Configuration tool and method for a quality control system

A configuration method for configuring a quality control system to monitor and/or guide an operator in a working environment through recognition of events, said configuration method comprising:

• A—capturing volumetric image frames of said working environment while an object, event or operational process is demonstrated through a volumetric sensor;
• B—live displaying said volumetric image frames;
• C1—generating a user interface in overlay of said volumetric image frames to enable a user to define a layout zone;
• and
• C2—automatically generating a virtual box when an object, event or operational process is detected during demonstration of said object, event or operational process;
• and
• C3—assigning a confidence level to said virtual box representative for the repetitiveness of the detection of said object during plural demonstrations of said operational process.

A quality control system for monitoring and/or guiding an operator in a working environment, said quality control system being coupled to a volumetric sensor for observing predetermined virtual boxes for presence or absence of a physical object or an operational action, said quality control system comprising:

• a configuration tool adapted to configure said quality control system, said configuration tool comprising:
• A—said volumetric sensor adapted to capture volumetric image frames of said working environment while an object, event or operational process is demonstrated;
• B—a display, coupled to said volumetric sensor and configured to live display said volumetric image frames;
• C—a processor configured to:
• C1—generate a user interface in overlay of said volumetric image frames to enable a user to define a layout zone;
• and
• C2—automatically generate a virtual box in said layout zone when an object, event or operational process is detected during demonstration of said object, event or operational process;
• and
• C3—assign a confidence level to said virtual box representative for the repetitiveness of the detection of said object during plural demonstrations of said operational process.
