Software

To operate Matrox Morphis QxT, 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 Morphis QxT. 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),
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. With Matrox Intellicam, you can change the size and position
of the active region by creating a custom digitizer configuration format (DCF)
file, which MIL and its derivatives use to interface to video sources. Matrox
Intellicam is included with all Matrox Imaging software products.
