Vision Configuration (taskVision)#

taskVision#

Vision parameters improve the visual representation of the image. They do not add new information to the measurement data and are mainly used for presentation.

The taskVision node contains the subnodes: adjustment, coloring and upscaleImage.

adjustment#

The adjustment node contains parameters that modify brightness and contrast. This can help to make details easier to see.

adjustment.brightness#

Adjusts the overall brightness of the image. A value of 0% means no adjustment.

Property Value
type Real
Value (default) 0
unit %
minInclusive -100
maxInclusive 100

adjustment.brightness decreased (left), default (middle) and increased (right):

Brightness decreased Brightness default Brightness increased

Practical note

With strongly decreased brightness, some details may become invisible (for example the attached label on the scissors).

adjustment.contrast#

Adjusts the contrast of the image. A value of 0% means no adjustment.

Property Value
type Real
Value (default) 0
unit %
minInclusive -100
maxInclusive 100

adjustment.contrast decreased (left), default (middle) and increased (right):

Contrast decreased Contrast default Contrast increased

Practical note

With strongly increased contrast, some details may become invisible (for example the effects in the background and the attached label on the scissors).

coloring#

The coloring node applies a color map to the image. This can help understanding and comparing different value ranges.

coloring.colorMapAbs#

Selects the color map used for images containing ABS information.

Default

The default is GREY, because a monochrome representation is usually sufficient for ABS data.

Dependency

Only used if ABS is included in the imaging parameter channelSelection.conversion.

Property Value
type Enum
Value (default) GREY
elements [GREY, JET, KINDLMANN, EXTENDED_KINDLMANN]

coloring.colorMapAbs GREY (left) and JET (right):

ABS GREY color map ABS JET color map

coloring.colorMapAbs KINDLMANN (left) and EXTENDED_KINDLMANN (right):

ABS KINDLMANN color map ABS EXTENDED_KINDLMANN color map

coloring.colorMapPhase#

Selects the color map used for images containing PHASE information.

Dependency

Only used if PHASE or ABS_PHASE is selected in channelSelection.conversion.

Property Value
type Enum
Value (default) GREY
elements [GREY, PHASE]

coloring.colorMapPhase GREY (left) and PHASE (right):

PHASE GREY color map PHASE PHASE color map

upscaleImage#

If enabled, the image is interpolated by a factor of 2. This doubles the number of pixels in height and width and can look smoother.

Default

The default is false, because interpolation does not add new information. It can still be useful for presentation.

Property Value
type Option
Flag (default) false

upscaleImage disabled (left) and enabled (right):

Upscale disabled Upscale enabled (factor 2)
