Matrox Imaging Library (MIL)
Release 8.0 with Processing Pack 3
Field-proven software development toolkit for machine vision, medical imaging and image analysis.

Extensive and highly-optimized imaging library
Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) is a high-level programming library with an extensive set of optimized functions for image capture, image processing (e.g., point-to-point, statistics, filtering, morphology, geometric transformations, FFT and segmentation), pattern recognition, registration5,6, blob analysis, edge extraction and analysis, measurement, metrology7,8, character recognition, 1D and 2D code reading, calibration, graphics, image compression, display and archiving.

Increased productivity
Designed to facilitate development and increase productivity, MIL offers a common C API that supports Matrox Imaging's entire hardware line, and an intuitive and easy-to-use function set. MIL also includes ready-made interactive dialogs4,9 for handling file I/O, adjusting function parameters, manipulating image data (e.g., for pattern recognition model and character recognition font definition), and managing results, all geared towards simplifying application development.

Rapid development
For fast Windows® application development, MIL comes bundled with ActiveMIL4, a collection of ActiveX controls (OCX) for managing image capture, processing, analysis, display and archiving. ActiveMIL lets you quickly and easily put together an imaging application with a custom, professional-looking Windows® user interface. Application development consists of drag and drop tool placement with point and click configuration, resulting in substantially less coding. With ActiveMIL, OEMs and integrators save development time by focusing on the imaging task rather than implementing the user interface.
