Example of Creating a Pattern Model
1. System must be calibrated, so that real-world measurements
correspond with the vision system’s set of pixels.
2. Open Client Camera.
3. Click the Image Processing Tools icon to open Matrox Inspector.
4. For this example, set a cube down within the camera’s field of vision,
so that its edge is parallel to the edge of the Client Camera window.
In order for both the robot gripper and the cube to be set to zero
degrees, the cube must be defined as parallel to the X-axis of the
camera’s world. Subsequently, the robot arm’s rotation will be relative
to this point.
5. In Client Camera, click Snap.
6. Click the ROI (Region of Interest) icon, and outline the perimeter of
the cube that was set.
7. Click the Pattern Matching icon.
Pattern Matching Model Dialog Box
 From the Dimension tab, you will see the cube that was
outlined using the ROI icon.
