. Consult your software manual for supported versions of these operating
systems.
To operate Matrox Iris GT, you can use one or more Matrox Imaging software
products that supports the smart camera. These are the Matrox Imaging Library
(MIL) and Matrox Design Assistant. Matrox Iris GT with MIL is distributed with
the runtime version of MIL. All Matrox Imaging software is supported under
Microsoft Windows. Consult your software manual for supported versions of these
operating systems.
MIL is a high-level programming library with an extensive set of optimized
MIL
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,
metrology, character recognition (template-based and feature-based), code
recognition and verification (1D, 2D and composite code types),
3D reconstruction, and color analysis.
MIL applications are easily ported to new Matrox hardware platforms.
