Motion Detection in Multiple Locations

I've been recently messing around with the Vision Assistant, as instructed, and have had some headway, but would like to know something about one of the VA tools. The Straight Edges (Rake) tool has the 'angle' of the found line in the results (which seems pretty off to me) but when converted into a VI doesn't. I could calculate it myself from the line coordinates, but the tool when converted lists two 'edge' outputs, one of which has been 'calibrated'. Does anyone know what this calibration is and whether I should be using the calibrated or uncalibrated edge result to determine the angle of the edge in my image?

I am not sure about this. I can take a look at it and get back to you on that.

Meanwhile, you could try determining the angle with both the calibrated and uncalibrated edges to check which matches with the result from Vision Assistant.

You would have to calculate the angle within LabVIEW. The calibrated edge output only applies if you are calibrating your image beforehand. If you are not, use the uncalibrated edge output.

 

I hope that helps!
