HALCON

Sample list

There are two main categories of samples: Camera and Applications. The samples in the Camera category focus only on how to use the camera. The samples in the Applications category use the output generated by the camera, such as the 3D point cloud, a 2D image or other data from the camera. These samples shows how the data from the camera can be used.

    • Basic

      • Capture - Capture a 3D color point cloud from the camera and use it to generate a HALCON ObjectModel3D which is then visualized.

      • CaptureHDR - Capture an HDR image from the camera and use it to generate a HALCON ObjectModel3D which is then visualized.

      • CaptureHDRCompleteSettings - Capture an HDR image from the Zivid camera with fully configured settings for each frame.

      • CaptureSavePLY - Capture a 3D color point cloud from the camera and save it to a PLY file format.

      • CaptureWithSettingsFromJSON - Capture a 3D color point cloud from the camera and use it to generate a HALCON ObjectModel3D which is then visualized.

      • ConnectToSerialNumberCamera - Connect to a specific Zivid 3D camera based on its serial number.

    • Advanced

      • CaptureHDRLoop - Capture HDR images from the camera in a loop (while actively changing some HDR settings).

    • InfoUtilOther

      • QuerySettingsAndParameters - Query information about the image acquisition interface and selected specific parameters of Zivid camera.

Instructions

If you want to use Zivid in HALCON, we provide a GenICam GenTL producer that comes with the Zivid Software.

Zivid and HALCON are compatible with Windows 10 and 11, and Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, 24.04.

Note

Support for Ubuntu 18.04 is removed since SDK 2.10.

To setup and use Zivid in one of these operating systems, please follow their respective instructions in the following pages:

The following HALCON versions have been tested and confirmed to work with Zivid cameras:

  • 19.05 Progress, 20.05 Progress, 21.11 Progress

We recommend to use one of the HALCON versions we have tested.
