The software also expands support for larger line-scan images and introduces Inspectedge, an easy-to-use family of tools for detecting edge defects and inspecting edge pairs. The Inspectedge tool is said to give users the flexibility to solve vision applications that rely on accurate edge detection, such as finding dents in can lids or edge cracks in solar wafers. Inspectedge finds gaps and defects in both straight and circular-shaped edges, and can inspect the width of features for gaps and defects by tracking multiple edge pairs. Support for irregular shapes in Inspectedge enables better performance on challenging width inspections, such as automotive glue beads. The tool's graphical user interface is said to make it simple to set-up an edge inspection and also gives users more flexibil...
