Page 118 Configuring Measurement This section describes how to configure the measurement according to the images acquired from cameras. Comprehensive Processing Items for measurement are available in this product. Herein, the common configuration for various Processing Items is described.
Page 119 Configuring Color Processing The images acquired from cameras are available with color information such as R(Red)/G(Green)/B(Blue). RGB images allow to adjusting color intensity within the range of 0 to 255, while 16.7 million colors are rendered on the screen. It indicates black color in the case of RGB=0, or white color in the case of RGB=255. During measurement of color images, many colors can be measurement by adjusting RGB.
Page 120 Configuring Search Reference image pattern can be registered as Model beforehand, and then the most similar part are found out from input images by search. Since the degree of similarity is represented by approximate value, scratch and mixing of variants can be checked. Search is carried out in several times.
Page 121 Search Measurement Way There are two measurement ways for search, i.e. Search by "Correlation (CR)" and by "Shape (PT)". Detection method can be selected by changing the "Rotation" settings for each processing unit. Correlation (CR) Measure if there is a high degree of color similarity between input images and images for Model registration.
Page 122 Search Speed For "search" processing items, such as [Search] and [Classification], you can control the speed of the search by specifying the "Stable", "Precise", and/or "Skipping angle" item among the model parameters. If the value specified for "Stable" or "Precise" is small or if the value for "Skipping angle"...
Page 124 Edge Measurement This measurement method will extract the parts with color changed as edges, and find out edges according to color change in the measurement region. Edge Level It indicates the color change level of edges (degree of color difference). This level shall be regulated in the case of failure to detect the edge.
Page 125 The edge level shall be adjusted when edge cannot be found due to low color difference of background, or noise shall be removed. Note Edge level 0 to 100 represents "strength of edge", irrelative with color difference of original images. Noise Level Used to judge the level of edge.
Page 126 When no color is selected When the edge Error is detected again, within the range from the location of edge to noise width during first detection, the detected points are considered as noise. When specifying color When the distribution of color difference is less than Edge level again, within the range from the location of edge to noise width during first detection, the detected points are considered as noise.
Page 127 Defect Measurement Find defect, stain and spots by changing the color within measurement region. After drawing a measurement region, a rectangle is automatically formed in this area ("Defect detection" area). Move the "Defect detection" area, calculate separately the mean concentration, and obtain the detection difference with surrounding defect (referred to as defect level).
Page 128 Configuring Coordinates The processing items to measure positions have a setting item called "Output parameter" with which you can select how to handle coordinates. In "Output parameter", you can set "Output coordinates" and "Calibration". Output Coordinates Selects Coordinate type to be output to external devices. Before executing Position Compensation Output Coordinate value prior to Position Compensation.
Page 129 Configuring 3D measurement 3D measurement is performed with a set of two cameras. Settings such as the region setting or the model registration are made on the image of camera 0 (the perpendicular camera). The registered measurement region is automatically applied to the image of camera1 (oblique camera) and the height of objects is measured.
Page 130 3D Processing Item Window for how to view the screen display of 3D measurement when the measurement is performed. To measure height accurately properly with 2 cameras, the coordinates of the cameras must be linked properly. To link the coordinates of two cameras is called [3D coordinate setting].
