Figure 6-3.

A Calibration Grid and an Image of the Grid

Note

If you specify a list of points instead of a grid for the calibration process,

the software defines a default coordinate system, as follows:

1.

The origin is placed at the point in the list with the lowest x-coordinate
value and then the lowest y-coordinate value.

2.

The angle is set to 0

°

.

3.

The axis direction is set to indirect using

CWIMAQCoordinateSystem.AxisOrientation=

cwimaqAxisOrientationIndirect

.

If you define a coordinate system yourself, carefully consider the
requirements of the application:

•

Express the origin in pixels. Always choose an origin location that lies
within the calibration grid so that you can convert the location to
real-world units.

•

Specify the angle as the angle between the x-axis of the new coordinate
system (x') and the top row of dots (x), as shown in Figure 6-4. If the
imaging system exhibits nonlinear distortion, you cannot visualize the
angle as you can in Figure 6-4 because the dots do not appear in
straight lines.
