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 displaying, within the interactive GUI, a user-selectable option to add the corresponding tool to a machine vision job.

Abstract: Techniques for optimizing one or more imaging settings for a machine vision job are provided. An example method includes configuring a machine vision job by setting a plurality of banks of imaging parameters, with each of the plurality of banks of imaging parameters being different from each other; transmitting the machine vision job to an imaging device; and executing the machine vision job on the imaging device to: (a) capture an image with the imaging device operating pursuant to one of the plurality of banks of imaging parameters; (b) attempt to decode a barcode within the image; (c) responsive to successfully decoding the barcode within the image, successfully ending the barcode reader tool; and (d) responsive to unsuccessfully decoding the barcode within the image, repeating (a)-(d) with another one of the one of the plurality of banks of imaging parameters.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enhancing image content captured by a machine vision camera are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving an image captured by a machine vision camera that includes a plurality of indicia, determining bounds of a bounding box for each respective indicia, and displaying a plurality of entries corresponding to the respective indicia. The example method further includes receiving a selection of an entry, and determining coordinate limits of the bounding box and a secondary box of the entry. The example method further includes displaying the image such that a center-point of the secondary box is positioned near a center-point of a display region, and scaling the image such that at least one of a vertical pixel count or a horizontal pixel count of the secondary box is within a ratio threshold of a vertical pixel count or a horizontal pixel count of the display region.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enhancing image content captured by a machine vision camera are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving an image captured by a machine vision camera that includes a plurality of visual features, determining bounds of a bounding region for each respective visual feature, and displaying a plurality of entries corresponding to the respective visual feature. The example method further includes receiving a selection of an entry, and determining coordinate limits of the bounding region and a secondary region of the entry. The example method further includes displaying the image such that a center-point of the secondary box is positioned near a center-point of a display region, and scaling the image such that at least one of a vertical pixel count or a horizontal pixel count of the secondary region is within a ratio threshold of a vertical pixel count or a horizontal pixel count of the display region.
