Setup

Reference - Reference system selection

Search area - The search area is a rectangle. The ROI specifies the area to search for the template(s).

  • If Use whole picture is checked, the ROI is extended to surround the whole incoming picture.

The ROI can be managed by the buttons

  • Paste - paste the ROI from the image to the scorpion clipboard
  • Copy - copy the ROI to the image from the scorpion clipboard

Point & Click Clipboard Support

The rectangular roi is defined by four points.


 One point will change the center point.

Match threshold and algorithm

  • Threshold - default is 100 - can be lowered to increase the pattern matcher's sensitivity
  • Raw% - default 80% - defines the threshold used when searching with decimated templates
    • this is a percentage of the Threshold value. Lower values will increase search time and sensitivity of tf3.

Note: selecting the right threshold and raw % can be difficult - the proper thresholds can in many cases only be set when good templates and polygon models are in place based on a large image set.

  • Optimized rotation - use a slower and more stringent matching algorithm
    • when off a faster algorithm is used - this works ok with smaller mask areas
    • should be turned on using rotated templates

Score calculation - a match is calculated from both the template cross correlation result and the polygon match percentage (polygon points that matched). These numbers are normalised and weighted by the polygon match weight factor. Select 0% to ignore polygon match, 100% to ignore cross correlation in the total score.

Status

  • Tool fails if nothing is found - if checked, the tool returns status 3 (fail) if no templates are matched. Other tools linked to the TemplateFinder3 tool will then not be run.
