If the camera’s field of view includes areas that are not needed for inspection (also refer t
o the
description in the Flat Field Calibration Region of Interest section) then the user may want to
ignore this superfluous image data.
Eliminating unwanted image data that is visible in the camera’s field of view reduces the amount of
information the host computer needs to process. This may result in an increase to the maximum
allowable line rate when using 12-bit output data.
The camera can accommodate up to four AOIs. Image data outside the AOIs is discarded. Each AOI
is user selected and its pixel b
oundaries defined. The camera assembles the individual AOI’s into
one contiguous image line with a width equal to the sum of the individual AOIs. The frame grabber
will need to be adjusted to accommodate the smaller overall image width. As the host computer
defined the size of each individual AOI, it will be able to extract and process each individual AOI
from the single larger image.
Note:
AOIs are not supported by the Linea HS 32k Super Resolution model (
HL-HM-
32K15S-00-R).
