Setting the AOI
The AOI is set by default to use the full resolution of the camera’s sensor.
You can change the size and the position of the AOI by changing the value of the camera’s X Offset,
Y Offset, Width, and Height parameters.
The value of the X Offset parameter determines the starting column for the area of interest.
The value of the Y Offset parameter determines the starting row for the area of interest.
The value of the Width parameter determines the width of the area of interest.
The value of the Height parameter determines the height of the area of interest.
When you are setting the camera’s area of interest, you must follow these guidelines:
The sum of the current X Offset setting plus the current Width setting must not exceed the
width of the sensor in the camera model you are using. For example, on the monochrome
version of the slA640-74, the sum of the current X Offset setting plus the current Width setting
must not exceed 659.
The sum of the current Y Offset setting plus the current Height setting must not exceed the
height of the sensor in the camera model you are using. For example, on the monochrome
version of the slA640-74, the sum of the current Y Offset setting plus the current Height setting
must not exceed 494.
On monochrome cameras:
The X Offset, Y Offset, Width, and Height parameters can be set in increments of 1.
On color cameras:
The X Offset, Y Offset, Width, and Height parameters can be set in increments of 2 and they
must be set to an even number. For example, the X Offset parameter can be set to 0, 2, 4, 6, 8,
etc.
