7.2.4 Blob Find Tool
The Blob Find tool is a Location tool used to position other vision tools in reference to some object, or "Blob." In
imaging, a group of adjacent, like-shaded pixels, is called a Blob, short for Binary Large OBject . Unlike the Locate
or Geometric Find tools, the Blob Find tool does not depend on strong and repeatable edges. Rather, Blob Find locates
a Blob in the FOV quickly and is most useful in cases where an object does not need to be matched precisely, but does
need to be identified speedily.
Note: The Blob Find tool starts out disabled, and you need to enable it in the Tools Configuration tab of the System dialog.
