Here you find a description of the most advanced Scorpion tools.

A set of flexible and useful polygon ROI tools makes Scorpion very well suited for a large number of advanced tasks.

The advanced Blob3 supports form of any shape - ideal for detecting presence of objects and print inspection. PolyLineEdgeFaults2 is used e.g. to detect contour errors on a letter in print inspection. All the tools can handle rotation, scaling and perspective when connected to a reference system.

To the left Blob3 is checking the letter R. The ROI consists of two user-defined polygons: One to define the outer contour and the other subtracting the interior contour.

The following advanced tools are available:

• Blob3 - An advanced Blob tool with multiple polygon ROI and classic constraints
• Blob4 - an enhanced Blob3 with the addition of shape classification
• MultiBlob - one tool with multiple blobs with integrated classification capabilities
• TemplateFinder2 - a powerful cross-correlation pattern matcher handling rotation, scaling and translation
• TemplateFinder3 - an enhanced TemplateFinder2 with an additional PolygonMatch fitting increasing speed, robustness and accuracy - very well suited for Robot Vision, OCR and OCV application - locates multiple objects
• TextureMatcher - Classify the surface of an object based on reference images
• PolygonMatch - locates a single object with sub-pixel accuracy based on a user defined polygon model
• PolyLineEdgeFaults2 - locates errors along a user defined polygon(s) - optional polygon match model fitting can be selected before edge detectionan - enhanced PolyLineEdgeFaults with shape classification
• PolyLineGapFinder - locates gaps along a path defined by multiple polygons
• ColorSegmentor - used for Color image segmentation
• ColorAnalyzer - classify a matrix grid into color classes based on reference images before performing a blob analysis to measure position and size of color objects
• SurfaceAnalyzer - The combination of TextureMatcher and ColorAnalyzer combined with shape classification
• ImageResampler - resamples an image based on a reference
• AreaFilter - a selection of filters to be run within a set of polygons
