Live measurement

Objects are instantly recognized and measured in real time ensuring very fast measurement operations.

Object tracking by recognition

Synthetic models of multiple objects can be created from images or .dxf files. The software recognizes every object in any position and with whatever rotation within the field-of-view.

Measurement program auto-search

The software can automatically recognize the object and apply its specific pre-defined measurement program. Based on the image, the software search for all the projects that best fit it, and returns a list of results.

Self-detection of geometric primitives

Geometric primitives can be either automatically identified or defined by the operator. This allows for the analysis tools to be easily created with a simple click from within a dedicated set-up window.

Episcopic measuring tool

This tool is dedicated to measurement on front-illuminated (episcopic) setups. It doesn’t require time-consuming parametrization and is extremely robust on variations of illumination and contrast. The tool automatically identifies the object primitives, even if scarcely visible or defined by low contrast, where a clear edge extraction is not easy with standard tools. Measurements resulting are repeatable and stable.

Accurate control of fitting primitives

Geometric primitives can be point-by-point controlled by means of statistical tools: point distribution can be checked and used to apply filtering process.

Creation of part and/or assembly program

With Horus it’s possible to create multiple project files related to the same part. With this method, particularly indicated for multi cameras systems, you can use multiple projects to analyze the same part in different way, e.g. front view vs top view or side view.

Statistical reports

Measurement values are saved in a database configured for easily checking and reviewing historical and statistical trends. Data can be read, modified, exported in CSV format and the reports printed. Other export format can be developed upon request.

Simple features creation tool

Creating dimensions, geometric shapes and any other feature is always guided by descriptions and commands suggested graphically in the user interface. Horus can manage easily either typical elements of CAD modelling (intersections, axes, perpendicularity and parallelism, etc.) or geometric nominal values and tolerances by automatic or tool-aided creation of dimensional data boxes.

Crosshair

Crosshair function for manual measurements allows for the analysis to be made also in situations where the processing is difficult due to part/environmental conditions and automatic tools might not be enough. The graphical user interface helps as always in defining distances, diameters or angles.

Advanced image edge management

Black-to-white transition curves are analyzed and the most appropriate edge placement and position correction is applied using sub-pixel accurate edge extraction. Different edge corrections can be applied to ensure maximum results and compensate material and shape refraction.

Advanced system calibration and optimization

A complete set of advanced tools ensure the calibration and optimization of all the variables of the system to reach high accuracy and consistency. Our calibration procedures ensure maximum measurement constancy over the entire field of view, thus making the measurement much less sensitive to object displacement over the field of view. Lens calibration, light alignment, object plane control and adjustment and autofocusing tool combined with motorized vertical axis ensure optimum performance by minimizing any measurement issues arising from system asymmetry or misalignment.

Flexible camera interface

Horus supports cameras compliants with GeniCam, GigEVision, USB3 Vision and other main camera standards. Other types of cameras can be very easily integrated upon request.

Motorized axis and light control integration

Horus is compatible with pre-defined motion control units. Z axis, for best image focusing, is driven and controlled by the application. XY translation stage readout, calibration and control, for CNC-type measurement machine, can be easily integrated though proprietary or customer specific axes control, together with a fourth axis providing the rotational degree of freedom. Non-standard motion controllers can be integrated upon request.

Smart light control integration

Horus is compatible with pre-defined illumination control units. The light control tool manages illuminators and specifically ringlights with 1, 4 or 8 sectors. A smart control of multi-sector ringlights is possible, where specific sectors are turned on depending on the part orientation and location on the FoV. Non-standard illumination controllers can be integrated upon request.

Touch support

Horus is designed to be used with ease even without keyboard or mouse. All menus, functions, filters and tools are right at your fingertips.

Multi language support

Horus comes in 5 different languages: EN, DE, FR, IT, ZH.

Circle calibration

Instead of using a chess calibration, with this feature it is possible to use a plate with circles as a calibration reference, enlarging the possibility of the calibration.

In the example it is possible to check how the calibration is performed and the adjustment done by the software.

DXFCamera

The DXF Camera plugin allows to upload a .dxf file from the local storage and transform it into a analyzable image in Horus. Technical applications result much easier and time saving using this tool.

As shown in the pictures, first a .dxf is imported and then the analysis is performed using quotes, tolerances and so on.

As the other tools and features in Horus the access is simple and clear: from the camera setting, select dxf camera and the .dxf file that has to be loaded.

Thread

The thread tool is a plugin that allows to highlight the conformity of a thread. It points out the measurements, as distances, diameters or angles, outside the tolerances.

Thread ISO

The thread ISO tool has the capability to visualize steps, angles and diameters (internal and external) quotes of a thread just selecting an area containing the object.

The main difference between THREAD and THREAD ISO is the level of detail, THREAD shows the part faults, THREAD ISO measures every element in the object.

Gear

In the detail it is possible to see how the object is treated by the analysis. To every element recognized is assigned a label, in the side menu is specified a quote corresponding to the assigned name.

Once a gear is detected, the tool shows by default the main parameters into several labels allowing a fast and precise insight.

ADVANCED TOOL O RING

The aim of this tool is to perform a dimensional analysis of O-Rings, reporting the relative quotes of the external diameter, internal diameter, section and concentricity.

PHOTOMETRY

The photometric analysis is executed by hitting the target with a light beam from different shooting angles in order to highlight the presence of riffle on the surfaces.

From this test, it is possible to obtain two types of data, the first one is the joint of the frames from different shooting angles and the second that shows the riffles through a graphical elaboration.

The examples show the final results, the first one is product of several images whilst the second one is realized with the aim to highlight scratches and defects.

DEPTH FROM FOCUS

With certain object there is the risk to lose the focus on some part of the analyzed target. In the example is shown one of the most common situation where it is performed a strong zoom, which drives to loose the focus on the wither the closer or the further object.

The following tool is created to overcome this problem by taking and elaborating several images with different zooming level (the number and the zooming are decided by the user). The result is a compound of the pictures.

The resulting image can be used in Horus as a normal input for a new program.

TIELAB

Tielab is a software development kit (SDK) focused on artificial vision projects through which the developer can use all the features and potentiality of Horus, inside his own application. In particular, Tielab is a flexible tool that allows to make the integration of Horus possible inside a custom application, in order to adapt it with the all the different costumers requests.

Through Tielab it is possible to access the devices control as drives, industrial cameras, light controllers and plc. Interact with them with the aim to create, edit and load measurement project, making it, in fact, a perfectly integrated tool inside the programming environment.

Moreover, Tielab supports .NET applications as C#, VB .Net, C++ and F#; in addition, both parellel programming and multitasking are easily implementable in some line of code.

In the end, Tielab supports applications written in LabView, transforming them as elements usable inside the machine cycle.

In the example is shown an extract of the SDK

STITCH

The stiching tool allows to obtain an image that is a stiching of several images. This tool is created for machines controlled by encoders that have two degrees of freedom through two axis parallel with the object plane.

One of the features is the possibility to choose the referring coordinates: either the encoder reference or, in case to not depend on that, an optical reference, called marker which is decide by the user (as shown in the picture).

The acquisition could be manual or automatic, whilst the number of picture taken is always decide by the user. Once the stitching is performed, the resulting image can be used in Horus as a normal input for a new program.
