Presence/Absence Tools - PatMax RedLine Pattern and PatMax Pattern 

Note:
  • From In-Sight firmware 5.5.0 and later, the tool's algorithm has been changed to return more accurate results and decrease the execution time in some circumstances.
  • Due to this change, when attempting to load a job containing this tool configured on the In-Sight firmware 5.5.0 or later to an In-Sight vision system running firmware version 5.4.x or earlier, an error message is displayed.
  • The PatMax RedLine Pattern Location Tool and PatMax RedLine Patterns (1-10) Location Tool are only available on In-Sight vision systems running In-Sight firmware 5.2.0 and later.

The PatMax RedLine Pattern Tool and PatMax Pattern Presence/Absence Tool are used to determine the presence or absence of a pattern feature, using the PatMax RedLine or PatMax algorithm, based upon a trained representation of that pattern (called a Model).

These tools are useful in situations where the feature on a good part has a recognizable pattern that is not present on bad parts, or vice versa. For example, if you are trying to verify whether or not a Philips screw head pattern is present in a mechanical assembly.
