Abstract:
A machine-vision system for monitoring a quality metric for a product. The system includes a controller configured to receive a digital image from an image acquisition device. The controller is also configured to analyze the digital image using a first machine-vision algorithm to compute a measurement of the product. The system also includes a vision server connected to the controller, and configured to compute a quality metric and store the digital image and the measurement in a database storage. The system also includes a remote terminal connected to the vision server, and configured to display the digital image and the quality metric on the remote terminal.

Claim (Index 8):
A computer-implemented method for monitoring the output of a plurality of inspection locations, the method comprising:\n transmitting a plurality of digital images from a plurality of image acquisition devices to a controller over a first data network, wherein the controller and the plurality of image acquisition devices are located at a production facility, and\n wherein each image acquisition device is configured to capture a digital image of a respective inspection location of the plurality of inspection locations to create the plurality of digital images; \n computing a plurality of measurements by analyzing each digital image of the plurality of digital images using a machine-vision algorithm to compute at least one measurement for each digital image of the plurality of digital images; transmitting the plurality of digital images and the plurality of measurements from the controller to a vision server over a second data network, wherein the vision server is located external to the production facility; storing the plurality of digital images and the plurality of measurements in a database storage on the vision server; transmitting a first digital image of the plurality of digital images and a first measurement of the plurality of measurements from the vision server to a remote terminal; and displaying the first digital image and the first measurement on the remote terminal.
