Imagechecker PV310 – The high-speed successor of the A series
PV310
Micro-Imagechecker
Provided with a special digital signal
processor, which makes the system 10
times faster.
The powerful contour matching checker
and the flaw detection checker
complement the existing checkers.
360-degree rotation inspection provides
a big variety of inspection solutions.
The improved user interface and the
use of a VGA monitor makes it user-
friendly to configure the system.

• Calculates the average gray-scale value within the
checker area.
• Gray-scale Window checkers are often used to detect
brightness variations.
Panasonic Electric Works Europe AG

Imagechecker PV series – 11 image-processing tools (checkers)
Binary Edge Detection
• Binary edge-detection checkers calculate the x and y
coordinates of edges in an image.
• The detected coordinates can be used for measuring objects.
• Binary edge-detection checkers are faster than the gray-scale
edge-detection checkers, but they have a lower accuracy of
measurement because of the binary calculation.

Gray-scale Edge Detection
• Gray-scale edge-detection checkers
calculate the x and y coordinates of
edges within in an image.
• Accuracy of measurement: 3 subpixels
Example of an application:

Imagechecker PV series – 11 image-processing tools (checkers)
Feature Extraction
• This checker calculates the number of detected objects
within the checker area. For each detected object, the
checker also calculates its area size, its center of gravity,
its angle of the main inertia axis.
Panasonic Electric Works Europe AG
Panasonic Vision Systems
Imagechecker PV series – 11 image-processing tools (checkers)
Smart Matching
• First, the system has been trained with an OK sample as the
pattern. Then the smart matching checker searches for a similar
pattern within the checker area.
• This clever checker is able to distinguish between accepted and
not accepted variations of the trained pattern and the detected
pattern.
• Valid rotation of the pattern:
± 180°

contours within the checker area.
• Valid rotation of the contour:

• High-speed visual inspection for slightest scratches, chipping,
foreign substances, etc.
• High-speed inspection of small burrs, chips, etc., even for
molded products with an uneven surface.

Position/Rotation Adjustment
• The position adjustment is used for moving the checker
shape to the current position of the inspected object.
• With the help of smart matching or contour matching it
is possible to detect rotations of 360°of the objec t.
