Systems and methods for facilitating selection of tools for machine vision jobs

A computer system for facilitating selection of tools for one or more machine vision jobs, the computer system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory program memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computer system to:
• display, 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;
• display, within the interactive GUI, an image;
• detect a selection of a portion of the image;
• analyze the portion of the image to determine a corresponding tool for processing the portion of the image;
• and
• display, within the interactive GUI, a user-selectable option to add the corresponding tool to a machine vision job.

A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions for facilitating selection of tools for one or more jobs that, when executed by at least one processor of a computer system, cause the computer system to:

• display, 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;
• display, within the interactive GUI, an image;
• detect a selection of a portion of the image;
• analyze the portion of the image to determine a corresponding tool for processing the portion of the image;
• and
• display, within the interactive GUI, a user-selectable option to add the corresponding tool to a machine vision job.
