  • Page 2 Store this user's manual in a safe place. We are confident that the manual will be helpful whenever you encounter a problem. In addition to this manual, there are other IV-C35M manuals as follows. Read them in conjunction with this manual.

  • Page 3: Safety Precautions

    - Don't touch the terminals while the power is turned ON or you may receive an electric shock. - Assemble an external emergency stop circuit and interlock circuit (external to the IV-C35M compact color image sensor camera). Otherwise a breakdown or damage to other equip- ment may occur due to a problem with the IV-C35M.
  • Page 4 (4) Maintenance Warning - The controller contains a lithium battery. Do not expose the IV-C35M directly to flames as the battery may explode and seriously injure people nearby. Prohibit - Don't disassemble or modify the camera. Fires, breakdowns or malfunctions may occur, if the camera is disassembled.

To set up a trigger, you can select from color, binary image conversion, average density, gray search, and edge detection techniques.

  • Page 12: Color Extraction

    Outline 1-2 Color extraction The color extraction function extracts a color in a certain area from the original image, and registers it as a reference color. The controller converts areas of color that are within the upper and lower limit ranges of hue, saturation, and brightness of the reference color to binary images, as well as colors outside of these ranges.

    Glossary Glossary Area filter A function used to eliminate an island if its area is smaller that the specified size after each of the objects in an image have been identified. Arrangement of the square pixels This refers to CCD elements whose pixels are square and arranged at the same vertical and hori- zontal interval.

Contraction expansion Delete isolated white points by contraction and then restore the original image size by expan- sion. Fillet width (shading width) Size of a hollow rectangle which closely matches to the target object in a binary image (white part).
  • Page 124 Gray scale check using the normalization correlation method Even when the IV-C35M is looking at the same object as the object used for the reference image, the new target image and the previously stored reference image may not match completely, due to variations in the illumination conditions and the ambient light.
  • Page 125 The "illumination (light level) monitor" is a function which automatically monitors the environmental lighting conditions when measuring objects. If the illuminance exceeds the alarm density setting, the IV-C35M will display an alarm message. Interline transfer system The interline transfer system is a system for transferring electrical charges from the CCD receiving elements to the readout matrix.
  • Page 126 Glossary Main axis angle The acute angle between the longitudinal and horizontal axes of a shape in the image after the measurement object is converted to binary. This angle cannot be measured for nearly circular or square-shaped objects. Mask window The image being examined may contain an area that does not need to be processed.
  • Page 127 (e. g.: 120 horizontal lines) can take only 25 % of the time to read the entire image. The IV-C35M can automatically determine the width of the partial image window. You can change back and forth between reading the whole image and a partial image.
  • Page 128 In order to make a partial reading of the CCD image at high speed, the IV-C35M is equipped with the detection function described above with the works just like a proximity sensor to trigger the CCD.
  • Page 129 And, by extracting or emphasizing certain image features, it is easier to evaluate or identify target objects by converting the images into standard patterns. In the IV-C35M, you can select a "smoothing (average, center)," "edge emphasis," "edge extraction," "horizontal edge," and "vertical edge."...
  • Page 130 -A "pixel" is one picture element (DTECT PRECISION: STANDARD (detection precision: standard) in case of the IV-C35M). "Sub pixel" refers to a unit smaller than a single pixel (DTECT PRECI- SION: HIGH (detection precision: high) for 1/10 pixel in case of the IV-C35M).
