You are correct that Halcon is a commercial offering. I understand
that it is very highly regarded. One of the Premier offerings in the arena
of Machine Vision is NIH Image, which is(or was) in the public domain. You
can find it at:

http://rsb.info.nih.gov/nih-image/Default.html

My company sells a Mac Based Machine Vision product called Image Analyst
and we've often been asked, why should I buy your product when I can get
most of its capabilities for free in NIH Image. (You didn't hear that from
me, though).

After checking Pong Suvan's apps/lib (http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/psksvp/),
I checked HALCON 5.2 (http://www.mvtec.com/), as was my intention.

HALCON looks like a very powerfull, well documented, well done and easy to
use (through HDeveloper and/or the COM version) software package.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but it has two disadvantages:

1) It looks like a *commercial* oriented package, well beyond my home Lego
robotic vision project. :(

2) It doesn't support general Video for Windows video cards/frame grabbers,
only specific models of frame grabbers.

So, I'll keep searching for a while and if I can't find any good
alternative, I'll stick to freeware Pong Suvan's good solution.

Any suggestions, links, etc.. on this subject are welcome to help me in
this project.

thxs :)

(...) Hi :) (...) Well, when you do, please keep us posted of your findings. I'll try and do the same, time permiting. (...)
