OCV/OCR
The OCV/OCR tools read and verify text strings using trained fonts. The OCV/OCR tools includes the following functions:
- OCRMax: Trains, reads and verifies characters in text strings.
- OCRMaxAutoTune: Provides external access to the Auto-Tune dialog.
- OCRMaxSettings: Provides programmatic access to segmentation parameters and other advanced text reading parameters.
- ReadText: Reads a text string.
- TrainFont: Trains font characters.
- VerifyText: Verifies the characters in a text string.
Note:
- The TrainFont, ReadText and VerifyText functions are only available on In-Sight vision systems using In-Sight firmware 4.x.x, and are not available on In-Sight vision systems running In-Sight firmware 5.1.0 and later. For a complete list of models and supported firmware versions, see Firmware Versions.
- Cognex recommends that the OCRMax function be used instead of the ReadText, TrainFont and VerifyText functions, which are legacy functions. The OCRMax function has enhanced performance capabilities.
