HALCON 13 Preview: New Texture Inspection tool version made EASIER

Different materials characteristics makes inspecting for texture a difficult task considering the uniqueness and variability of each type of textured surface and building a robust application that can adjust for features like scale or brightness is a tricky and time-consuming process.

Halcon 13 has relieved the burden with its new tool for easy-to-use texture inspection and, while HALCON has provided the necessary functions for texture inspection for many years, the ease-of-use will be greatly improved with this new version.

Configured by passing some training images of "correct" texture by using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) classification on multiple levels of an image pyramid. The trained texture inspection model can then be used to detect potential texture defects.
