Shape Search+

This is a processing item for just FZ3-HIconIconIcon series high grade controllers.
This processing item searches the input image for parts having a high degree of similarity to the target mark (model) and detects its correlation value (similarity) and position at high speed.
In a normal search, image pattern models are used that look at the color and light/dark information, but in a shape search, models are used that look at the profile information.Therefore, this processing assures a reliable search even for low-contrast or noisy images. It is also possible to search reliably for marks of difference size.
This is used to search at higher speed than for an ECM search.
This processing item is for monochrome only.When using a color camera, put in the color gray filter. If a color image is input, it is NG (incompatible image).

Used in the Following Case

  • To measure the location of a mark
    Shape Search+ - Overview
Important
  • When FZ3-HIconIconIcon series dedicated processing items are used, processing is carried out that reduces the processing time from the second time on. Therefore, when measuring the same image, the processing for the first time after the controller is started up may be longer than the processing time from the second time on.
