Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)

Seamless integration of powerful algorithms

K|Lens APIs offer a wide range of interfaces for the seamless integration of powerful algorithms into existing systems, support common programming languages and operating systems and enable flexible control via CLI or network commands.

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are interfaces that enable different software applications to communicate with each other and exchange data. They define rules and protocols that determine how applications can interact with each other to use functions or retrieve data. With K|Lens APIs, you can easily integrate our powerful algorithms into your existing systems and workflows. We offer you a wide range of interfaces to ensure smooth integration.

We offer APIs for C++, Python, Halcon and other common programming languages and support the most common operating systems and architectures. In addition, the individual algorithms can also be used as stand-alone applications that can be flexibly controlled via a command line interface (CLI) or network commands.

Important technical features

Support for industrial image formats

Our software supports a wide range of industry-standard image formats to enable seamless data exchange. This ensures that you can easily integrate your existing data into our systems without having to perform complex conversions.

APIs for flexible connections

The APIs of our individual components enable flexible connection and automated processes. Example: The depth calculation can be called up automatically after an image has been captured. Our APIs make it possible to reuse intermediate results of all our algorithms if they can be used for subsequent analyses.

Customizable workflows

Any workflows can be cast into rigid pipelines for repeated application. This is particularly useful for applications such as mass inspection in production lines or batch processing of large amounts of data.

Flexible module linking

The individual K|Lens modules can be flexibly linked together using Halcon, Python or C++. We use industry standards such as numpy and OpenCV to provide an interface that is as simple, fast and flexible as possible. This allows you to customize our software to your specific requirements and integrate it seamlessly into your existing workflows.

Customization

We also offer the option of customization to ensure that our software is perfectly tailored to your needs. This includes, for example, the adaptation of algorithms, the development of user-defined interfaces and integration with special hardware components.

Integration options

Provision of results from AI analyses

Our APIs process and provide results from our AI models Multiview AI and Multiview OCR efficiently and flexibly for your applications.

Processing and provision of 3D data

Our software enables the efficient further processing of depth maps and point clouds from depth calculation for a wide range of applications in 3D analysis and visualization.

Application Examples

lightfieldLAB

Light field laboratory system for the rapid generation of 3D point clouds

weldAI

Inspection of hairpin welding for electrical vehicles
