Abstract

Based on HALCON machine vision technology, the application advantages and practical effects in the fields of target localization, dimensional measurement, defect detection, and classification recognition were analyzed. Specific examples were combined to discuss HALCON’s performance in complex, precise measurement and real-time recognition and inspection tasks, demonstrating its efficient vision solutions in the industrial, electronics, food, and aviation industries. Finally, the challenges faced by the current technology were discussed, and future development directions were proposed to promote its application and progress in various industries.
