Model Registration (Classification)

Pre-register as models the sections to be used as reference for classification.
Models can be registered with any of 36 indexes, from 0 to 35, and up to 5 models can be registered for each index.
When there is variation among the model print quality and shapes, pre-register multiple models for the same index.
  1. In the Item Tab area, tap [Model register].
  2. In the "Setting model" area, select a model and tap [New].
    Model - "Setting model" area
  3. Use the drawing tools to specify the model registration range.
    Model - "Detail" area
  4. Tap [OK].
    The model is registered and its center X and Y coordinate values are displayed in the "Setting model" area.

    The image specified for the model is displayed in the Image Display area.

    Note
    Model Status and Measurement Processing
    • Measurement time and accuracy may be affected by the status of model in the following ways. Please select measurement objects that are in good condition (clean) for Model Registration.
      • In the case of large or complicated models, processing time is prolonged.
      • With extremely small models or models without features, search processing is unstable.
  5. To register two or more models, repeat the Steps2to4.
    Note
    • When a model is registered, the central coordinates of the model are registered as the detection point.A detection point is a point output as a measurement value.If multiple figures are combined, the central coordinates of the circumscribed rectangle are registered.

Changing Model Parameters

Model parameter values can be changed as needed to address unstable measurement results or to increase the processing speed.Normally, the factory default value will be used.
After changing a setting, re-register the model.
  1. In the "Model parameter" area, select the search mode, then specify a value for each item for that mode.
    Model - "Model parameter" area
    Setting item
    Set value
    [factory default]
    Description
    Search mode
    [CR]
    Search normalizing the brightness.This method can provide reliable measurement when there is fluctuation in the overall brightness and when the image has low contrast.
    PT
    Measures with the degree of matching to the profile of the model.This method can measure at higher speed when the rotation angle has a wide range.
    It is available only when a 0.3 megapixel color camera is connected.
    When CR is selected
    Setting item
    Set value
    [factory default]
    Description
    Rotation
    Checked
    [Unchecked]
    When the measurement object is rotating, place a check at "Rotation" and specify how many degrees the model created rotates each time and through what range of angles.A smaller skipping angle increases stability, but slows down the processing.The normal direction is clockwise.
     
    Angle range
    [-180 to 180]
    Skipping angle
    1 to 30
    [5]
    Smart mode
    [Checked]
    Unchecked
    Checking the "Smart mode" option enables a high-speed rotation search.However, the stability may be lowered when the model shape aspect ratio is large or when the NOT mask is used.
    Stability
    1 to 15
    [The default value depend on the connected camera.9 or 12]
    Specify which is to have priority, measurement stability or speed.
    If lowering stability does not speed up processing, it is likely that many candidates have been detected.In this case, specify a larger value for "Candidate level" or "Stab."
    Preciseness
    1 to 3
    [2]
    Specify which is to have priority, measurement positional precision or speed.
    When PT is selected
    Setting item
    Set value
    [factory default]
    Description
    Angle range
    [-180 to 180]
    This item specifies the rotation angle range for searching.The normal direction is clockwise.
    Stability
    1 to 5
    [3]
    If lowering stability does not speed up processing, it is likely that many candidates have been detected.In this case, specify a larger value for "Candidate level" or "Stab."
