= 1. Overview =

AIS is a video photo recognition sensor, the sensor can be used in electricity meters, gas meters, water meters, pressure gauges and other types of meters. Accurately identify the number of the current dial or upload the picture of the current dial for comparison, which can replace people to go to the door to read the meter, and is more accurate and energy-saving than the meter. The first thing to do is to fix the AIS sensor, the end direction needs to be aligned with the object that needs to be identified, you can check whether the object all appears in the lens range through the upper computer, and then calibrate, Chapter 2 will explain the calibration method of different tables.

This water meter has only five fields, and the coordinates of the digital roulette wheel are shown in the figure.

81

82

If your device's digital scroll wheel dial does not match these five fields, you can try the other field dial coordinate dot plots in 2.4.

The computer's drawing tool should be utilized to open the most recent bmp image and extract the coordinates of the digital wheel dial, as depicted in the accompanying illustration. Additionally, each coordinate point of the current dial should be obtained following the format specified for the digital wheel dial.

Click the "ROI setting" button in "HIMAX_AMR_PC_Tool" and three options will pop up

91

The "Long dial" option is the long hand dial.

92

The "Short dial" option is the short pointer and digital wheel dial.

93

The "Digit wheel" option is the digital wheel dial.

94

Now we are calibrating the digital wheel face of the water meter. Here we select "digit wheel".

1：Fill in the coordinates you just got; it's best to get a coordinate and fill in a coordinate.

99

100

2: fill in the number of number wheel on their dial;

101

102

3: Select the number of short Pointers (currently we don't use short Pointers, the "digit wheelu" option defaults to 0);

103

104

4: Preview whether the setting of their coordinates is accurate;

105

106

5: Click to write all configuration to AIS;

107

108

6: Click the exit configuration interface, at this time, there will be a readout. If the Reading of "reading" is consistent with the watch face, the calibration is successful. The AIS cannot move thereafter to avoid misreading.
