11.4. Module Coordinate System
11.4.1. Overview
Objective
Objects can be tracked and reliably detected. Further image processing can be set up
on the basis of this coordinate system.
The coordinate system module allows for translatory and rotary tracking. The coordinate
system’s X and Y positions, as well as its, are adjusted to this end.
The coordinate system is suitable for tracking objects whose rotary position can change.
Note: In addition to rotary tracking, translatory tracking is also possible. Pure translatory
tracking is possible with the localizer module (see section 11.10.2).
Prerequisites
1. Sensor is correctly connected (see section 5.5)
2. Connection has been established from the sensor to the software (see section 10.1.1)
3. The camera is configured / images are selected (see section 11.2)
Abbreviated
Procedure
First of all, how the coordinate system is laid out can be individually specified. Various
algorithms are available.
Edge transitions along search rays can then be detected with the help of search lines. A
point is generated at the edge on this search line, which can be defined as an origin or
a point along the X or the Y-axis.
