Filtering The Images (Filter Items) - Omron FQ2-S4 User Manual

Note
Specify the Camera image for the first filter item for image processing.
If you execute more than one filter item for the image, set the source image for the other filter items to the previous
image.
Also, you can perform image processing with filter items only to enable processing with position compensation
items.
In that case, only the position information from position compensation is applied to the image to be measured.
For details, refer to Using Filter Items for Processing with Position Compensation Items on page 77.

Filtering the Images (Filter Items)

You can filter the images that are taken by the Camera to make them easier to measure.
This is used in the following cases.
• To cut unnecessary backgrounds so that they are not measured
• To remove noise
• To stably find the edges of marks when other edges have been clearly extracted
