Auto-centering

Also known as auto-centring, automatic centering, semi-automatic centering, object centering. Category: Software

Auto-centering corrects a 360 spin in which the product was not placed exactly at the centre of rotation, which makes it appear to wobble or tilt. The software finds the product in each frame and shifts the images so it stays centred.

How PhotoRobot uses it

PhotoRobot Controls offers fully automatic centring, which detects product edges and calculates the centre in each image, and semi-automatic centring, where the operator centres three images and the algorithm corrects the rest of the spinset. Centring works on the horizontal and vertical axis, and the original files are kept as a backup.

  • Centre of rotation: The axis a turntable spins around; a product placed on it stays in the same spot in every frame.
  • Laser positioning: Lasers projected onto the turntable that show where to place a product so it sits at the centre of rotation.
  • 360 spin: An interactive sequence of images of a rotating product that the viewer can turn with the mouse or a finger.
  • AutoCrop: Automatic cropping based on the detected product position, with set aspect ratio and padding.
