[Measurement (Scan Edge Position)]

This item can be changed if necessary. Usually, the factory default value can be used. After changing a setting, check whether measurement can be done properly by performing an actual measurement.
Note
  1. In the "Item tab" area, tap [Measurement].
    The edge profile of the measurement region is displayed in the "Image display" area.

    Set Value
    [Factory default]
    Description
    Display area No.
    [0] to 99
    Specify the part for which the edge profile is displayed. It should be a sequential number decided when the region was divided.
    Enabled
    • Checked
    • Unchecked
    [As defined in the region settings]
    Specify enabled/disabled for the displayed area. When [Enabled] is unchecked, measurement is not performed.
  3. Set the value of each item in the "Measurement" area.
    How to input a value: User's Manual, "Inputting a Value"
    [Edge No.] can be specified by tapping [<] and [>].
    The values for [Edge level] and [Edge color level] can be adjusted by dragging the slider or by tapping the buttons at both ends of the slider.

    Set Value
    [Factory default]
    Description
    Edge No.
    [0] to 99
    Specify the number of the edge to be extracted.
    Edge numbers are assigned to the detected edges, starting with 0 from the start point to the end point in the direction of the arrow of the measurement region.
    Edge level
    • Position (%) for width of a color
      0 to 100[50]
    • Value of color
      0 to 442[20]
    Specify a color difference level with which the edge is detected.
    User's Manual, "Edge Measurement"
    Edge color level
    0 to 442
    [100]
    Specify a level to remove colors other than the color specified in [Edge color] to enhance the edge color.
    This option is enabled only when the [Edge color specification] is checked in [Edge color].

    Description
    Density change
    [Light Icon Dark]
    Dark Icon Light
    Select whether a black-to-white change or a white-to-black change should be recognized as a density change in the specified region.
    Edge No.
    [0] to 99
    Specify the number of the edge to be extracted.
    Edge numbers are assigned to the detected edges, starting with 0 from the start point to the end point in the direction of the arrow of the measurement region.
    Edge level
    • Position (%) for width of a density
      0 to 100[50]
    • Value of density
      0 to 255[20]
    Select the density change level to be detected as edges.

  4. Tap [...] of each item in the "Noise removal" area, and set values.
    How to input a value: User's Manual, "Inputting a Value"
    The value for [Noise level] can be adjusted by dragging the slider or by tapping the buttons at both ends of the slider.
    The [Noise width] value can also be adjusted by tapping [<] and [>].

    Setting Item
    Set Value
    [Factory default]
    Description
    Noise level
    0 to 442
    [5]
    Specify the noise level for judging the presence/absence of an edge.
    The maximum and minimum values of color differences in the edge detection region are obtained and, if the difference is lower than the noise level, no edges will be detected. If the detection is affected by noise, increase this value.
    Noise width
    [0] to 9999
    Specify the noise width.
    When there are two edges higher than the edge level and the distance between them is less than the noise width, these two edges are treated as noise. If the detection is affected by noise, increase this value.
  5. In the "Approximate line" area, specify the point to be used for the calculation for approximate lines.

    Description
    Noise cancel
    • ON
    • [OFF]
    This item calculates an approximate straight line by excluding the points with large deviation among the measured points.
    The approximate straight line is calculated by using all the measured points.
