Creating Your First Recipe

Once you have mounted the camera and connected to the OV10i software, follow the steps below to create your first recipe.

Creating a New Recipe​

Step 1: Access Recipe Creation​

From the All Recipes page, click + New in the top-right corner.

Step 2: Configure Recipe Details​

The Add A New Recipe dialog will appear.

Required Fields:

  • Name - Enter a name for the recipe (required). This name will appear on the All Recipes page.
  • Recipe Type - The OV10i uses classification recipes. Select the appropriate classification type from the drop-down menu.
Classification only

The OV10i supports classifiers only (pass/fail, presence/absence, multi-category decisions). For pixel-level defect detection (segmentation), you need an OV20i or OV80i.

Optional Fields:

  • Description - Enter a description for the recipe (optional). This will appear on the All Recipes page and at the top of the Recipe Editor page.

Step 3: Finalize Creation​

Click OK to create the new recipe.

The new recipe will be listed on the All Recipes page (Inactive).

Open the Recipe Editor​

note

To edit the recipe, the recipe needs to be active.

  1. Click Activate to the right-hand side of the recipe
  2. Click Activate and go to editor to confirm and open the Recipe Editor

Imaging Setup​

In this section, you will set up the camera to achieve a clear image of the object being inspected.

Configuration Steps:

  1. Click Configure Imaging at the lower left-hand side of the page
  2. Place the object being inspected in the camera's field of vision, using the live preview to verify it is in shot
  3. Adjust the Camera Settings on the right-hand side as required to achieve a clear image of the object
  4. Click Save Imaging Settings at the bottom-right of the page
note

For more information about Imaging Setup options, see Imaging Setup Fundamentals.

Template Image and Alignment​

In this section, you will capture a Template Image and optionally configure an aligner.

Step 1: Navigate to Template Setup​

From the Imaging Setup page, use the breadcrumb menu to select Template Image and Alignment. Alternatively, select Template Image and Alignment from the Recipe Editor.

Step 2: Capture Template Image​

Select Capture Template Image.

note

Once the Template Image has been captured, the preview pane (on the left-hand side) will display the Template Image, not a live preview of the camera's field of vision. To view a live preview from the camera, scroll down the page and select Live Preview Mode. To retake the Template Image, ensure the live preview is not enabled and click Re-Capture Template Image.

Step 3: Configure Aligner (Optional)​

If alignment is needed:

  1. Under Template Regions, select + Rectangle or + Circle (whichever matches the shape of the object being inspected)
  2. Reposition and resize the region to fit the object being inspected
  3. Under Settings, set the Rotation Range to 20 degrees. This allows the aligner to locate the object if it is rotated up to 20 degrees compared to the Template Image
  4. If required, adjust the Sensitivity and Confidence Threshold
  5. Click Save

If alignment is not needed: If your application does not require an aligner, toggle the Skip Aligner option and click Save at the bottom of the page.

note

To learn more about the Template Image and Alignment page and when to use the aligner, see Template Image & Alignment Theory.

Inspection Setup​

In this section, you will configure what you want the camera to inspect (Inspection Types) and where on the object you want it to perform the inspection (Inspection Regions).

Step 1: Navigate to Inspection Setup​

From the Template Image and Alignment page, use the breadcrumb menu to select Inspection Setup. Alternatively, select Inspection Setup from the Recipe Editor.

note

The preview pane (on the left-hand side) displays the Template Image, not a live preview of the camera's field of vision. To view a live preview from the camera, scroll down the page and select Live Preview Mode. To add or edit Inspection Types and Inspection Regions, ensure the live preview is not enabled.

Step 2: Configure Inspection Types​

Under Inspection Types, "Inspection Type 1" will appear by default. Click Edit to rename it.

note
  • Inspection Types refer to the different types (classes) of inspections being performed and allow you to group visually similar Inspection Regions (ROIs)
  • Inspection Regions (ROIs) refer to the area(s) where the inspection should be performed

Step 3: Add Inspection Regions​

  1. Under Inspection Regions, click + Add Inspection Region
  2. Reposition and resize the yellow box on screen to fit the specific area of the object you want to inspect
note

By default, the Inspection Region will be named "New ROI". Click Edit to change the name.

Step 4: Finalize Setup​

  1. Add as many Inspection Types and Inspection Regions as required for this recipe
  2. Click Save at the bottom of the page
note
