4.7.9 Feature Extraction

What Is Feature Extraction?
Feature Extraction binarizes an image captured by a
camera, detects a specified size of clusters of white or
black pixels (hereinafter called "object"), and then judges
as OK or NG depending on the measured number. The
checker outputs the feature quantity such as the
coordinates of a center of gravity or principal axis angle
(+/-90 degrees).
