Auto Calibration

AutoVISION performs Acquisition Calibration, which configures the camera sensor’s Focus setting via an auto-focus step, and configures the Exposure and Gain settings via an auto-photometry step. The calibration process ensures that the camera captures and sends optimal images to the software for analysis.

 

Click the Auto Calibration button in AutoVISION's Image view to perform a quick calibration on the image.

 

 

To perform Auto Calibration in AutoVISION’s Image view, click the Auto Calibrate button to the right of the main image area. AutoVISION performs a quick calibration on the image in the field of view and provides output on Image Size and Dynamic Range, and also shows a Histogram for the captured image.

 

You can also adjust Exposure, Gain, and Focus individually, and set the Lighting Mode as discussed in Image.

 

Auto Calibrate

 

Adjusts Exposure, Gain, and Focus.

 

Focus Only

 

Focuses the image.

 

Note: The Focus slider bar and Focus icons will not be shown for fixed focus cameras. Auto Calibration will change only Exposure and Gain.

 

Spot Focus

 

Drag the cursor to the spot in the image where you want to focus.

 

Important: The image source must be the camera for these controls to be enabled. If you see the Acquire Images from Camera button instead of the Auto Calibration button, click it to make the camera the image source and capture an image. The Auto Calibration button and other controls will then be enabled.

 

See Multi-Dot Calibration for information about the Multi-Dot Calibration Utility.

 

White Balance

 

White Balance automatically evens out the gain values of red, green and blue channels so the camera image will look the same as it does to the human eye. White will become white even if the lighting is not.

 

Example: The image prior to White Balance has a greenish color. The red, green, and blue histograms are not balanced.

 

 

The image after White Balance has no greenish color. The red, green, and blue histograms are balanced.
