HALCON Progress 25.05 Released — Advancing AI-Based Vision with New Features and Performance Gains

MVTec Software GmbH has officially released HALCON Progress 25.05, the latest iteration of its powerful machine vision software library, designed to push the boundaries of industrial image processing and embedded vision applications.

What is HALCON?

HALCON is the comprehensive standard software for machine vision with an integrated development environment (HDevelop) that is used worldwide. It enables cost savings and improved time to market. HALCON’s flexible architecture facilitates rapid development of any kind of machine vision application.

HALCON Progress is the fast track to the latest features. With new releases approximately every six months, it gives access to the newest features quicker and more frequently than ever before. HALCON Progress development licenses are exclusively available via an annual subscription. A valid HALCON Progress development license grants access to all Progress releases within the subscription period.

What New Features does Halcon Progress 25.05 Offer?

This update brings a host of performance improvements and new features, continuing MVTec’s commitment to innovation in deep learning and machine vision technologies.

Among the highlights of HALCON Progress 25.05 are:

  • Enhanced Code Reader with QR Code Rectification
    • HALCON Version 25.05 has an improved code reader with QR code rectification, enabling reliable reading even on curved or deformed surfaces. This expands application possibilities in industries such as logistics, packaging, food production, and bottle labelling, where QR codes are often found on complex shaped surfaces.
  • Interruptible Training for Generic Shape Matching
    • The 25.05 release of HALCON adds the possibility to interrupt training for Generic Shape Matching, giving users greater flexibility and control over the process. Training can now be stopped manually or limited with a timeout (e.g., after 1 second), ensuring efficient operation without unnecessary waiting times.
  • New Image Acquisition Interface for Modern Camera Technology
    • HALCON 25.05 introduces a new set of image acquisition operators designed for seamless integration with state-of-the-art camera technology. While MVTec has always focused on efficient camera connectivity, modern standards like GigE Vision and USB3 Vision bring both new opportunities and new challenges. The new interface simplifies camera handling while providing full control over advanced configurations.

Multipix Imaging is proud to offer the latest HALCON release. Whether you’re developing a high-speed inspection system, an AI-based sorting solution, or an embedded vision device, HALCON Progress 25.05 offers the tools you need to build faster, smarter, and more reliable vision systems.
