How to Calibrate an Image

Main Tab

  1. In the Step Name control, enter a descriptive name for the step.
  2. Complete one of the following steps.
    1. Click New Calibration to launch the calibration wizard, and select the type of calibration you want.

      When you complete the calibration wizard, the Calibration Type indicator is updated to reflect the calibration you selected. If you chose Calibration from Image, the path to the calibrated image you selected appears in the Calibrated Image File Path indicator.

    2. Click Edit Calibration if you need to return to the calibration wizard to change your calibration setup.
  3. If you used points defined in a previous step to learn the calibration, you can choose to relearn the calibration based on the new position of these points each time you acquire a new image. Enable the Relearn Calibration at Each Iteration control if the camera position or imaging conditions change from one image to another.
  4. You can save the calibration to file by enabling the Save Calibrated Image to File control and selecting a path in which to save the new calibrated image. The calibrated image will be saved at each iteration of the Calibrate Image step. The calibration can be used in a different inspection to automatically calibrate all acquired images using the Calibrate from Image method.
  5. Click the Axis tab, and select Correct Image if you want to correct the calibrated image. You must also specify the Interpolation Type and Replace Value to use to correct the image.
Tip Tip  Refer to the Calibration and Axis tabs to view the calibration and calibration axis information you specified in the calibration wizard.
  1. Click OK to add the step to the inspection.
