Vision Strategy
Robot co-ordinate system

• Calibration for correcting lens distortion to
  get high precision
• 4 point robot calibration to synchronize image
  and robot co-ordinate system
• Use blob to find centre of gravity of the object
• Use the big outer hole centre and mid hole centre
  to establish a local reference system handling
  rotation

Lens calibration

• In robot vision application the camera often have
  a large Field Of View (FOW) and a relative short
  distance to the object
• This require a wide angle lens and consequently
  large lens distortion
• Without correcting the distortion, the inaccuracy
  in the outer part of the FOW might cause the
  robot to fail picking the object correctly

12
4 point robot calibration

• By using 4 point calibration you can establish a
  co-ordinate system equal to the one used by the
  robot
• By moving the robot to the centre of each point
  the robot co-ordinates are found
• In Scorpion the centre of each is found in the
  Scorpion reference system
• This enable you to communicate pick up points and
  rotation in the robot co-ordinate system

13
Understanding lens correction and robot
calibration

• Correction of lens distortion is independent of
  distance to the object
• The lens correction is done in one planeand
  valid for allrobot planes

• Robot calibration is only valid for a specific
  distance to the object (Robot plane)
• For each different robot picking plane a
  individual robot calibration must be done
• Scorpion can handle multiple robot planes

34
Tool references

• All tools can have a Reference
• To relate Search area to a specific point (i.e.
  Centre of Gravity of an area)
• To relate Search area to a specific co-ordinate
  system, Calibration in this exercise

35
ROI Region of Interest

• Each tool can must be configure to search in a
  specific area on the image (Range of Interest
  ROI)
• Move the mouse to the centre of the image and
  read the X and Y coordinates.

• Enter the co-ordinates and specify the delta X
  and delta Y values
• The ROI visualisation is shown on the picture

36
Understanding the Blob tool

• A blob search for areas in the specified ROI with
  greyscale values within a given range
• Place the mouse on the object and read the
  greyscale value
• If the maximum Threshold is set to higher value
  and the minimum to a lower, the Blob tool will
  find the object

37
Apply your configuration

• To apply a new parameter set by you, the button
  apply must be pushed
• You can also set minimum and/or maximum
  requirements to the blob area to be located

38
Blob visualisation

• Through the visualisation you can see how the
  tool works on the image
• Activate only CenterofGravity, MaxContour and ROI
• Remember to push Apply to see the result!

39
Blob result

• In the result tab you find the different results
  of the blob tool
• Number of blobs (1)
• total blob area (2)
• centre of gravity of the largest blob, blob0
  (3)
• Number of Holes in blob0(4)
• If there is more than 1 blob you will find values
  for blob1-n also

40
Holes in a Blob

• A Hole is an area inside a blob with greyscale
  values outside the max and min values set in the
  blob tool

41
Picking location

• In this application the pick-up position is the
  centre of the object
• This is equal to the centre of gravity
  co-ordinates found for the blob

42
Strategies to find a picking location

• Geometrical characteristic of the object is used
  to find the correct picking localisation. In this
  example the centre of gravity was the correct
  picking location. However other localisations
  might very well be used as well. Below are some
  examples
• Mid point short edge
• One corner of the long edge
• Centre point of the small hole on the short edge

43
Co-ordinate systems

• The picking point is the centre of gravity of the
  blob. However the x,y co-ordinates we found in
  the blob is according to the Calibration
  co-ordinate system (Blue) used as the reference
  in the blob tool
• We now need to recalibrate according to the Robot
  Calibration system

44
4 point calibration steps

1. By moving the robot to the centre of each point
   the robot co-ordinates are found
2. In Scorpion the centre of each point is found in
   the Scorpion reference system
3. By using the ExternalReference tool Scorpion
   can calibrate the image in robot co-ordinates

45
4 point Robot calibration

• First we need to find the four points and their
  centre of gravity in the robot calibration grid
• Add a new tool in the toolbox
• Name FindRefPoints
• Tool BlobTool

46
Find Ref Point image
1

• The image of the 4 point calibration grid is
  located in the directoryMyRobotVision/References
• Follow the steps (1 5) and push the Snapshot
  button (6) until you get the right image

48
RefPoints co-ordinates

• In the Result tab you find the centre of gravity
  x,y co-ordinates
• Use the cursor in the image to check that you
  write the correct x and y values for point 1 4

External Reference tool

• Next we need to co-ordinate the image and robot
  co-ordinate systems
• Add a new tool in the toolbox
• Name ExternalRefSystem
• Tool ExternalReference

51
Configure ExternalRefSystem tool

• Select Calibration as a reference (1)
• Fill inn the local co-ordinates for all 4 points
  (2)
• Fill in the external coordinates for all 4 points
  (3)

52
The different Reference system

• In the image you now have 3 different co-ordinate
  systems
• The original Pixel systems (green)
• The Calibration co-ordinate system (blue)
• The Robot co-ordinate system (red)

53
Deactivate/active a tool

• The Blob tool FindRefPoints is only used to
  find the centres of each point during robot
  calibration
• During normal operation this tool has no task and
  should be deactivated (1) or deleted
• Highlight the tool FindRefPOints and click the
  button Deactivate

54
Changes back to normal images
1

• To continuo we need to change back to the
  original images found in the directoryMyRobotVis
  ion/Images
• Follow the steps (1 5) and push the Snapshot
  button (6) to check that you get the right image

55
Changing reference to the FindObject Tool

• To be able to find the centre of gravity x and y
  values we need to change the reference of the
  FindObject blob tool to the new
  ExternalRefSystem
• Open the tool named FindObject select Setup tab
  and push the button (1)
• Here you find the available references, but
  ExternalRefSystem is not THERE

1
56
Understanding the tool sequence

• All tools are executed in a sequence starting
  from the top of the toolbox
• Only results from tool being executed before can
  be used
• Therefore results from ExternalRefSystem cannot
  be accessed by FindObject

57
Editing the tool sequence

• By highlighting the tool and then using the Up
  and Down buttons, any tool can be moved
• Move the FindRefPoints to number 2 and
  ExternalRefSystem to number 3.

58
Changing the reference toRobot co-ordinates

• Now you can change the reference of the
  FindObject blob tool to the new
  ExternalRefSystem
• Open the tool named FindObject select Setup tab
  and push the button (1)
• Select the ExternalRefSystem

1
59
Adjusting the search area according to the new
reference system

• Since the reference system is changed, the
  parameter values must be changed to give the
  correct search area

60
Scorpion logical conditions

• In an industrial application a number of
  situations may occur
• In Scorpion you can define a set of conditions
  that will help you to handle the different
  situations during robot picking or inspection
• The worst scenario is that a situation occur and
  neither the vision system nor the robot knows how
  to handle it
• Then the system will fail and the process stop

61
Potential logical conditions inRobot Vision

• OK
• Object present
• Can measure rotation
• No Object
• Object NOT present
• Cannot measure rotation
• Object present
• Cannot measure rotation(missing the outer hole
  used to define rotation)

62
Understanding Logical Tool

• In a Logical tool any results in all prior tools
  can be tested against max and min conditions
• Typical applications are
• Establish OK and Fail conditions
• Testing measurements against tolerances
• Verify presence of object
• Validate type of object
• Validate functionality of a tool

63
Object Present

• For testing whether an object is present we could
  choose different parameter
• Number of blobs(could be sensitive to dirt and
  small particles that may be identified as blobs)
• Size of Blob area a known parameter for the
  specified product
• We will use Blob area

64
Object Present logical condition
1

• Add a new tool (1), name it ObjectPresent (2) and
  select the LogicTool (3)
• Open it and select the measured value from the
  tool FindObject (4) and the parameter blob
  area0 (5) and set the minimum conditions to 500
• Normal value for the blob area is around 1100

65
Checking the ObjectPresent tool

• Select the result panel and go through all images
  and check that the result is correct
• Object present should give Value 1
• Object absent should give Value 0

66
Controlling the orientation

• The task is to establish a new reference system
  that will give the rotation/angle relative to the
  external robot co-ordinate system (red)
• By finding the centre point of the outer big hole
  a reference line can be designed and using the
  centre of gravity of the blob as origo we can
  generate the new reference system (blue)

67
Find the outer big hole

• Add a new tool, name it FindHole and select the
  Blob2 tool
• Open the tool and select FindObject as the
  reference and Apply
• When FindObject is used as reference, the Centre
  of Gravity of the object represent centre X 0
  and Y 0 wherever the object is located on the
  image

68
Multi Polygon and Multi ROIs
Point co-ordinatesdefining the ROI

• Multi polygon ROI
• An ROI constructed from arbitrary points
• The ROI is constructed by clicking the mouse
  while the Ctrl button is pressed on the points
  defining the ROI
• Multi ROIs
• One tool can operate in several ROIs

ROI-1
Mouse clicking points
ROI-2
69
Difference ROI in Blob2

• Using two ROIs where ROI-2 is a segment inside
  ROI-1, the difference area will be the final ROI
  for the tool
• The red circle is ROI-1
• The blue circle is the ROI-2
• The search are is the difference, the grey area,
  and we can locate the the white outer hole

70
Define ROI-1

1. Select Add polygon tab
2. Select Circle polygon
3. Enter 0 for centre X and Y
4. Enter Radius 16 (mm). You can use the cursor to
   find the correct radius to use
5. Set Minimum threshold to 100 and maximum to 256
   since we are looking for white holes
6. Click on Add
7. Click on Apply and the ROI is active

71
Editing multiple ROIs

• Select the tab Polygon and you have an overview
  of the ROIs
• Number 1 is a default ROI and number 2 is the
  polygon you added
• You can highlight the individual ROIs by
  selecting Highlight selection
• To delete the default ROI highlight 1 and click
  on the Delete button
• Finally click on Apply

72
Constraints

• In many tools you can set a number of constraints
  to eliminate unwanted results
• In this case you may detect small blobs that have
  no interest
• They can be eliminated by setting constraints for
  the blob area
• Setting smallest blob area to 10 will eliminate
  these blobs

73
Define ROI-2

• Define the ROI-2 with the following parameters
• Centre X and Y 0
• Radius 10
• Add the polygon and then Apply
• You now have to polygons and you see the two
  circles visualised in the image

  condition
• Typical applications
• Selecting a set of tools tailored to a specific
  product (used when Scorpion is set to handle
  multiple products)
• To prevent tools from giving false results when
  the condition is not fulfilled

76
Configure the Guard function

• When the condition ObjectPresent is False (no
  object in the image), the FindHole tool have no
  meaning and should be guarded
• Select the General tab

  correct angle can be measures
• Correct angle can only be measured when the
  logical statement ReferenceLineOK is true
• Add ReferenceLineOK using the same procedure as
  for ObjectPresent

89
Testing the OK condition

• Run through all pictures and check the result of
  the condition (true or false) and the display on
  the result panel
• When no object and the object missing a hole
  occur, the result panel display Undefined
  Condition since no condition for No Object and
  No Reference line is yet defined

Adding angle value

• Finnaly select Tagvalue 3 and name it Angle
• In the tool RotationRefSystem you will find the
  parameter Angle
• Since the reference to this tool is the robot
  system (ExternalRefSystem) this value is relative
  to the robot co-ordinate system

Check all conditions

Sending data to a Robot or PLC

• We want to send status data (OK, No Object and
  Cannot Measure Rotation) using the RS232
  interface
• When the status is OK we want to send the data x,
  y and angle
• We will link the timing of sending the data to
  the event Inspection
• Initially the event inspection activate the
  command Inspect (running the tools)
• After that we want the system to send status data

102
Adding a RS232 command

• In command sequence for Inspection click on New
• Select RS232Cmd
• Name the command SendStatus

The command protocol

• Syntaxdparameter
• d format instruction for the result value
  (Integer number format)
• Parameter The parameter name from any of the
  tools in the toolbox
• To find the parameter description of the result
  push the Parameters button on the top toolbar
• Select ObjectPresent and Value and click on the
  copy button

104
Writing the command protocol

• Open the SendStatus command
• In the Parameter field write the following
• Statusd
• Place the cursor after the d and paste (right
  click the mouse)
• StatusdObjectPresent.Value

105
Adding Cannot Measure Rotation
3

• We can make a 2 bit code where the first bit is
  Object Present and second Cannot Measure Rotation
• Copy the parameter Value from ReferenceLineOK
  tool
• The parameters must be separated by a comma
• Add d to format the number
• Paste the parameter

Testing the Scorpion Profile

• Activate automatic inspection (push Start) and
  check that the status value sent over RS232 is
  correct for each inspection

108
New command for sending data

• When the logical condition is OK x, y and angle
  values should be sent also over RS232
• Add a new command after SendStatus
• Name SendData
• Command RS232
• Guard ReferenceLineOK

109
Configure the parameters

• f for floating point number format
• Tool RotationRefSystem
• Parameters
• Origo.x
• Origo.y
• Angle
• Remember to format each parameter and to separate
  them with a comma
