<p>A semiautomatic method for digital feature separation uses a trained sample selected by an operator using a software "eye dropper" tool or a similar region-of-interest tool to sample features of interest on a stored digital image of, for example, an electronic component such as pads, bumps or leads of the component. Pixels from the sampled features are analyzed and plotted based on their color hue and saturation values or gray scale intensity values. This process leaves only the features of interest in their original locations saved in the graphics memory surrounded by pixels that have been made video transparent. The resulting saved image which contains only the selected features is then laid over a live image such as that of a target substrate with corresponding features of interest. The operator then manually aligns the saved features from the component image over the corresponding features of the live image of the substrate to achieve component to substrate registration.</p> |
