Alignment
menu group
To compensate for positioning deviations (i.e. a change in the positioning of the inspec‐
tion object under the camera) and to compensate for manufacturing tolerances on
the inspection object, the position and orientation of the entire inspection object or of
special regions on the inspection object are determined and corrected in the camera
image. This step is referred to below as
Alignment
or
Align
.
A coordinate system for the entire inspection object, or multiple coordinate systems for
special regions on the inspection object are taught in based on the reference image.
The coordinate systems serve as the basis for the position and orientation of all other
regions and inspections on the camera image.
During the inspection, these coordinate systems are localized on the current camera
image and the position and orientation of the inspection object are thereby corrected
for the other regions and inspections.
The following methods are available:
•
