How to Use Vision Assistant

Vision Assistant Interface

1. Create a script of image processing and analysis functions.

Note  Refer to the Vision Builder AI Vision Assistant Help for information about configuring a script from within Vision Assistant. You can access the Vision Builder AI Vision Assistant Help from the Help menu inside Vision Assistant

Main Tab

2. In the Step Name control, enter a descriptive name for the step.
3. Choose one of the following methods to specify the region of interest for the step:
   • Create a new region of interest.
     1. Select Constant from the Region of Interest listbox.
     2. Select a tool from the menu toolbar that matches the type of region of interest you want to specify.
     3. Draw a region of interest on the image.

        Tip  Hold down the <Ctrl> key to specify a region of interest containing several contours using the same or different tools. Hold down the <Shift> key to draw a horizontal or vertical line.

   • Select a previously defined region of interest from the Region of Interest listbox.
4. Verify that the Reposition Region of Interest option is enabled if you want to link the region of interest specified in this step to a previously defined coordinate system.

   Link the region of interest to a coordinate system if the position of the object under inspection changes from image to image, and you need to adjust the position of the region of interest to match the new location of the object.

5. Verify that the Image Processing Steps list contains the correct functions. To change items in the list, click Edit to launch Vision Assistant.
