Bead Tracker Defect Detection Tool - Train Bead Tab

Defines the bead edge model. The Train button is used when configuring a bead edge model. Press the Train button after you have configured the tool's parameters and region to accentuate the relevant features of the bead edge model. After the bead edge model has been trained, the tool will compare the bead feature in acquired images against the trained bead edge model to determine if there are deviations, such as defects or gaps.

Defines the number of pixels, per Caliper, that are to be analyzed along the direction of the inspection to find the bead feature (1 - 639; default = 8).

Defines the distance, in pixels, between the end of one Caliper and the start of the next Caliper (-1 - 639; default = 0).

Defines the pixel distance (1 - 10; default = 3) over which an edge transition takes place. This setting helps filter noise from the image.

Defines the minimum greyscale contrast transition (1 - 255; default = 10) to be considered an edge.

Defines the direction in which the tool will attempt to detect edges, relative to the region (Left-to-Right, Right-to-Left, Center Outward or Outside In; default = Left-to-Right).

Defines the transition of the first detected edge (Dark-to-Light, Light-to-Dark or Either; default = Either). For increased accuracy and speed, specify the type of transition.

Defines the transition of the second detected edge (Dark-to-Light, Light-to-Dark or Either; default = Either). For increased accuracy and speed, specify the type of transition.

Defines whether or not the first edge detected receives the highest consideration when determining whether or not an edge candidate meets the criteria to be considered an edge (by default, this setting is enabled).

Defines whether or not the edge with the strongest contrast transition receives the highest consideration when determining whether or not an edge candidate meets the criteria to be considered an edge (by default, this setting is enabled).

Defines the upper limit of the edge contrast transition (2 - 255; default = 255) to be considered an edge; edges with an edge contrast transition above this value will have the same highest score.

Defines whether or not the edge pair detected with the size closest to the Pair Size parameter receives the highest consideration when determining whether or not an edge candidate meets the criteria to be considered an edge (by default, this setting is disabled).

Defines a scoring threshold to filter out edges with scores (0 - 255; default = 10) lower than this value.

Displays the total number of Calipers within the region.

Defines which individual Caliper to isolate and display.

Defines whether or not all of the Calipers within the region are displayed at all times; by default, the Calipers are hidden.
