1. Introduction
1. Introduction
1.1 Vision Guide Overview
1.1.1 Purpose of Vision Guide
Vision Guide is a machine vision system created to help EPSON robots to "see". Our
primary goal was not just to allow our robots to see but to see better than any other robots
available. While Vision Guide is more than capable for many different types of machine
vision applications, its primary focus is to provide the vision tools necessary to solve robot
guidance applications. Locating and moving parts, part inspections, and gauging
applications are some of the typical applications for Vision Guide. In fact almost any
application that requires motion and vision integrated together is a good candidate
application for Vision Guide and EPSON robots.
One of the primary differences between Vision Guide and other vision systems is that
Vision Guide was made as an integrated part of the EPSON robot systems. As a result you
will find many features such robot to camera calibration procedures built into the Vision
Guide system. The net result is a great reduction in time to complete your vision-based
application.

1. Introduction
2 Vision Guide 6.0 Rev.5
1.1.2 Features of Vision Guide
Some of the primary features/tools provided with Vision Guide include the following:
- Integrated calibration routines that support several camera orientations and calibrations.
Calibration is made much simpler than with other robot vision systems.
- Point and click interface for quick prototyping where the prototype vision sequences can
actually be used in the final application.
- Complete integration into the EPSON RC+ programming and development environment.
- Blob analysis tools that measure the size, shape, and position of objects with variations.
There are also tools that count the number of holes within and tell the roundness of a
given blob.
- Geometric pattern search that searches for a model based on geometric part features.
- Normalized correlation search tool which locates objects under varying light conditions
using an advanced template matching technique
- Edge detection tool that locates a specific edge with sub-pixel accuracy.
- Polar Search is a high-speed angular search tool that can quickly measure the rotation of
complex objects. This tool is very useful for vision guided robot pick and place
applications.
- Line and point tools that provide a mechanism for creating lines between points and
measurement capabilities as well.
- Frame tool that allows all vision tools to be dynamically located based on a frame of
reference.
- An object reference mechanism that allows one vision tool's position to be based on
another vision tool's result thus saving hours of development time.
- Histogram charts provide a powerful mechanism for looking more closely at pixel data
as well as setting proper thresholds for tools that require it.
- Statistics calculations are built in to provide mean, standard deviation, range, min and
max values and a variety of other statistics that can be referenced for each vision tool at
design-time or runtime.
- Automatic compensation for imperfections in camera lens and camera to part angular
discrepancies
- Support for color cameras and images including a ColorMatch tool and a ColorFilter
operation.

1.2 What's Inside This Manual
Introduction
Provides a quick reference to prepare the user for the rest of this manual. Includes
information about how to use help, safety and assumptions on the users basic
understanding of EPSON RC+.
Installation
Describes Vision Guide product configurations and hardware and software installation
steps.
Quick Start: Your First Vision Guide Application
This chapter is useful for first time users as it guides you through a sample Vision Guide
application. This section goes through everything from creating a new vision object, to
calibrating a Vision Guide 6.0 mobile camera and actually moving the robot to a part
found by Vision Guide.
The Vision Guide Window
Shows the layout and gives a usage explanation for the Vision Guide window. Includes
information on the Vision Guide toolbar, Image Display, Run Panel, and the Object,
Sequence, and Calibration tabs.
Vision Objects
Describes the different types of vision tools available with Vision Guide and how to use
them.
Histogram and Statistics Tools
Describes Histogram usage for various vision object types including Blob, Correlation,
and Polar objects. Also describes the Vision Guide statistics tools from the Vision Guide
window with the Statistics dialog and from the SPEL+ Language through accessing
statistics properties.
Vision Sequences
Describes what vision sequences are, how to use and apply them. Also explains about
debugging techniques for Vision Guide Sequences.
Calibration
Explains the usage for the various calibration types.
Using Vision Guide with SPEL+
Shows how to run vision sequences from the SPEL+ language and how to access vision
properties and results. Also explains how to use Vision Guide results for robot guidance.
1. Introduction
4 Vision Guide 6.0 Rev.5
1.3 Robot Safety
Whenever you are working with robots or other automation equipment, safety must be the
top priority. The EPSON RC+ system has many safety features built in and also provided
for user access such as: E-Stop lines, Robot Pause Inputs, a Safety Guard Input, and other
various system inputs and outputs. These safety features should be used when designing
the robot cell.
Refer to the Safety chapter in the EPSON RC+ User's Guide for safety information and
guidelines.
1.4 Assumptions about the User's Knowledge of EPSON RC+
Vision Guide is an optional addition to the core EPSON RC+ Environment. In order to
use Vision Guide, you should be familiar with the EPSON RC+ Development and EPSON
Robots. For the purposes of this manual, it is assumed that the user is already familiar
with the following items:
- EPSON RC+ Project Management concepts and usage.
- Creating and editing SPEL+ programs with the EPSON RC+ program editor.
- Running SPEL programs from the Run window.
- The basic SPEL+ language constructs such as functions, variable usage, etc.
Those users not familiar with SPEL+ should attend an EPSON RC+ training class.
1.5 Related Manuals
There are other manuals in addition to this one that will prove useful when using EPSON
Vision Guide. These manuals are shown below:
- Vision Guide Properties and Results Reference Manual: Contains a complete
reference of all the properties and results available for vision sequences and vision
objects. Each property or result has a description of the property or result and detailed
information relating to it's proper usage, caveats, etc.
- EPSON RC+ User's Guide: Contains information on using the EPSON RC+ Robot
Control System.
- SPEL
+
Language Reference Manual: Contains a complete description of all
instructions and commands for the SPEL
+
language.
1.6 Training
As with any product, proper training always helps make the product easier to use, and
improves productivity. EPSON offers a complete set of regularly scheduled training
classes to bring our customers up to speed on EPSON products.
1. Introduction
Vision Guide 6.0 Rev.5 5
1.7 Using On-Line Help
EPSON RC+ has a context sensitive On-Line Help system that makes finding information
much easier than through using traditional manuals and books.
There are several ways to get help in EPSON RC+:
- Press the F1 function key at any time for context sensitive help. Help will be displayed
for the current item you are working with. This is very useful when you don't understand
a certain aspect of a screen or dialog. If you are editing a program, then help will be
shown for the SPEL
+
keyword that the cursor is on. This is useful for getting syntax
information about SPEL
+
language instructions.
- Click on the Help button for the current dialog box, if available.
- Select Contents from the Help menu to view the table of contents and select topics.
Topics are selected by clicking on the underlined text that is highlighted in green. (This
causes a jump to the topic of interest.)
- Select Contents from the Help menu, then press S or click the Search button to search for
information on a specific topic.
Once you are in the Help System you will notice that some items are highlighted in green
and underlined. These are hypertext links and when you click on this highlighted text, the
system will jump to the area in the Help System that is related to the highlighted text. You
will also notice that some text is highlighted in green with dotted underlines. Clicking on
this type of text will cause a small popup window to appear with a more detailed
description of the highlighted text and possibly related information that you can jump to.
Most of the information found in this manual is also available in the Vision Guide Help
System although it may be arranged a little differently to provide the proper hypertext
links and ease of use.
