10. Robot Vision slide10 Vision Strategy 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 Robot co-ordinate system X Y Origo Picking point Angle

11. Robot Vision slide11 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. Robot Vision slide12 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. Robot Vision slide13 Understanding lens correction and robot calibration Correction of lens distortion is independent of distance to the object The lens correction is done in one plane and valid for all robot 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 Robot plane 1 Robot plane 2 Robot plane 3

33. Robot Vision slide33 Using a Blob to locate the object Add a new tool in the toolbox: –Name= FindObject –Tool = BlobTool 1 2 3 4

34. Robot Vision slide34 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. Robot Vision slide35 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. Robot Vision slide36 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. Robot Vision slide37 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. Robot Vision slide38 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. Robot Vision slide39 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, blob[0] (3) –Number of ”Holes” in blob[0](4) –If there is more than 1 blob you will find values for blob[1-n] also 1 2 3 4

40. Robot Vision slide40 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. Robot Vision slide41 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. Robot Vision slide42 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 1.Mid point short edge 2.One corner of the long edge 3.Centre point of the small hole on the short edge

43. Robot Vision slide43 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. Robot Vision slide44 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. Robot Vision slide45 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. Robot Vision slide46 Find Ref Point image The image of the 4 point calibration grid is located in the directory MyRobotVision/References Follow the steps (1 – 5) and push the Snapshot button (6) until you get the right image 1 2 3 4 5 6

47. Robot Vision slide47 Configure FindRefPoints tool Follow the steps to set reference to “Calibration” (1), the correct search area (2) and threshold levels (3). To eliminate disturbing blobs from the text “5cm” activate Smallest area = 10 1 2 3 4

48. Robot Vision slide48 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 1234 X 8.128.6358.0558.55 Y 9.4859.788.9259.22 Point 1Point 2 Point 3Point 4

49. Robot Vision slide49 Robot co-ordinate system By moving the robot to the four points you get the equivalent robot co-ordinates 1234 X 0050 Y 0 0 Point 1Point 2 Point 3Point 4 Origo

50. Robot Vision slide50 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. Robot Vision slide51 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) 1 23

52. Robot Vision slide52 The different Reference system In the image you now have 3 different co- ordinate systems 1.The original Pixel systems (green) 2.The Calibration co- ordinate system (blue) 3.The Robot co-ordinate system (red)

53. Robot Vision slide53 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. Robot Vision slide54 Changes back to normal images To continuo we need to change back to the original images found in the directory: MyRobotVision/Images Follow the steps (1 – 5) and push the Snapshot button (6) to check that you get the right image 1 2 3 4 5 6

55. Robot Vision slide55 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. Robot Vision slide56 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. Robot Vision slide57 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. Robot Vision slide58 Changing the reference to Robot 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. Robot Vision slide59 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. Robot Vision slide60 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. Robot Vision slide61 Potential logical conditions in Robot 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. Robot Vision slide62 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. Robot Vision slide63 Object Present For testing whether an object is present we could choose different parameter 1.Number of blobs (could be sensitive to dirt and small particles that may be identified as blobs) 2.Size of Blob area – a known parameter for the specified product 3.We will use Blob area

64. Robot Vision slide64 Object Present logical condition 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 area[0] (5) and set the minimum conditions to 500 Normal value for the blob area is around 1100 1 2 3 4 5 6

65. Robot Vision slide65 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. Robot Vision slide66 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) Y X Y X

67. Robot Vision slide67 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. Robot Vision slide68 Multi Polygon and Multi ROI’s 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 ROI’s –One tool can operate in several ROI’s ROI-1 ROI-2 Mouse clicking points Point co-ordinates defining the ROI

69. Robot Vision slide69 Difference ROI in Blob2 Using two ROI’s 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. Robot Vision slide70 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 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

71. Robot Vision slide71 Editing multiple ROI’s Select the tab “Polygon” and you have an overview of the ROI’s Number 1 is a default ROI and number 2 is the polygon you added You can highlight the individual ROI’s by selecting “Highlight selection” To delete the default ROI highlight 1 and click on the “Delete” button Finally click on “Apply” 1 2 3

72. Robot Vision slide72 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. Robot Vision slide73 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

74. Robot Vision slide74 FindHole results 1.Click on “Visualisation this only” to remove visualisation from the other tools 2.Select the “Result” tab and you will find all the results 3.Number of Blobs 4.Centre of Gravity 1 2 3 4

75. Robot Vision slide75 The Guard function Used to activate tools only for a specific 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. Robot Vision slide76 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 1.Select the General tab 2.Click to the list of possible guard functions 3.Select “ObjectPresent” 1 2 3

77. Robot Vision slide77 In the Status column or in the Result tab you can see the status of the tool –Status = 1 - tool is OK –Status = 3 - there is an error in the tool –Tool is blocked by guard or reference –Tool is deactivated –Tool is not run –When tool is either blocked, deactivated or not run the Status in the result tab = 0 Status for tools Run through all images and see how status changes when there is no object

78. Robot Vision slide78 Toolbox overview In the toolbox overview you will find the following columns with info –1 = Status –2 = Processing time for the tool –3 = The name you gave the tool –4 = The type of tool –5 = Image number reference –6 = The reference used by the tool –7 = The guarding tool 1234567 Hint: to see all columns you may have to adjust the column widths

79. Robot Vision slide79 Understanding Geometry tools The Geometry tools are used to create new points and lines based on results from previous tools Typical applications: –To construct geometrical structures without image processing techniques –Do measurements Distances between lines and points Length and angle of lines

80. Robot Vision slide80 Make the reference line Add a new tool named “ReferenceLine” and select the tool “LineFromPoints” Guard with “ObjectPresent” condition Use ExternalRefSystem (Robot co-ordinates) as reference and select centre of gravity of the object as point 1 and centre of gravity of the outer hole as point 2 1 23 4 5 6 7

81. Robot Vision slide81 Reference Line check Scorpion visualise a line between the two points and a direction (from point 1 to point 2) In the result tab you will find results as length and angle If one of the points are missing the tool will have an error (status = 3)

82. Robot Vision slide82 Configure the ReferenceLineOK logic tool We can use a logical tool to establish a condition validating the ReferenceLine The procedure is: –Name: “ReferenceLineOK” –Tool: Logical tool –Guard: “ObjectPresent” –Add new logical parameter –Select Tool: ReferenceLine –Parameter: Status –Min and Max condition = 1 Check the result 1 2 3 4 5 6

83. Robot Vision slide83 Create the local co-ordinate system Based on the Reference Line and Centre of Gravity of the object we can create e new co- ordinate system. –Name: RotationRefSystem –Tool: PointLine Reference –Guard: ReferenceLineOK 1 2 3 4

84. Robot Vision slide84 Define the co-ordinates Select “ExternalRefSystem” to link this co-ordinate system to the robot system Select Centre of Gravity as the origo point Select ReferenceLine as the Line and the co- ordinate system will follow the rotation of the object 1 2 3 4

85. Robot Vision slide85 Scorpion co-ordinate systems We now have 4 co-ordinate systems 1.The Pixel system (green) 2.The Calibration system (blue) 3.The Robot system (ExtrenalRefSystem) (red) 4.The Rotation system (light blue) –With the cursor you can toggle between the systems 1 2 3 4

86. Robot Vision slide86 OK condition - Object Present Double click on the existing OK state Now you can enter a name, description and select the colour for display in the result panel

87. Robot Vision slide87 Defining the OK (Present) condition Click on ”Constrains” and ”New” The box shows a list of all available logical classifications in the Toolbox Select ”ObjectPresent” The OK condition is now true when the logical classification ”ObjectPresent” is true (=1) 1 2 3 4

88. Robot Vision slide88 Including ReferenceLineOK The OK condition is also dependent of that 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. Robot Vision slide89 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

90. Robot Vision slide90 Adding a NoObject Condition Click on ”New” for adding a new condition Name it ”No Object” Select Yellow as background colour (when this condition is true the result panel will be yellow) 1 2 3

91. Robot Vision slide91 Configuring the No Object condition To define the No Object condition we can use ObjectPresent Logical classification Click on ”New” and select ”ObjectPresent” To make the No Object condition true when the logical classification ObjectPresent is false, we invert the statement by pushing the invert button

92. Robot Vision slide92 Testing No Object State Run through the pictures and check: –the result of the both conditions (true or false) –The colour and text in the result panel

93. Robot Vision slide93 Adding Cannot Measure Rotation logic condition Add a new state –Name it “Cannot Measure Rotation” –Select background colour “Red”

94. Robot Vision slide94 Configure Cannot Measure Rotation The constrains needed are: –Object present –ReferenceLineOK “ReferenceLineOK” must be inverted to give the result true (=1 in the result) when the line is failing

95. Robot Vision slide95 Testing the logic conditions Run through all images and check that all logical conditions are working correctly

96. Robot Vision slide96 Displaying measurement values Any results from any tool can be displayed in the result panel We want to display the inner and outer radius Position the mouse inside the result panel and right click, select ”General”, ”No of measumentvalues” and enter 3 for 3 values Check the result panel 1 2 3 4

98. Robot Vision slide98 Add name and unit to the value Position the mouse over Tag Value 2, right click, select Measured Values and Caption. Enter the name ”X value:” Through the same procedure you can add unit (mm) and change the number of decimals Repeat the procedure for displaying the outer radius as Tag Value 2 and name it ”Y value” 1 2

99. Robot Vision slide99 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

100. Robot Vision slide100 Check all conditions

101. Robot Vision slide101 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. Robot Vision slide102 Adding a RS232 command In command sequence for Inspection click on ”New” Select ”RS232Cmd” Name the command ”SendStatus” 1 2 3 4 5
