4.3.9 Adding vision model
4.3.9.1 Vision modeling
Introduction to vision modeling
There are three different tools available for generating models in a solution and
the possibility to add customized external models. The three tools are:
• Geometric PatMax which is a pattern recognition tool. See Configuring a
geometric model with PatMax on page 246.
• Blob which is a detection of two-dimensional shapes within images. See
Configuring blob models on page 257.
• Inspection tool (Inspection II) which makes it possible to combine the PatMax,
blob, histogram, Caliper, and external tool to generate a model. See
Configuring inspection models on page 264.
Note
Vision modeling can only be created or edited when the software is connected
to a real controller.
Classification of items
Items identified by vision models can be classified as either accepted or rejected.
These two types can be distributed to different work areas and be given different
item type values accessible from the RAPID program. Item classification can be
done by PatMax, Blob, and the Inspection tool.
Vision model parameters in item targets
Item targets identified by a vision model can store a selection of upto 5 vision
model parameters in the components Val1, Val2, Val3, Val4, and Val5. These
parameters can be accessed in user hooks and in the RAPID program.
Item targets identified by an inspection model can store a selection of parameters
from the alignment model and from the included subinspection models.
For each kind of vision model, a target storage can be selected for some vision
parameters.
External vision models
