  • Patent number: 12511019
    Abstract: Methods and systems for facilitating selection of tools for one or more machine vision jobs are disclosed herein. An example method may be performed by one or more processors and includes displaying, via a display screen, an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) of an application, the application configured to generate job scripts for imaging devices to execute and the application operating in a job construction mode. The method also includes displaying an image within the GUI and detecting a selection of a portion of the image. The method further includes analyzing the portion of the image to determine a corresponding tool for processing the portion of the image and adding the corresponding tool to a job flow of the machine vision job.

  • Patent number: 11568567
    Abstract: Methods and systems for optimizing performance of a machine vision system are disclosed herein. An example method includes obtaining one or more first and second images of a target object, where each of the one or more first and second images include a pass indication and a fail indication, respectively. The example method further includes conducting, by a feasibility setup tool, a feasibility setup analysis by (i) performing machine vision techniques on each of the one or more first and second images and (ii) generating a respective updated result indication for each of the one or more first and second images. The example method further includes comparing the respective updated result indication to the respective pass indications and fail indications for the one or more first and second images, respectively; and based on the comparing, generating one or more suggestions to optimize the performance of the machine vision system.

  • Patent number: 11210484
    Abstract: Methods for creating a machine vision job including barcode scanning are disclosed. An example method may be performed by one or more processors and includes detecting a first configuration of a barcode scanning tool including settings of the barcode scanning tool, wherein the first configuration, when executed by a first imaging device operating in a fixed scanning mode, causes the first imaging device to execute the barcode scanning tool in accordance with the settings. The method also includes upgrading the first configuration to a second configuration of the barcode scanning tool, wherein the second configuration, when executed by a second imaging device operating in a machine vision mode, causes the second imaging device to execute the barcode scanning tool in accordance with the settings. The method further includes displaying a user-selectable option to add the barcode scanning tool configured in accordance with the second configuration to the machine vision job.
