  • Publication number: 20140111654
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a testing procedure using an electronic device includes constructing a coordinate system, presetting test parameters, and predetermining a position on a test platform corresponding to each preset test parameter based on the coordinate system. Positions of a test object on the test platform are changed during the testing procedure. Images of the test object are acquired from an image capturing device according to the test parameters. The method monitors the testing procedure by recognizing positions of the test object in the acquired images and determines whether the recognized positions match predetermined positions. When a recognized position does not match the predetermined position, the test object is determined to be positioned on the test platform improperly, and an alert message is outputted.
