Pattern Matching FAQs

What does the red pointer in the template image indicate?

The red pointer indicates the point on the template whose coordinate location you want returned when the step finds matches of the template in the inspection image.

When should I mirror the search angle?

Mirror the search angle when the fixture of the part under inspection constrains the location of the part along a specified axis. Another typical use for this parameter is to find templates that are symmetric along one axis.

What is the difference between the green and red regions?

The green region indicates the region of the image in which you want to search for matches to the template. The red region indicates an area that matches the template.
