Question
How do I migrate an Edge Learning Tool from the In-Sight D900 to the In-Sight 3800, for example, from AutoLearn tool to ViDi EL Classify tool, without having to retrain the tool?
Answer
While in the spreadsheet under In-Sight D900, click on a cell and press Ctl+F12. This will allow you to create an Archive file (.aaa). Save the file.
Create a new spreadsheet job under the In-Sight 3800 and press Ctl+Shift+F12. This will allow you to open the archive file.
Once you have imported the new spreadsheet, you will find the AutoLearn tool has been converted to a ViDi EL Classify tool automatically and the images are still here. The tool still works as well.
Note: You should obtain the same results for every tool (blob, edge, pattern, AutoLearn, etc.) when moving from the In-Sight D900 to In-Sight 3800 Spreadsheet. Moreover, when comparing the same job, the processing time of the tools should be similar.
