Configuring Arc Edge Locator Properties

NOTE: If the display in the Edge Settings window is blank, or the edges are not properly
placed, close the window and verify that the correct Projection Mode is enabled in the
Advanced Parameters section. Choose between Annular and Radial. Also verify that the
tool was executed after positioning the tool. Execute the tool at least once before opening
the Edge Settings window.

Edge Detection

Edge Detection settings configure the parameters that the Arc Edge Locator will use to find
potential edges in the region of interest. The display represents the Arc Edge Locator region
of interest and provides information to assist in configuring Edge Detection parameters.

Magnitude Threshold

Sets the acceptable magnitude value for potential edges. This value is expressed as an abso-
lute value. There are two magnitude lines: an upper (positive) threshold and lower (negative)
threshold.

Possible values are from 0 - 255.

Edge Magnitude expresses the strength of a potential edge. The (green) magnitude curve,
represents magnitude values across the region of interest. Potential edges must have a mag-
nitude greater than the upper threshold, or lower than the lower threshold. See the following
figure.

Edge Constraint Editor

This tool uses a form for defining the constraints.

To set constraints, from the object editor:
