MVTec Software has expanded its series of Halcon Embedded versions with the release of Halcon Embedded for OMAP4 processors. With this release, the entire Halcon functionality is available for OMAP4 processors.
The OMAP4 processor by Texas Instruments was especially designed for mobile devices such as tablets or smart phones. Its performance is comparable to the Intel Atom processor, but the OMAP4 consumes less power.
The OMAP4 processor is equipped with two cores. This is notably interesting for Halcon users because Halcon’s automatic operator parallelisation (AOP) automatically distributes the image processing task to multiple threads, one for each core. AOP generates a distinct speed-up without the necessity of writing any code.
