[3D Setting: 3D Coordinates (3D Camera Image Input)]

Adjust the coordinates between two cameras for 3D processing and set to convert measured value to actual dimensions. There are two ways to set the 3D coordinates. Select the method appropriate for the measurement environment (whether or not the measured object can be placed horizontally).
Note
  • When using an all-in-on camera, 3D coordinates are already set.
  • Calibration target is used. Prepare it beforehand.

Measurement when the Measured Object can be Placed Horizontally

Specify "Position Z" and sample at two points with the calibration target placed far and near the camera. Set 3D coordinates by registering each position.
  1. Tap [3D setting] in the "Item tab" area (top) and tap [3D coordinates] in the "Item tab" area (bottom).

  2. Select the combination of cameras to be used in the "Set camera number" area.

  3. When using an all-in-one camera, uncheck "Availableness" of "The data camera has".
    For an all-in-one camera, calibration is already set as factory default. Reset the calibration if the precision is insufficient.

    The sampling result is displayed in [Sampling].
  9. Set the calibration target in the spacer.
    How to place the calibration target
    Note
    • The height will be 10mm when the calibration target is set on the concaved side of the spacer. The height will be 20mm when the calibration target is set on the other side of the spacer. Adjust as necessary.

    3D coordinate setting is performed and the result is displayed as a message.
    When 3D coordinate setting is successful, a value is displayed in "Accuracy".

    Note
    Accuracy
    • Assuming the actual height at the reference surface is Z0, and the height calculated with 3D coordinate setting (calibration) parameter is Z, the accuracy is expressed with the formula below:
      Accuracy = max{|Z(i)-Z0(i)|} (i: all the sampling points)
  13. Repeat the Steps 2 to 12 when performing 3D measurement switching between Camera0+1 and Camera2+3.
