Methods for automatically generating a common measurement across multiple assembly units

A method for automatically measuring features across multiple assembly units comprising:

• accessing a dimension library containing a set of feature templates associated with geometric characteristics of predefined features in recorded inspection images of assembly units;
• during a first time period:
• accessing a first inspection image of a first assembly unit;
• predicting a first set of key features in the first inspection image based on the set of feature templates contained in the dimension library;
• extracting a first set of real dimensions of the first set of key features from the first inspection image;
• presenting the first inspection image to a user via a user portal;
• and
• projecting the first set of real dimensions proximal the first set of key features onto the first inspection image at the user portal;
• and
• during a second time period following the first time period:
• accessing a second inspection image of a second assembly unit;
• identifying a first subset of key features, in the first set of key features detected in the first inspection image, in the second inspection image;
• predicting a second set of key features in the second inspection image based on the set of feature templates contained in the dimension library;
• extracting a second set of real dimensions of the first subset of key features and the second set of key features from the second inspection image;
• presenting the second inspection image at the user portal;
• and
• projecting the second set of real dimensions proximal the second set of key features onto the second inspection image at the user portal.

A method for automatically measuring features across multiple assembly units comprising:

• accessing a dimension library containing a set of feature templates associated with geometric characteristics of predefined features in recorded inspection images of assembly units;
• accessing a first inspection image of a first assembly unit;
• prior to presentation of the first inspection image to a user:
• predicting a first set of key features in the first inspection image based on the set of feature templates contained in the dimension library;
• and
• extracting a first set of real dimensions of the first set of key features from the first inspection image;
• presenting the first inspection image to a user via a user portal;
• projecting the first set of real dimensions proximal the first set of key features onto the first inspection image at the user portal;
• and
• predicting a second set of key features, distinct from unselected features in the first set of key features, in the first inspection image based on the set of feature templates contained in the dimension library;
• extracting a second set of real dimensions of the first subset of key features and the second set of key features from the first inspection image;
• and
• projecting the second set of real dimensions proximal the second set of key features onto the first inspection image at the user portal.
