AsymmetricDots	Symmetric grid of dots. Four dots are bigger than the others and define the pattern's origin and orientation.

◆ CorrelationMethod

enum CorrelationMethod

Correlation calculation methods.

Enumerator

SumOfSquareDistances

Normalized sum of square Distances.

Strictly speaking, this is not a correlation, but the inverse of it (i.e. when looking at the resulting accumulator, dark spots indicate a close match between the image and the template, whereas bright areas indicate image regions, where there is little to no similarity between image and template).

CorrelationCoefficients

Calculate the normalized correlation coefficients between image and template.

These can be considered a measure of similarity between the input image and the template. Wherever the correlation coefficient is high (maximum is 1.0), image and template are very similar. Where the correlation coefficient approaches zero, the similarities vanish.

CrossCorrelation

Calculate the cross correlations between image and template.

◆ FixedFilterSize

enum FixedFilterSize

◆ RgbConversion

enum RgbConversion

Available conversion modes from Bayer patterns to RGB images.

Enumerator
Linear	This method offers the highest accuracy but also the slowest speed. Interpolation of the nearest pixels is used to calculate the two unknown color values for each position. Depending on the position of the pixel either two or four pixels are used for the interpolation. In this mode full spatial resolution is maintained.
NearestNeighbor	This method offers the fastest speed for a full resolution image, but the color accuracy is not as high as the Linear method. The color from a neighbor pixel is used for the two unknown color values. This makes the conversion faster because there is no need for interpolation. In this method full spatial resolution is maintained.
HalfResolution	This method is provided primarily for display. This method creates an RGB image with half the height and half the width of the source image, the color accuracy is the same as the NearestNeighbor method but half the spacial accuracy is lost. If the user needs a fast display for focusing or setup of the camera, then this method will allow higher frame rates on a suitable PC.
