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.
Camera
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.
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.
Warmup - A basic warm-up method for a Zivid camera with specified time and capture cycle.
Applications
Basic
FileFormats
ReadPLY - Import and display a Zivid point cloud from a PLY file.
Advanced
ObjectMatching
SurfaceMatchingCreateModel - Create a model for HALCON surface-based 3D matching algorithm from a Zivid point cloud captured by a camera.
SurfaceMatchingCreateModelFromFile - Create a model for HALCON surface-based 3D matching algorithm from a Zivid point cloud loaded from a ZDF file.
SurfaceMatchingFindModel - Utilize surface-based 3D matching on data taken with a Zivid camera.
SurfaceMatchingFindModelFromFile - Utilize surface-based 3D matching on data taken with a 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 Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, 22.04.
Note
Support for Ubuntu 16.04 is removed since SDK 2.7.
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.
