Abstract
The following relates generally to error detection in voting systems, and, in particular voting systems using optical scan machines. In some embodiments, one or more processors are configured to: (1) capture, with an optical scan machine, original image data; (2) isolate a first subimage of the original image data; (3) associate the first subimage with a first configuration file candidate, wherein the first configuration file candidate is indicated by a configuration file configuring the optical scan machine, and wherein the association is done according to the configuration file; and (4) display the first subimage along with a representation of the first configuration file candidate.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for error detection, the method comprising:
- capturing, with an optical scan machine, original image data;
- isolating, via one or more processors of the optical scan machine, a first subimage of the original image data;
- associating, via the one or more processors, the first subimage with a first configuration file candidate, wherein the first configuration file candidate is indicated by a configuration file configuring the optical scan machine, and wherein the associating is done according to the configuration file;
- and
- displaying, via the one or more processors, the first subimage along with a representation of the first configuration file candidate.
A system for error detection, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories;
- the one or more memories having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
- capture, with an optical scan machine, original image data;
- isolate a first subimage of the original image data;
- associate the first subimage with a first configuration file candidate, wherein the first configuration file candidate is indicated by a configuration file configuring the optical scan machine, and wherein the association is done according to the configuration file;
- and
- print the first subimage along with a representation of the first configuration file candidate.
A computer system for error detection, the computer system comprising one or more processors configured to:
- capture, with an optical scan machine, original image data;
- isolate a first subimage of the original image data;
- associate the first subimage with a first configuration file candidate, wherein the first configuration file candidate is indicated by a configuration file configuring the optical scan machine, and wherein the association is done according to the configuration file;
- and
- display the first subimage along with a representation of the first configuration file candidate.
