File Management

  • project.seyr - An XML file responsible for feature and pattern following parameter storage
  • SEYRreport.txt - Streaming output for SEYR data
  • SEYRdebug.txt - Streaming output for debug data to help improve SEYR or better understand the report
  • #.seyrup - A compressed package composing of the above files whose name increments as files are created. These files are used for parsing by XferSuite. In a pinch, it can be uncompressed using 7-Zip or by changing the file extension to .zip and using the default extraction method.
  • Images directory - A place for the host program to save images if requested

Viewer

All images processed by SEYR are displayed in the Viewer.

Each time the project is validated, the Viewer locks into the top corner of the screen.

Some debug messages are reported to the banner at the bottom of the Viewer.

There are 3 possible states for the viewer:

There is an additional Idle state for if features are created and none of them are saving images.

Composing a Project

Lower the Scaling % until feature definition begins to diminish.

The composer uses the host program's value of pixels per micron to convert.

Left-click the Feature Grid panel to place a node on the grid.

Either adjust the Angle (degrees) or use the Deskew option in the Tools menu.

Adjust the other grid parameters to align the grid with the desired tiles within the image. Some applications will only use one tile.

Add a feature in the lower right panel and double click the new feature to edit its information.

Feature names should not contain spaces or special characters. If a feature is redundant, use a number at the end (Red1, Red2, Red3).

Toggle on Save Image to save a greyscale image of that feature to the report. The more images saved, the longer it takes to process a frame and the larger the report file sizes gets.

Flip Score will make low scoring features lie on the "Green" end of the scale and high scoring features lie on the "Red" end of the scale.

Adjust the Threshold slider to enhance the most reliable edges of the feature.

The Null Filter % is an advanced parameter that governs how many white or black pixels must be present to classify the feature as null.

Null features can be treated as passing or failing based on the Null Detection Type. Note that this parameter cannot be adjusted afterwards and all null detected data-points are static, while scored data-points can be adjusted in the parser.

Make sure to click Save All in the top left corner as often as possible as there is no undo button.

Stamp Inspection

This feature is not fully developed and can be tailored to customer needs.

Set the Scaling and Threshold as done in the Composer.

Draw Stamp Posts with the left mouse button and draw Masks with the right mouse button.

Green boxes indicate Stamp Posts, red pixels indicate debris and white pixels are masked.

The data from a Stamp Inspection SEYR run is saved to a special report in the selected SEYR directory and it can be parsed with a matching Advanced Tool in XferSuite.
