Matrox Electronic Systems 10760-101-0200 manual Matrix/bar code reading, and calibration, MIL-Lite

10Chapter 1: Introduction

✁Note that, although other software products might be available to operate Matrox Meteor-II /Camera Link, the discussion throughout this manual is based in terms of Matrox Imaging software products.

MIL	MIL is a development library which provides an extensive list of commands used
	to capture, process, analyze, transfer, display, and archive images. Processing and
	analysis operations include: spatial filtering operations, morphological operations,
	measurements, blob analysis, optical character recognition (OCR), pattern
	recognition (Normalized Grayscale Correlation and Geometric Model Finder),
	matrix/bar code reading, and calibration.
MIL-Lite	MIL-Lite is a subset of MIL. It includes all the MIL commands for image
	acquisition, transfer, display control, and archiving.
ActiveMIL	ActiveMIL is a set of ActiveX controls that are based on MIL. ActiveMIL was
	designed for rapid application development (RAD) tools, such as Microsoft’s
	Visual Basic. ActiveMIL is included with MIL (ActiveMIL-Lite is included with
	MIL-Lite).
Matrox Inspector	Matrox Inspector is an interactive Windows application for image capture,
	processing, analysis, and archiving.
	MIL application developers can use Matrox Inspector as a prototyping tool to
	quickly build proof-of-concept demonstrations for their machine vision, image
	analysis, and medical imaging system. End users can use Matrox Inspector to
	perform and automate image enhancement and measurement tasks.
Matrox Intellicam	Matrox Intellicam is an interactive Windows program that allows fast camera
	interfacing and provides interactive access to all the acquisition features of your
	Matrox board. For boards that accept non-standard video sources, Matrox
	Intellicam also has the ability to create custom digitizer configuration format
	(DCF) files, which MIL and its derivatives use to interface to specific non-standard
	video sources. Matrox Intellicam is included with MIL /ActiveMIL and MIL-Lite
	/ActiveMIL-Lite.
