Title: Systems and methods for creating machine vision jobs including barcode scanning
Inventor: DAVID D LANDRON
IPC: G06V10/94
Filed: 2021-07-22
Abstract: A method for creating one or more machine vision jobs that include barcode scanning. One or more processors detect a first configuration of a barcode scanning tool, including its settings. When a first imaging device is operated in a fixed scanning mode using the configuration 308, the device scans a barcode. The first configuration is modified to a second configuration which causes a second imaging device to operate in a machine vision mode in accordance with the second configuration. A graphical user interface 300 displays a user-selectable option to add the barcode scanning tool configured to the second configuration to a machine vision job 314. The two imaging devices may be the same camera. The user may select options to add the barcode scanning tool to a machine vision job, which are displayed by the GUI. The user may also select other machine vision tools such as binarization, pattern matching, or edge detection tools. A computer system for carrying out the method is also claimed. The objective is to simplify the configuration of barcode scanner settings for carrying out machine vision jobs.
