In-Sight Spreadsheets Advanced Final Lab Section 1 – PatMax

Final Lab
Objective:
In this Final Lab, you will select some of the tools covered in this class – the ones that interest
you the most – and explore them further, using additional images of parts. The instructions
are deliberately less detailed than in the sectional labs, encouraging you to come up with
your own solutions. In some cases, there will be more than one way to solve the application.
Most of the exercises include sample jobs located in the same folders as the images.
• Part: Keys
• Estimated Time: 10-15 minutes
• Emulation: In-Sight 7400
• Tools: TrainPatMaxPattern and FindPatMaxPatterns
• Overiew: You will use four PatMax tools, each with a pattern for one of the four differently
shaped keys. Then you will inspect images of unknown keys to identify which pattern
each key matches best, based on the scores returned.

It is not expected that you complete all the sections of this Final Lab in the time allocated,
just those that are the most relevant to your applications.

the difficulty is that the fruit has shadows and glare, i.e., it is not a uniform color. After
trying MatchColor, try ExtractColor, which should be easier because it can handle the
shadows and glare as different colors.

1. Start a new job.

2. Browse to the images file in the Fruit folder.
3. Use PatMax to locate the parts, using the bottom half of the orange as the Model.

4. Add a TrainMatchColor to the job. Click on the “Add New Color” button and place
the tool region (Circle) around an area free of any other markings and represents the
color to train. Click on the Green Check Box or the “Enter” key.
5. Name each color to something more intuitive than Color_1. Orange will work for this
particular selection.
6. Repeat the process for Apple. Be sure to click on the appropriate image in the “Film
Strip’ to train on.
You will probably need to account for different intensities of a single color by using the
Color Tolerance Bar to adjust for lighter or darker appearances of each color.

Click “OK.” This will create a structure in a cell with the trained colors Library.
7. Add a MatchColor tool. Set the region of interest to cover ONLY the area where each
color will be displayed
NOTE: Making the Region of Interest too lage or small will affect the averaging of
pixels to determine a match. Example –Too large would include the background
pixels,too small –just saturated pixels, thus changing the average pixel color found.
Reference the Match Color Library parameter to the cell containing the
TrainMatchColor tool you just created.
Run the images through your job and see if it correctly identifies the fruits. If not, try
modifying training region(s), the matching region, and/or tolerance slider
Save your job as MyMatchFruit.
A sample solution job is provided in the Fruit folder.
8. Take a different approach by adding TrainExtractColor and ExtractColor tools,
treating the different light intensities as separate colors.
9. Compare the two approaches (Match vs. Extract) in terms of ease of use and
effectiveness.
10. Save your job as MyExtractFruit.

Final Lab Section 8 – Scripting The Snippets Menu displays.

In the two sub-sections of this lab, you will take a look at some existing scripts.

Exercise 8.1: Scripting with Multiple Gets for Results

• Part: none
• Estimated Time: 15 minutes
• Emulation: In-Sight 5705 and version 5.1 or later of In-Sight Explorer
• Tools: Script, Get
• Overview: This lab demonstrates the use of a Script with a variable number of inputs,
and four results that are inserted in spreadsheet cells by four Get functions.

At the end of this lab exercise, Participants will be able to:

- Change a spreadsheet to pass 12 input values to a Script instead of 10 values
- Change a JavaScript program to calculate an additional value and return it to the
spreadsheet

1. Start a New Job. No images are used.

2. Click on the Snippets tab in the Palette.

3. Open the Scripting category and drag the ArgumentsAndResults snippet into cell
A2 of the spreadsheet.

Page 19 Page 20
In-Sight Spreadsheets Advanced Final Lab In-Sight Spreadsheets Advanced Final Lab

The spreadsheet displays. 8. Find the part of the JavaScript program that looks like this:
return {
avg: avg,
stddev: stddev,
min: minAndMax.min,
max: minAndMax.max
}
}
NOTE: The ‘return’ tells the Script to return the four values calculated elsewhere in
the Script, naming the returned values avg, stddev, min, and max. The four Gets in
the spreadsheet use these same names.
9. Modify the Script so that it also returns the ratio min/max.
The return section will look like this:
return {
avg: avg,
stddev: stddev,
min: minAndMax.min,
max: minAndMax.max,
ratio: minAndMax.min/minAndMax.max
}
}
Description of Snippet: 10. Add another Get to the spreadsheet to display the ratio.
A4:A15 contain 10 numbers, generated by Rand (random number) functions. The updated spreadsheet displays.
D3: Script(A4:A15) – This executes JavaScript code written to calculate the
average, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum of the 10 numbers.
D4: Get(D3, “avg”) retrieves the average calculated by the Script
D5: Get(D3, “stddev”) retrieves the standard deviation calculated by the Script
D6: Get(D3, “min”) retrieves the minimum calculated by the Script
D7: Get(D3, “max”) retrieves the maximum calculated by the Script
NOTE: Each time the spreadsheet is executed, new random numbers are generated
by the Rand functions and sent to the Script.
4. Insert a Button function into cell B0 and change its trigger parameter to Manual.
NOTE: When running the Emulator, F5 or the toolbar trigger icon does not trigger the
spreadsheet.
5. Each time you click the Button, the spreadsheet will execute, the 10 input values
will change, and the average, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum will
update.
6. Add 2 more Rand functions in cells A16 and A17.
NOTE: This increases the number of values from 10 to 12. Each time you click the
button the spreadsheet will now process 12 values.
7. Double click on cell D3, which will display the JavaScript code.
NOTE: Read through the code to get a sense of how it works. Even if you are not
familiar with JavaScript, you can read the comments.
