IMAQ Refine Matches VI

Owning Palette: Pattern Matching AdvancedInstalled With: NI Vision Development Module

Refines matches returned from the IMAQ Match Pattern 2 VI using subpixel information learned using the IMAQ Learn Pattern 2 VI.

IMAQ Refine Matches

Matches In is a cluster containing the following elements:

cnclst.gif

Position is a point-coordinate cluster corresponding to the center of the template.

csgl.gif

Angle is the rotation angle of the template in the source image at the current match location.

csgl.gif

Scale is the change in percentage size of the matched template from the original template. Currently, this is always set to 1.

csgl.gif

Score ranks the match results on a scale of 0 to 1,000, where 0 equals no match and 1,000 equals a perfect match.

Bounding Box is an array of five points that define the boundary of the template pattern in the image. You can connect this array directly to the IMAQ Overlay Multiple Lines VI to overlay the location of a match on your image.

Image is a reference to the inspection image in which you originally located the matches you want to refine.

cgenclasstagrefflat.gif

Template Image is a reference to the template for which you want to search during the refinement phase. The template image is an output of the IMAQ Learn Pattern 2 VI.

cstr.gif

Match Pattern Setup Data is a string that contains information from the IMAQ Setup Match Pattern 2 VI or the IMAQ Advanced Setup Match Pattern 2 VI. If this input is not connected, the VI uses default parameters for all unconfigured options.

error in (no error) describes the error status before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

cbool.gif

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.

ci32.gif

code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

cstr.gif

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.

i1dcclst.gif

Matches Out is an array of match clusters. Matches Out returns the following elements:

inclst.gif

Position is a point-coordinate cluster corresponding to the center of the template.

isgl.gif

Angle is the rotation angle of the template in the source image at the current match location.

isgl.gif

Scale is the change in percentage size of the matched template from the original template. Currently this is always set to 1.

isgl.gif

Score ranks the match results on a scale of 0 to 1,000, where 0 equals no match and 1,000 equals a perfect match.

i1dnclst.gif

Bounding Box is an array of five points that define the boundary of the template pattern in the image. You can connect this array directly to the IMAQ Overlay Multiple Lines VI to overlay the location of a match on your image.

ii32.gif

Number of Matches is the number of template matches found in the inspection image after refinement.

ierrcodeclst.gif

error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.

ibool.gif

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.

ii32.gif

code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

istr.gif

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
