System, method and graphical user interface for displaying and controlling vision system operating parameters

A graphical user interface (GUI) display for displaying and controlling vision system operating parameters of a contour presence sensor, the GUI comprising:

• a contour region graphic image applied to a discrete region of a selected image of an object in response to a single click by a user at the discrete region of the selected image, the selected image selected by the user from a window on the GUI display containing a plurality of captured images of the object;
• a search region that specifies a region of the selected image that the contour presence sensor examines for contour candidates;
• at least one automated operating parameter that is generated automatically in response to the single click by the user at the discrete region of the selected image to determine whether a contour of interest is in the contour region graphic image;
• and
• a contour graphic image that outlines the contour of interest to demonstrate whether the contour of interest is present in the contour region graphic image.

A graphical user interface (GUI) display for displaying and controlling vision system operating parameters of a contour position sensor, the GUI comprising:

• a contour region graphic image applied to a discrete region of a selected image in response to a single click by a user at the discrete region of the selected image, the selected image selected by the user from a window on the GUI display containing a plurality of captured images of the object;
• a pass-fail region for the contour position sensor that is centered at the boundaries of the contour to determine if a contour of interest is at a correct position within the contour region graphic image;
• at least one automated operating parameter that is generated automatically in response to the single click by the user at the discrete region of the selected image to determine whether the contour of interest is in the contour region graphic image;
• and
• a contour graphic image that outlines the contour of interest to demonstrate whether the contour of interest is at the correct position within the contour region graphic image.
