Selecting Auto Threshold will instruct the software to compute the threshold automatically.

Hint: The Count Tool is configured to handle 360 degrees of rotation by default. However, reducing the Allowed Rotation (± Degrees) will speed up the tool's performance considerably.

Effort Level provides a mechanism for adjusting the recognition effort for the tool. There are five options available: Lowest, Low, Normal, High, and Exhaustive. This setting has a large impact on the robustness of the tool at the cost of performance. Normal is adequate for most operations.

 

 

 

Positioning Accuracy provides a mechanism for adjusting the speed/accuracy tradeoff of the positioning process though a scale that ranges from Fast to Accurate. Options are Fast, Coarse, Normal, Fine, and Accurate. Normal is adequate for most operations.

 

 

 

Enable Scale Search enables scale tolerance searching to locate the object if it is larger or smaller than a trained model. Note that enabling scale search increases search time, similar to enabling rotation search.

 

Minimum Scale sets smallest search size of model. A value of 0.5 corresponds to 50%.

 

Maximum Scale sets largest search size of model. A value of 2 corresponds to 200%.

 

Conformity Tolerance allows you to set custom conformity tolerance. This is the width of the band +/- in pixels within which the contour is allowed to vary and still be found. If a shape varies slightly between parts, increasing conformity tolerance allows it to be located more easily.

 

Example: The image below shows a large conformity tolerance. The cross edges can vary anywhere within the yellow boundary and still be considered part of the model.

 

 

Min % of Model Match is the value for which a possible match will be further analyzed as a final match candidate. This should always be set lower than Accept Threshold.

 

Model Name (Read-Only) is the name that AutoVISION automatically assigns to the locate model.
