Image Analysis Software
GLI/2 – A Complete Image
Analysis Solution
GLI/2 is a complete, customizable image
analysis package that is ideal for scientific
and general-purpose imaging applications
requiring measuring, classifying, edgetracking, counting, size distribution analysis, as well as other measurement and
analysis tasks. Providing multiple program
development levels and a complete library
of image analysis tools, GLI/2 is the all-inone solution you need to solve your complex imaging applications.
Easy, Flexible Program Generation
Designed for a wide range of users with
different expertise levels, GLI/2 provides
three different development levels for
program generation flexibility. You can
use GLI/2 three different ways:
❶ As an out-of-the-box, stand-alone
imaging application with an extensive
selection of pre-defined image processing
and analysis tools. Use the Point & Click
Script tool to quickly build programs by
adding the tools you want to use your
script — all graphically and without writing code.
❷ As a development environment for
creating custom imaging applications —
using GLI/2’s object-oriented API function
calls.
❸ As a base for the addition of custom
imaging tools — simply modify the library
of tools included or create your own using
the underlying object-oriented API function calls.
With its multiple development levels,
you can use GLI/2 in the way that best
suits your programming expertise.
Extensive Tool Library
GLI/2 provides an extensive library of
tools, each useable individually in a Point
& Click script. All tool user interfaces
have been designed for ease-of-use and
quick implementation.

parameters of the image in calibrated
units. Functions include Height, Width,
Roundness, Perimeter, Min/Max
Distance, Perpendicular Distance, Line
Length, Color Average, Intersection Angle.
Line Profile Tool
The Line Profile Tool lets you create and analyze line profiles of
images. It allows you to add an unlimited
number of line profiles to the same graph.
You can add line profiles from multiple
images and multiple viewports. This tool
supports all three line ROI types (straight,
poly, and freehand) and they can be any
thickness for smoothing out noisy images.
You can take any derivative you like and
then find edges, sets of edges, peaks, and
sets of peaks easily and automatically.

The Line Profile Tool also allows you to
measure distances along lines with calibrated sub-pixel accuracy.
Histogram Tool
The Histogram Tool lets you
create histograms of images, and
allows multiple histograms to be placed
on the same graph for easy comparison.
The graphs can be easily customized,
sized, zoomed, printed, and more.
Match Tool
The Match Tool compares the captured image to a known image and
correlates a percentage score.
Image Pre-Processing Tools:
Arithmetic Tool
The Arithmetic Tool performs
multiple arithmetic operations
on two input images, placing the result
in an output image.
Filter Tool
The Filter Tool lets you perform
a filter (convolution) on a given
image. The tool supports a large number
of popular filters like Mean, Sobel, and
Laplacian, and allows for adding custom
single or dual kernels from 1x1 up to 7x7.
Threshold Tool
The Threshold Tool lets you create a binary image. It provides
true color thresholding, multiple region
thresholding with histogram support, and
automatic thresholding. You can perform
threshold operations on monochrome,
RGB, and HSL and image data.
Morphology Tool
The Morphology Tool lets you
run binary morphology operations
on a binary image. It provides Erosion,
Dilation, Opening, Closing,
Skeletonization, and Watershed
morphological operations.
Polar Unwrap Tool
The Polar Unwrap Tool takes a
circular image and transforms it
from polar co-ordinates to rectangular co-ordinates by using bi-linear interpolation/re-mapping operations.
System Utility/File Utility Tools:
Calibration Tool
The Calibration Tool takes four
pairs of pixel-to-real world coordinate points and creates a calibration
object. You can have multiple calibration
objects in the system at once, allowing
you to support a multiple-camera system.
Calibration objects can be renamed and
saved/restored to/from disk as needed.
The tool supports sub-pixel measurements. It also supports a Full Projective
Transformation so your camera can be
located anywhere with respect to an
object; it does not have to be normal
to the plane.
Enhanced ROI Manager Tool
The ROI Manager Tool lets you
create and analyze ROIs. The tool
supports point, rectangular, elliptical,
straight line, polyline, freehand line, polyfreehand and freehand ROIs. You can add
similar groups of ROIs that are aligned
with one another quickly and easily.
Enhancements in version 3.7 allow you to
specify the color of an ROI, and to shift an
ROI to a specified reference point.
File Manager Tool
The File Manager Tool lets you
open images from disk in any
of 23 popular file formats, and write
images in either Windows BMP or TIFF
file formats.
Text Tool
The Text Tool lets you create multiline text that can be edited and
positioned in the image. You can specify
background and foreground color (including transparent), place the text in the
image or in its transparent overlay, and
specify size and font.
Pixel Change Tool
The Pixel Change Tool lets you
easily modify pixel values in an
image or the image’s transparent overlay.
Image Manager Tool
The Image Manager Tool lets you
easily manage images in memory.
You can view a list of images in memory,
determine the name and attributes of
each image, view a thumbnail of an
image, delete an image, open an image
into the active viewport, create a new
image, or rename an image.
Digital I/O Tool
The Digital I/O Tool allows all
supported Digital Input/Output
boards to interface to external peripherals.
Serial I/O Tool
The Serial I/O Tool lets you send
and receive data through the
serial port(s) of your PC, enabling you to
interface GLI/2 to peripheral equipment.
Sound Tool
The Sound Tool lets you play
WAV sound files using any
standard, configured sound card.
Color Plane Tool
The Color Plane Tool lets you perform operations on RSG, HSL,
and YIQ color images to extract and separate chromatic information. The chromatic
data can then be used for performing
operations with other tools that handle
color data, such as the Gauge Tool, Blob
Tool, Histogram Tool, and Threshold Tool.
Enhanced Edge Finder Tool
The Edge Finder Tool fine-tunes
the detection of edges from a binary image, particularly in noisy images and
when there are gaps in the image, and
extracts the edges and contours. The
resultant edge(s) can be used for performing precise measurements with the Gauge
Tool. Enhancements in version 3.7 allow
you to specify the color of an ROI, and to
filter closed contours based on their pixel
area.
Enhanced ROI Shape Fitter Tool
The ROI Shape Fitter Tool allows
ROIs to be fit to a particular edge
or contour found within a binary image
by transforming them into the appropriate
shape. This is useful for fitting straight
lines to edges, and circles to arcs. The fitted ROIs can also be used by other tools
for additional measurements.
Enhancements in version 3.7 allow you to
specify a reference line ROI that defines
the axis for either an intersection fit,
resulting in a point ROI, or an orthogonal
line fit, resulting in a line ROI.
Import/Export Tool
The Import/Export Tools allow
you to import and export variable data and images in real-time
between GLI/2 and external applications, such as Visual Basic, Delphi, and
MATLAB.
