Segmentation
This tool is not supported on A and B revision Gocator 2100 and 2300 sensors. It will however
appear in emulator scenarios created using these sensors.
The Segmentation tool separates surface data into "segments,"based on the tool's parameters.
Segments can be touching and overlapping to a certain degree. The Segmentation tool is especially
useful in the food industry, for example to identify food items that are too small or too big, or items that
are damaged.
The tool displays the area of each segment in the data view, but does not output them as
measurements.
The Segmentation tool can also be used as a second stage of processing after part detection.For
example, part detection could be used to detect a tray (containing parts), and the Segmentation tool
could then separate the parts within the tray.
The Segmentation tool cannot handle large overlaps.
The Segmentation tool does not perform template matching.
To reduce processing time, consider using the decimation filter. For more information on this
filter, see Filters on page 146.
