iRVision Image Playback

In this iRVision Tech Short, we will go over the image playback feature and how it can help you analyze and improve vision processes. Image playback allows us to review logged images from previous production runs, troubleshoot issues, and validate changes without disrupting live operations. Whether you are working on a real robot or using a backup in ROBOGUIDE, this feature provides flexibility and insight into your vision system’s performance.

We will start by explaining what image playback is and why it matters for maintaining robust vision processes. From there, we will walk through the steps required to enable image logging, manage log paths, and transfer data to ROBOGUIDE for offline analysis. You will also see how playback can reveal problems such as missed detections, occlusions, or incorrect part positioning, and how adjustments like elasticity settings can improve results.

Requirements before starting:

• Logged images created during production runs
• Image logging enabled in iRVision configuration
• USB memory device (UD1) for storing logs
• ROBOGUIDE setup for virtual playback (optional)

What you will learn in this video:

• How to enable and configure image logging for vision processes
• Steps to transfer log data to ROBOGUIDE for offline analysis
• How to use playback to review historical images and troubleshoot issues
• Techniques for improving detection accuracy using GPM Locator and 3D tools
• Best practices for validating changes without impacting production

By the end of this session, you will understand how image playback can help you diagnose problems, verify adjustments, and ensure your vision system is performing at its best. This is an essential tool for anyone looking to optimize robotic vision processes and maintain consistent quality in production.
