4.10 Geometry Calculation of Detected Data 4.10.1 What is Geometry Calculation? Geometry Calculation is a function that calculates the distance between two points, intersection point of two lines and median using the data detected with each checker. With this function, only specifying the result detected by a checker enables to execute calculation without setting any operation expression.

In Feature Extraction, it has been set to sort the objects in descending order of area and detect the circle of the largest area zerothly.
Page 216 For Intersecting Point "Intersecting Point" is used to calculate the intersecting point using the lines detected by Smart Edge (Line) and Geometry Calculation. When using the lines detected by Geometry Calculation, only smaller numbers than the number of the currently setting Geometry Calculation can be specified.
Page 217 For Approximate Circle Selecting "All Points" enables to set multiple points detected by one checker in block. In this section, enter all the coordinate positions of the object detected by Smart Edge (Line) in the point 0.
