Interactive tools
Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) comes with a set of interactive tools to help assess application feasibility and create a prototype. These interactive tools also further enhance the productivity of application developers.
Matrox Inspector
Bundled with Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) is Matrox Inspector, an integrated imaging environment for 32-bit Windows®. Matrox Inspector provides an easy-to-use interface with point-and-click access to MIL image capture, processing, analysis, and archiving operations.
In addition to displaying images, Matrox Inspector presents processing and analysis results as tables and/or graphs, including trend and distribution, which are useful for tuning operation settings. Results can be shared with other Windows® applications, such as Microsoft® Excel®, for further analysis and reporting. The application also gives users with the ability to benchmark operations for accuracy and repeatability. In addition to making annotations, users can draw into images to perform measurements as well as touch-up and manually segment images. Matrox Inspector works with individual images or timed sequences of images stored in MIL-supported formats as well as DICOM.
Matrox Inspector also incorporates a rich scripting environment. MIL developers can record a sequence of manual operations in a script and easily apply it to a series of images. Scripts can be created in Microsoft® Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) or 'C'-like programming languages. Users can troubleshoot scripts using an integrated debugger.

Additional processing and analysis utilities
MIL includes a collection of interactive Windows®-based utilities for each key image processing and analysis tool. Intended for configuration and experimentation, each tool supports live image capture and processing as well as file I/O for individual or sequences of images. Tooltips over dialog controls provide a convenient cross-reference to actual MIL function calls.

Matrox Intellicam
MIL features the Matrox Intellicam image capture and frame grabber configuration utility. This Windows®-based program lets users interactively configure Matrox image capture hardware for a variety of image sources or simply try one of the numerous ready-made interfaces available from Matrox Imaging.
