MVTec 于 2025 年 4 月 3 日发布了新版本 MERLIC 5.7。新版本 5.7 提高了 MERLIC 运行环境（RTE） 的可用性，并优化了通信接口的操作。 MVTec MERLIC 集成了强大的传统机器视觉方法和最先进的深度学习技术。此外，其图形化用户界面可帮助用户直观地创建完整的机器视觉应用。
MERLIC 5.7 通过直接在 MERLIC 运行环境 (RTE) 中管理通信插件，优化了与机器控制系统的集成。这减少了组件，提高了可用性并简化了部署。此外，MERLIC 前端现在可用于 Linux，并可用作远程前端，从而实现灵活的系统架构。新的示例 Docker 文件和脚本有助于容器化部署和集成到现有工作流程中。
在 MERLIC 5.7 中，MERLIC 与机器控制系统的集成流程得到了进一步优化。现在，配置和运行通信插件仅需 MERLIC Runtime Environment (RTE)，无需像之前的版本那样启动和管理额外的进程。
通过将插件管理集成到 RTE，减少了所需的组件，提升了可用性，并进一步简化了部署流程。例如，现在可以并行运行两个 MERLIC RTE 实例，而无需手动配置端口。此外，插件消息现已直接记录在 MERLIC RTE 日志文件中，大大简化了调试过程。
MERLIC 前端现已支持 Linux
除了 MERLIC 运行环境 (RTE) 之外，MERLIC 前端 (Frontend) 现在也支持 Linux。从 MERLIC 5.7 开始，用户可以直接在 Linux 系统上可视化图像处理结果。
MERLIC 前端不仅可以在本地运行，还可以作为远程前端在独立的 Linux 系统上运行。这种灵活的系统架构允许将图像处理和可视化分离，以优化资源使用，例如：在独立终端上运行前端，或通过网络实现远程监控。
示例 Dockerfiles 和脚本用于容器化部署
提供 Dockerfiles 和相关脚本，以便在容器化环境中轻松部署 MERLIC。这些示例可用于快速设置 MERLIC 运行环境 (RTE) 和 MERLIC 前端 (Frontend)，实现更灵活、可扩展的部署方式，适用于工业自动化和云端应用。

Supported Operating SystemsMERLIC is available for Windows and Linux systems. On Windows, all components of MERLIC can be used. For Linux systems, currently only the runtime environment of MERLIC , MERLIC RTE , and MERLIC Frontend are available.
WindowsMERLIC 5.7.1 is available for Windows 10 ( 64-bit , version 1903) or newer.
LinuxMERLIC RTE and MERLIC Frontend are available on PC-based and Arm-based Linux systems (kernel version 5.4 or newer).
Developing the MERLIC Vision App is still done on a Windows system with the MERLIC Creator. The application can then be used with MERLIC RTE and MERLIC Frontend on the Linux system. Cameras can be set up remotely with the help of MERLIC RTE Setup .
System RequirementsA detailed description of the system requirements for installing and using MERLIC on Windows and Linux systems is provided in the MERLIC manual on the page System Requirements .
Image Source Manager- Enhancements
- The image acquisition interfaces that are used for the Image Source Manager (ISM) as well as for the tools "Acquire Image from Camera" and "Acquire Image from File", respectively, have been updated to a new revision. MERLIC now contains the following versions of the interfaces:
- GigEVision2: Revision 24.11.21
- GenICamGenTL: Revision 24.11.21
- USB3Vision: Revision 24.11.25
- File: Revision 18.11.5
MERLIC RTE Setup- Fixed Problems
- MERLIC RTE did not shut down properly on Windows when closing the console window or using Ctrl+Break instead of Ctrl+C. As a consequence, a connected MERLIC RTE Setup did not update the tabs to reflect the lost connection. Instead, it was still offering to configure image sources and communication plug-ins, while not allowing to configure recipes and I/O devices. This problem has been fixed.
MERLIC Creator- Fixed Problems
- If MERLIC Creator crashes, MERLIC shows a message dialog and tries to save the current MVApp as backup. After closing the dialog, the MERLIC Creator window remained open. However, the window was unresponsive and could only be closed by force-quitting the application. This problem has been fixed. In case MERLIC Creator crashes, it will now exit after closing the respective message dialog.
MERLIC Designer- Fixed Problems
- The .ts translation files generated by the "Export Translation Files (.ts)" feature of the Frontend Designer were missing entries for error texts for languages other than English (en_US), German (de_DE), Japanese (ja_JP), and simplified Chinese (zh_CN). This problem has been fixed.
Examples- Enhancements
- The MVApp example "evaluate_ecc_200_print_quality.mvapp" has been improved. The set of images used in the example MVApp has been changed to show effects of different disturbances to the print quality measurement. The new images each contain an additional text which indicates the expected change of the print quality measurement.
Documentation- Fixed Problems
- In the MERLIC manual, the information on the system requirements was not complete. The required libraries to run MERLIC Frontend on Linux systems were missing. This problem has been fixed. The list of required libraries has been updated. The libraries are described as available in the Ubuntu package manager. Please be aware that other distributions use different names for these packages.
- In the Communication Plug-in Development manual, an example command line invocation on page "Getting Started with Plug-in Development" used the --plugin argument misleadingly. This problem has been fixed. The example usage has been changed and its behavior is now clarified.
Release Notes Linux Systems OnlyIn this section, you can find the release notes that apply only for Linux systems.
- If the recipe path in the INI configuration file wrongly pointed to a directory instead of a file, MERLIC RTE on Linux crashed. This problem has been fixed. To simplify troubleshooting, MERLIC RTE will now exit with a more descriptive message if a recipe file cannot be opened, regardless of whether it points to a file or a directory.
Known IssuesThe following issue is already known and in development process. It will be fixed for upcoming releases.
- In frequent cases, when using TensorRT™ accelerated processing units in MERLIC tools with deep learning technology, MERLIC crashes if the required memory for the deep learning model exceeds the available memory on the GPU.
- When an instance of MERLIC Creator or MERLIC RTE of version 5.0 is remotely configured using a MERLIC RTE Setup 5.1 or newer, removing an image source from a configuration will cause the Creator or RTE application to crash. We recommend to upgrade Creator/RTE to the current version or, in lieu of that, to use RTE Setup 5.0 to configure Creator/RTE 5.0.
- When an instance of MERLIC Creator or MERLIC RTE of version 5.2 (or newer) is remotely configured using a MERLIC RTE Setup 5.1, it is not possible to rename image sources or configurations, despite the fact that this feature has been added in MERLIC 5.1. We recommend upgrading the MERLIC RTE Setup to version 5.2.
