Outline tool
Setting items for the Outline tool
Items Description Setting range Default value
Edit Window
Window Shape
Selects the window shape to
specify an area of the target
to be detected.
Rect
Species with the rectangular window.
An arbitrary size, position, and angle
can be specied with stylus.
Circle
Species with the circular window.
An arbitrary size and position can be
specied with stylus.
Rect
Search Region
Species an area to search the
outline of a target. By specifying
the smaller area as a search
region, the processing time will
be shortened.
Entire
Species the entire imaging area as a
search region.
Partial
Species a search region to an arbitrary
size in the imaging area.
Entire
(Without position
adjustment)
Partial
(With position
adjustment)
Fine Tune Outline
Remove Outline
Judges by disabling an
unnecessary outline which
interrupts the stabilized
detection. Specify by tracing
the extracted outline with stylus.
Undo
The previous operation can be cancelled.
You can undo back to 5 operations before.
Clear
Initializes all the disabling processes.
Eraser Width
Selects the eraser width (light/medium/
heavy) of the pen when specifying an
unnecessary outline.
Not specied
Sensitivity
The extraction sensitivity of
an outline can be selected
according to the target.
High
Extracts an outline of the image with
low contrast. Used when an outline you
wish to detect cannot be extracted.
Norm
Extracts the standard outline.
Low
Reduces the extracted volume of an
outline. Reduces the extracted volume of
an outline that is not necessary to detect.
Norm
Limit
Adjustment
Adjusts a threshold (matching
rate*) used in the OK/NG
judgment. During threshold
adjustment, the system turns
to the Test mode so that the
thresholds can be adjusted to
the applicable value during an
operation.
0 to 100 70
* 100 indicates that outline is completely matched.
Matching rate decreases in accordance with number of unmatched parts.
