|
| LD Sampling - Subpixel Tolerance |
4 |
Specifies the maximum amount of change, in pixels, between consecutive incremental improvements in the match position before the node stops refining the match position. The default value is 0, which specifies that the node should always use a number of refinements equal to
Subpixel Iterations. If you provide values for both
Subpixel Iterations
and
Subpixel Tolerence, the node refines the match for, at most,
Subpixel Iterations
but may stop early if
Subpixel Tolerence
is satisfied.
|

Specifies the reduction of the match list as matches are refined. The default is 5.
|
| LD Sampling - Initial Step Size |
7 |
Specifies the number of template pixels that you want to include in a sample for the initial phase of matching. The default is 0, which allows the algorithm to compute the
Initial Sample Size. For optimal speed, the node coerces sizes that are less than 240 to an integer multiple of 12 and coerces sizes greater than 240 to an integer multiple of 60.
|
| LD Sampling - Intermediate Angular Accuracy |
8 |
Sets the angle accuracy, in degrees, to use during the final phase of the matching. The default is 1 degree. Use subpixel accuracy to achieve angle accuracy less than the default. This value must be no greater than the value for
Initial Angular Accuracy. The node coerces the angle to the largest integer smaller than it that evenly divides 360. This option is not used in conjunction with the aggressive search strategy.
|
| Pyramid - Max Pyramid Level |
100 |
Specifies the pyramid level at which the coarse-to-fine matching begins. The higher this value the faster the matching will be. Thus, setting this to 0 will lead to a very large match time. All values higher than the maximum allowed pyramid level, or automatically computed during learning the template, are coerced to the maximum allowed level. The default value is set to the optimal pyramid level, or automatically computed during learning the template. Note that setting this value lower than the
Max Pyramid Level to Store Data, used in learning the template, is not allowed, as the required data for coarse matching will be missing. The
Get Template Information
node can be used to obtain the various pyramid levels used while learning the template and this parameter can then be set accordingly.
|
| Pyramid - Minimum Contrast |
102 |
Specifies the minimum contrast to consider the image region for matching. Any image region lower than minimum contrast will be skipped for matching, which improves performance.
|
| Pyramid - Enable Subpixel Accuracy |

|
| Pyramid - Subpixel Tolerance |
105 |
Specifies the maximum amount of change, in pixels, between consecutive incremental improvements in the match position before the node stops refining the match position. The default value is 0, which specifies that the node should always use a number of refinements equal to
Subpixel Iterations. If you provide values for both
Subpixel Iterations
and
Subpixel Tolerance, the node refines the match for, at most,
Subpixel Iterations
but may stop early if
Subpixel Tolerance
is satisfied.
|
| Pyramid - Initial Match List Length |
106 |
Specifies the maximum size of the match list. The match list contains the regions in the inspection image that have the highest probability of containing a match. The minimum value for this option is 5. The default value is 200 for shift matching, and 300 for rotation matching.
|
| Pyramid - Match List Reduction Factor |
107 |
Specifies the reduction of the match list as matches are refined. The default value is 1, which results in no reduction.
|
| Pyramid - Intermediate Angular Accuracy |
108 |
Specifies the angular accuracy used for initial coarse matching when rotation is present. The default value is 6 degrees. Setting this value too high creates the risk of losing out matches.
|
| Pyramid - Process Border Matches |
109 |
Specifies whether to search for partial (border matches) or not. Note that the border could either be the image border or the border of the supplied ROI region. Turning this parameter on increases the match time, especially for larger templates. The default value is TRUE.
|

|
| Pyramid -Max Cache in MB |
114 |
Specifies the maximum cache size to use while matching for rotation. The cache is used to control the size of the template data in memory while matching. Cases where successive search images are expected to have matches which are either at same angle or at angles belonging to a small set of recurring values will see maximum cache utilization and speed-ups. The default value is 5 Megabytes.
|
| Pyramid - Clear Cache |
115 |
Specifies whether or not to flush the cache after every match. Turning this ON will take away the caching benefits seen for successive match images having matches at the same angle or at recurring angles. The default value is OFF.
|
| Enable Defect Map |
200 |
Specifies whether or not to calculate the defect map between the template and match image. The default value is OFF.
|
| Curve Extraction Mode
|
300 |

305 |
Specifies the distance, in the x direction, between the image columns that the algorithm inspects for curve seed points. Valid values range from 1 to 255. The default value is 15.
|
| Curve Max Endpoint Gap
|
306 |
Specifies the maximum gap, in pixels, between the endpoints of a curve that the node identifies as a closed curve. If the gap is larger than this value, the node identifies the curve as an open curve. The default value is 10.
|

The default value is 0, which specifies that the node should always use a number of refinements equal to Subpixel Iterations. If you provide values for both Subpixel Iterations and Subpixel Tolerance, the node refines the match for, at most, Subpixel Iterations but may stop early if Subpixel Tolerance is satisfied.
|
| Initial Match List Length
|
313 |
Specifies the maximum size of the match list. The match list contains the regions in the inspection image that have the highest probability of containing a match. The minimum value for this option is 5. The default value is 200.
|
| Enable Target Template Curve Score
|
314 |
Specifies whether the node should calculate the match curve to template curve score and return it for each match result. Set this option to 1 to enable the target template curve score. The default value is 0, which disables the target template curve score.
|
| Min Match Separation Distance
|
315 |
Specifies the minimum separation distance, in pixels, between the origins of two matches that have unique positions. The node does not return matches that have the same position, scale, and angle.

|
| Enable Coarse Result
|
319 |
Specifies whether you want the algorithm to spend less time accurately estimating the location of a match. Set this value to 1 if you want to quickly determine whether a part is present in the inspection image without an accurate estimate of its position, angle, and scale. The default value is 0, which specifies that the node returns matches with pixel or subpixel accuracy.
|
| Enable Calibration Support
|
320 |
