Extension Package "affine"

A new extension package called "affine" is now available for HALCON 5.2.x. This package contains five new operators for working with affine transformations. The operators are useful for alignment tasks where point correspondences are determined, for example, by pattern matching. Additionally, vector_to_rigid can be used in BGA inspection tasks also for the alignment of BGAs. You can read a more detailed description of the operators by following the links below:

	operator hom_mat2d_slant	in HDevelop syntax, in C++ syntax, or in C syntax
	operator hom_mat2d_to_affine_par	in HDevelop syntax, in C++ syntax, or in C syntax
	operator vector_angle_to_rigid	in HDevelop syntax, in C++ syntax, or in C syntax
	vector_to_rigid	in HDevelop syntax, in C++ syntax, or in C syntax
	operator vector_to_similarity	in HDevelop syntax, in C++ syntax, or in C syntax
