Vision System MICRO-IMAGECHECKER
AX40
The color information data captured by the CCD camera are converted into three color attributes, Hue,
Saturation and Luminosity which are closer to the human sense. The AX40 extracts the color and executes an
inspection based on this color system.
The AX40 ensures the high accuracy image processing not only using the color extraction processing but also
using the Gray scale processing and the Differential processing together.
Color Extraction and Displaly Image
Color Extraction
Specifying the particular color in the color image is called "Color Extraction." At this point, specified color is called "Extracted
color". The specified part in the image is called "Extracted part" and not specified part is called "Not Extracted part."
You can register 8 colors (Group A to H) in one product type. (Fig.1)
Display Image
A color extracted image is called an extracted image and an inspection is executed based on this image.
To switch the display image, press the B key in the setting mode and select "Display Color..." and then specify the group to be
displayed. (Fig. 2)
Displaying the extracted image, only the extacted part is colored and others (Not Extracted part) are displayed in gray-
