PATTERN SORTING TOOL
The Pattern Sorting Tool (PST) is a revolutionary and unrivalled new
pattern matching tool for sorting applications now available in the
IMPACT Software Suite.
This state-of-the-art patented algorithm is able to find thousands of
different patterns in an extremely effective way.
The Pattern Sorting Tool guarantees maximum performances and
consistency in any situation, even with objects poor of texture in
cluttered fields of view.
This tool is a tremendous breakthrough in the machine vision
industry as no algorithm is able to offer a reliable and robust
recognition over such wide pattern databases today.
Thanks to Its capability to manage big databases of
patterns, the PST is able to distinguish among thousands
of different items manufactured or simply conveyed on
the same line. The algorithm delivers robust recognition
in any situation (e.g. 360°pattern rotations, perspective
distortions, different scales and light variations).
TOOLS
The PST is not just a tool for item sorting. The
algorithm can be used for many different purposes
and applications. For instance it can detect the
presence of stickers or logos as well as identify items
by means of the artworks printed on the package.
