Multipix Imaging is pleased to announce the upcoming release of HALCON 25.11 is scheduled to launch on 12 November 2025.
This new version brings a range of advanced features that further enhance performance, flexibility and usability of HALCON for industrial and embedded vision applications.
Key highlights:
- Continual Learning – Classification: HALCON 25.11 introduces a new technology that enables creating and updating classification models with minimal data per class and without full retraining. This allows adaption to changing production conditions, including on edge devices with limited computing power.
- Score Visualization for Shape Matching: Users gain clear visual feedback on shape matching by seeing how individual model parts contribute to the result—making model setup and optimisation far more intuitive, even for less-experienced users.
- Optimised Deep OCR Models: The new release delivers OCR models that are faster (up to ~50× improved inference time on embedded devices), more resource-efficient and still highly accurate—ideal for inline ID reading, label verification, lot tracking and other high-volume tasks.
- MobileNetV4 Support: HALCON 25.11 adds support for the efficient MobileNetV4 deep learning architecture for classification and object detection—tailored for resource-constrained and edge systems.
- Code Reading & Print Quality Inspection Improvements: Enhanced QR code detection (especially on curved/deformed surfaces), improved bar code reading (Code 128/GS1-128) and added compliance with the latest print-quality standards (ISO/IEC 15415:2024 and ISO/IEC 29158:2025) boost reliability across logistics, packaging, food and medical applications.
- Built-in SBOMs for Compliance: HALCON 25.11 now includes Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) delivered as SPDX JSON files, making regulatory compliance, vulnerability licensing and lifecycle management significantly simpler.
- HDevelopEVO Enhancements: The preview of HALCON’s Script Engine (via C++ API), improved syntax highlighting and tools like a real-time histogram in threshold operators bring greater developer productivity and smoother migration from legacy codebases.
How can the Latest Version of Halcon help you?
With HALCON 25.11, vision system integrators and OEMs gain more powerful tools for tackling complex inspection, automation and embedded use-cases. The enhancements mean faster deployment, easier adaptability, better performance on edge devices and stronger support for regulatory and quality demands. At Multipix Imaging we believe this release will open new opportunities to optimise your vision systems and reduce development maintenance effort.
