Panasonic MICRO-IMAGECHECKER PV310 Use Manual page 131

Subtraction
The Subtraction function extracts pixels that exceed a certain degree of the difference in the grayscale value
when the detected image is covered with the template. With this feature, the PV310 can detect up to 128
subtraction parts that are difficult to reflect the correlation value, and judge based on the number of subtraction
parts exceeding a certain degree of the difference in the grayscale value.
Item Description
Subtraction Extracts pixels that exceed a certain degree of the difference in the grayscale value between the
Threshold detected image and the template. The lower the Subtraction Threshold value, the stricter
extraction standard is.
Filter Dilates or erodes the extracted pixel clusters, or does so after dilation or erosion. Use the Filter
function to enhance the extracted pixel cluster or remove fine noises or dusts.
Subtraction Detects only the clusters of the filtered extraction pixels having the area value more than the
Area Min. Subtraction Area Min. For example, if you want to exclude the 10 pixel or less extracted
subtraction parts from the standard for judgment, set Subtraction Area Min. to "11".
Subtraction A standard value of a detected pixel cluster. If the number of detected pixel clusters is less than
number the subtraction number, the object will be judged as "OK".

Item Details
Subtraction The range from 0 to 245760 is available. After
Area Min. changing the value, press the ENTER key.
Subtraction The range from 0 to 255 is available. Default
Threshold Subtraction Threshold is set to 50. Set to the lower
Subtraction Threshold value to extract even a pixel
having the small difference in the gray value. After
changing the value, press the ENTER key.
