Abstract
A device may capture, using a camera associated with a microscope, a first image of interstitial material associated with a first set of optical fibers in a field of view of the camera. The device may perform a comparison of the first image of interstitial material and a second image of interstitial material associated with a second set of optical fibers. The device may determine that the first set of optical fibers does not include an expected set of optical fibers based on a result of performing the comparison. The device may determine an amount by which to adjust the field of view of the camera based on the result of performing the comparison. The device may perform one or more actions.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- capturing, using a camera associated with a microscope, a first image of interstitial material associated with a first set of optical fibers in a field of view of the camera;
- performing, by the microscope, a comparison of the first image of interstitial material and a second image of interstitial material associated with a second set of optical fibers after capturing the first image of interstitial material;
- determining, by the microscope, that the first set of optical fibers does not include an expected set of optical fibers based on a result of performing the comparison;
- determining, by the microscope, an amount by which to adjust the field of view of the camera based on the result of performing the comparison;
- and
- performing, by the microscope, one or more actions after determining the amount by which to adjust the field of view of the camera.
A device, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
- capture, using a camera associated with the device, a first image of interstitial material associated with a first set of optical fibers within a field of view of the camera;
- perform a comparison of the first image of interstitial material and a second image of interstitial material associated with a second set of optical fibers to determine whether there is a match between the first image of interstitial material and the second image of interstitial material;
- determine that the first set of optical fibers does not include an expected set of optical fibers based on a result of performing the comparison;
- determine to adjust the field of view of the camera based on determining that the first set of optical fibers does not include the expected set of optical fibers;
- and
- perform one or more actions after determining that the field of view of the camera is to be adjusted.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- capture, using a camera associated with a microscope, a first image of interstitial material associated with a first set of optical fibers within a field of view of the camera;
- perform a comparison of the first image of interstitial material and a second image of interstitial material associated with a second set of optical fibers after capturing the first image;
- determine that there is an overlap in a portion of the first image and a portion of the second image based on a result of performing the comparison,
- wherein the overlap indicates an error in a relative movement of the camera and an optical connector,
- wherein the optical connector is associated with the first set of optical fibers and the second set of optical fibers;
- determine that the first set of optical fibers does not include an expected set of optical fibers after determining that there is the overlap in the portion of the first image and the portion of the second image;
- determine to adjust the field of view of the camera based on determining that the first set of optical fibers does not include the expected set of optical fibers;
- and
- perform one or more actions after determining that the field of view of the camera is to be adjusted.
