The software framework MTS is a standardised environment for integrating hardware (e.g. cameras from IDS), datasets, algorithms and software into a complex image processing solution. The most important components are a uniform interface for integrating the hardware, an error catalogue with which the parameters can be automatically optimised and a library of functions and GUI elements for creating software for industrial image processing. The StateMachine Editor can also be used to describe the states and sequences and to control all components. All inspection results are statistically recorded and visualised. A connection of the software to Halcon, OpenCV and ITTK is easily feasible.
