PPT Vision PinPoint Pattern Vision Algorithm for Industrial Applications

PPT VISION announces its PinPoint Pattern Find tool, which provides an ideal solution for a broad range of vision applications. From robotic guidance to label inspection, PPT VISION’s proprietary PinPoint Pattern Find tool is improving manufacturing processes.

Machine Vision systems commonly use a series of edge or BLOB (Binary Large OBject) algorithms to locate and inspect parts. The functionality and benefits of edge and BLOB tools are claimed to be surpassed with IMPACT’s PinPoint Pattern Find. PinPoint Pattern Find delivers the simplicity of applying a single tool with the power to adjust for variable location, rotation and reflectivity.

“The PinPoint Pattern Find tool is rapid and easy to deploy,” said PPT VISION CEO Bob Heller. “Variably positioned part location, inspection and identification challenges are conquered by IMPACT’s powerful PinPoint Pattern Find algorithm.”

The same IMPACT software suite is included with all 21 PPT VISION smart camera models. The IMPACT software emulator runs on any Windows PC. PPT VISION’s IMPACT emulator software is useful for programming and adjusting IMPACT smart camera inspections off-line, without any camera hardware.
