Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for commissioning machine vision systems. The methods and systems described herein may automatically configure, or otherwise assist users in configuring, a machine vision system based on a specification package.

Abstract: A method for three-dimensional (3D) field calibration of a machine vision system includes receiving a set of calibration parameters and an identification of one or more machine vision system imaging devices, determining a camera acquisition parameter for calibration based on the set of calibration parameters, validating the set of calibration parameters and the camera acquisition parameter, and controlling the imaging device(s) to collect image data of a calibration target. The image data may be collected using the determined camera acquisition parameter. The method further includes generating a set of calibration data for the imaging device(s) using the collected image data for the imaging device(s). The set of calibration data can include a maximum error.

Abstract: A method for dynamic testing of a machine vision system includes receiving a set of testing parameters and a selection of a tunnel system. The machine vision system can include the tunnel system and the tunnel system can include a conveyor and at least one imaging device. The method can further include validating the testing parameters and controlling the at least one imaging device to acquire a set of image data of a testing target positioned at a predetermined justification on the conveyor. The testing target can include a plurality of target symbols. The method can further include determining a test result by analyzing the set of image data to determine if the at least one imaging device reads a target symbol associated with the at least one imaging device and generating a report including the test result.

Abstract: Publishers inject messages containing geospatial data into a content routed network. The subscribers pre-register geospatial data defining an arbitrary geographic region of interest with their subscriptions. The messages are delivered to interested subscribers based on a comparison of the content data and the geospatial data contained in the messages with the corresponding data associated with said pre-registered subscriptions.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for converting documents from one format to another in a speed efficient way involves a hardware module which implements several operating pipeline stages which work in parallel. The transformations are supplied and decomposed into sequences of control units. The transformation of documents consists of applying control unit sequences to input documents. The control units are themselves executed by a set of dedicated hardware resources. Furthermore the pipeline is capable of operating on more than one document at a time. Fast document transformation is a key capability of document processing systems. The use of parallel processing techniques and hardware that implements highly specialized transformation resources make this invention particularly scalable for its use in large, high speed content networks.
