This repository has all the Gerber files and respective images used in the scope of the work Gerber File Parsing for Conversion to Bitmap Image - The VINCI7D Case Study. The rendered images were obtained using the following softwares / libraries:

• V7DParser: a parser of Gerber files to bitmap images developed by CRIIS - Centre for Robotics in Industry and Intelligent Systems from INESC TEC - Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science in the context of VINCI7D (link 1, link 2) project
• GerbView
• GerbLib
• Reference Gerber Viewer (ground-truth data)

• Aperture Blocks (gbr, render): aperture-blocks_<V7DParser|GerbView|GerbLib>_<resolution>mm_px
• Front layer of a PCB (gbr, render): pcb-front_<V7DParser|GerbView|GerbLib>_<resolution>mm_px
• Back layer of a PCB (gbr, render): pcb-back_<V7DParser|GerbView|GerbLib>_<resolution>mm_px

• Dynamic size (gbr, render: dynamic-<01-40>_<GerbLib|V7DParser>_<resolution>)
• Static size (gbr, render: static-<01-40>_<GerbLib|V7DParser>_<resolution>)

• Standard Apertures (C/O/P/R) (gbr, render): standard-apertures_<c|o|p|r>
• Aperture Block (AB) (gbr, render)
• Aperture Macro (AM) (gbr, render): aperture-macro_<1-circle|4-outline|5-polygon|6-moire|7-thermal|20-vector-line|21-center-line>
• Region Statement (G36/G37) (gbr, render)
• Step & Repeat (SR) (gbr, render)
