@MZ_Grundschrift:Version 5.6 of MVTec Merlic will be released on October 16. This includes a plug-in for communication with the Simatic S7 from Siemens. In addition, images can now also be retrieved via the Rest API interface, which is useful for embedding images directly into HTML websites. New tools include counting with deep learning, segmenting images with pixel precision, and color detection. A new method reads 2D data codes and evaluates their print quality in accordance with the AIM DPM-1-2006 and ISO/IEC15415 standards. The surface reconstruction with photometric stereo feature is available as a test concept tool. In addition, Global Context Anomaly Detection has been further developed, which understands the content of images and thus detects anomalies. @MZ_Grundschrift: Hall 8 | Booth C56
