The GEO Correlation tool allows the user to create search a set of lines / geometries
and "train" the tool to find specific sets or patterns of geometries
within an image.
Using the GEO Correlation Tool
To use this tool drag and drop the tool from its location into the sequence.
Right-click the tool and select "edit". This will open the tools inputs page.
Inputs
CIFViewer:
The viewer is already a default within this option. If the user wishes
to input a different viewer they may drag 'n' drop it from the ROTMain
into the CIFViewer box.
Calibration Collection: The user must drop the Geometry Collection
tool from the ROTMain into this box (the user must input geometries
into the geometry collection tool prior to using this tool. Please see
the Geometry Collections help file for information on how to do this).
This gives the tool the set of geometries from which it will search to
find the similar geometries. Use the drop down arrow located in the
right side of the inputs page to select the geometry set from within
the run the search.
Reference:
This can be any type of geometry. A geometry can be a circle, curve,
line, points, etc. The geometry inputted here will be the base line
geometry. The geometry inputted here are the search guidelines the tool
is trained to and will run its searches from.
Parameters
Found Collection:
This is a set of parameters that is given back to the user once the
tool is run. This is the collection of geometries that are exactly like
and within the tolerances to the reference geometries.
Found Full Collection:
This is a set of parameters that is given back to the user once the
tool is run. This is a collection of geometries that are similar to the
reference geometries but are missing some of the pieces. For example if
the reference geometry included 5 points the tool might return a
geometry that has 4 points if those points fit within the reference
geometry.
Distance Tolerance: The
distance tolerance is an area distance (within the same units as the
reference) that the user will allow the found geometries to vary from
the reference geometries.
Dimension Tolerance:
This is a dimension tolerance (within the same units as the
reference) that the user will allow the found geometries to vary
from the reference geometries.
Render Style:
selecting the "..." button allows the user to change visually how the
found images from the "Found Collection" will appear within the viewer.
Render Style Full:
selecting the "..." button allows the user to change visually how the
found images from the "Found Full Collection" will appear within the
viewer.
Refresh Viewer: This
option gives the user various ways in which to display the new data
within the viewer and also gives the user the option to not display the
data within the viewer.
