This setting also needs to be fairly high (>75) if you are having any problems getting pefectly clean edges. This high setting helps prevent imperfections in the edge from being counted as a seperate edge. + +* Circle Match Distance - How close the centroid of a contour must be to the center of the circle in order for them to be matched. This value is usually pretty small (<25) as you usually only want to identify circles that are nearly centered in the contour. + +* Radius - Percentage of the frame that the radius of the circle represents. + +* Max Canny Threshold - This sets the amount of change between pixels needed to be considered an edge. The smaller it is, the more false circles may be detected. Circles with more points along their ring having high contrast values will be returned first. + +* Circle Accuracy - This determines how perfect the circle contour must be in order to be considered a circle. Low values (<40) are required to detect things that aren't perfect circles. + +.. image:: images/pumpkin.png + :width: 600 + :alt: Dropdown to select the colored shape pipeline type. diff --git a/source/docs/getting-started/pipeline-tuning/images/pipelinetype.png b/source/docs/getting-started/pipeline-tuning/images/pipelinetype.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..906be5f6 Binary files /dev/null and b/source/docs/getting-started/pipeline-tuning/images/pipelinetype.png differ diff --git a/source/docs/getting-started/pipeline-tuning/images/pumpkin.png b/source/docs/getting-started/pipeline-tuning/images/pumpkin.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..f3979b6a Binary files /dev/null and b/source/docs/getting-started/pipeline-tuning/images/pumpkin.png differ diff --git a/source/docs/getting-started/pipeline-tuning/images/triangle.png b/source/docs/getting-started/pipeline-tuning/images/triangle.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..e54e0da8 Binary files /dev/null and b/source/docs/getting-started/pipeline-tuning/images/triangle.png differ diff --git a/source/docs/getting-started/pipeline-tuning/index.rst b/source/docs/getting-started/pipeline-tuning/index.rst index 7af6909d..ffca63f4 100644 --- a/source/docs/getting-started/pipeline-tuning/index.rst +++ b/source/docs/getting-started/pipeline-tuning/index.rst @@ -8,6 +8,7 @@ Pipeline Tuning input thresholding contour-filtering + colored-shape output calibration 3D
