3. Overview of SC-20
SC-20 can be used to judge the degree of similarity of a master image and camera image.
It supports automatic judgment by the pattern matching function and manual judgment by visual checking.
SC-20 has three work modes. The matching mode is described in the Quick Start Guide.
1. Matching mode
2. Check mode
3. Data input mode
Register a combination of work modes to the workflow and then operate the device.
For details on the workflow, see the “Configuration example of workflow” below.
Creating a workflow (→P. 23)
1. Matching mode:
This mode judges the degree of similarity (shape pattern, color, or texture) of a master image and camera image using
the pattern matching function.
The matching methods are as described below.
Relative search:
If an anchor point has been set when creating the workflow, this method makes a judgment by searching for the
anchor point from the camera image and searching for the check points according to the relative position from the
anchor point.
Absolute search:
If an anchor point has not been set when creating the workflow, this method assumes the top left of the camera
image as the reference position (x: 0, y: 0), and makes a judgment by searching for the check points according to
the absolute position from the reference position.
Use an absolute search when the target is fixed.
Matching mode execution screen:
Displays the image set for the
check points.
Displays the image set for
the anchor point.

When the color similarity check is set (when [Color Recognition] is set for [Check Method]), a color bar ( ) is displayed
at the top left of the check point image.
When the texture similarity check is set (when [Texture] is set for [Check Method]), a checkered pattern ( ) is
displayed at the top left of the check point image.
When the inversion of each similarity judgment logic is set (when [Inversion] is set for [Similarity]), an arrow ( ) is
displayed at the left center of the check point image.
If you are using any other mode (check mode, data input mode), refer to “SC-20 Operating Instructions”.
