36. How Inspector I series 9 Improve Inspection Accuracy There are a number of different ways to improve the accuracy or robustness of the inspections if the Inspector for example fails to locate correct objects locates objects that are defect or has problems properly inspecting details on the objects 9 1 Improve the Locating of Objects If the Inspector has problems locating objects correctly try the following Fine tune the learned contours Change the Edge strength setting on the Object locator tab to adjust which contours that the Inspector uses for locating Also see sections 2 Locating the Object on page 8 and 7 3 Adjust Object Locator on page 24 Modify the size and shape of the object locator region Try to remove contours that are not distinguishing for the object for example contours in the background If there are no contours in the background then it is good if the Object locator region blue covers the object with a margin Mask out difficult areas Areas that are known to vary between images such as date codes or highly reflective areas should be ignored in the object locator region This is achieved by masking the area Deselect Allow rotation if possible If the objects are never rotated compared with the reference object deselecting Allow rotation will avoid having the Inspector confusing rotated contours from the correct ones In some applications this threshold can be used to discard object
