Hi,
I am trying to find a way to use the pattern match tool to get the best match of a group of parts. Once I get the best match I need to apply other vision tools to the best matched part to get a proper orientation for a robot pick operation.
Right now this is what I am doing:
1) Get matches to pattern (usually I get about 6)
2) Assign coordinate system to first match (would love to be able to assign to best match but can't find a way to do it).
3) Apply other vision tools to first match to find small part feature to get part orientation for a pick operation.
(This method works most of the time but I need to improve it. If I could use the best match instead of the first match, then I think my success rate would improve greatly.)
I know I can get an array of matches and then search the array to get the best match but I can't figure out how to do this while staying in a NI Vision routine. Is there a way to choose the best match while still in a vision routine, or is there a way to apply a coordinate system to a match after leaving NI vision and returning to LabVIEW so that when I reenter NI vision, I can apply that coordinate system to the best match part from a previous pattern match?
Thank You
