ContourMode Property

Applies To
Vision Object: Contour

Description
Defines the edge detection method for Contour objects.

Usage

VGet  Sequence.Object.ContourMode, var
VSet  Sequence.Object.ContourMode, value
Sequence
Name of a sequence or string variable containing a sequence name.
Object
Name of an object or string variable containing an object name. The object must exist in the specified sequence.
var
Integer variable that will contain the value of the property.
value
Integer value or expression for the new value of the property.

Values

  • 1 - Blob
    • Vision constant: VISION_CONTOURMODE_BLOB
    • Use Blob mode.
  • 2 - Line
    • Vision constant: VISION_CONTOURMODE_LINE
    • Use Line mode.
  • 3 - Arc
    • Vision constant: VISION_CONTOURMODE_ARC
    • Use Arc mode.

Default: 1

Remarks
Defines the edge detection method for Contour objects.

Blob mode
Detects workpieces in a search window as a blob and outputs its contour. This can be used to retrieve the contour from complex-shaped workpieces.
Line mode
Detects edges with multiple edge search lines positioned side by side, and sets these edges as contour points. This can be used to retrieve contours with minimal unevenness along parts of a workpiece.
Arc mode
Detects edges with multiple edge search lines positioned radially, and sets these edges as contour points. This can be used to retrieve contours on circular arcs on a workpiece with minimal unevenness.
