With Scorpion images are generated or captured in three ways:

• Captured from an image source
  • normally a camera connected to scorpion
• Loaded from file
  • often used to simulate or test a vision system
• Generated from the inside of scorpion
  • often as a result of processing other images
  • the ImagerConverter and ColorSegmentor tools are producing images

The following properties are defined in the Image Configuration dialog

• Active - Used to enable the image. Images generated from the inside of Scorpion shall not be active
• Image - the name of the image specified by the user.  The name is displayed as a caption to the image.
• Camera - Used to select the camera connected to the image when not in simulation mode
• Rotation - defines the rotation
• Load images from file - The image is read from file with the given path and filter. This image path is also used as source if you mark the Simulate box in the main image settings window.
• Path - specifies the path to load simulation images
• Filter - filter to select a subset of images
• Rotation - defines rotation for images loaded from files

Note: The path can be relative to the current directory.
