Claims17
A method for handling of an operable tool adapted for removal of a terminal pin or post comprised with an automotive electrical connector, comprising the steps of:
- acquiring, using a camera comprised with a first electronic device, an image or a video of the electrical connector;
- applying a computer implemented machine vision identification process adapted to determine a type of the electrical connector based on the acquired image or video of the electrical connector, wherein the type of electrical connector is selected from a plurality of predetermined types of electrical connectors;
- displaying, using a display screen comprised with the first electronic device, information relating to a result of the machine vision identification process regarding the identified type of electrical connector;
- forming a displayable graphical instruction based on the identified type of electrical connector, wherein the graphical instruction comprises information to a user on what type of the operable tool to select and how to use the selected removal tool for successful removal of the terminal pins or posts comprised with automotive the electrical connector;
- and
- displaying, using the display screen comprised with the first electronic device, the graphical instruction for the user for handling the operable tool to remove the pin or post comprised with the electrical connector.
A computer vision system adapted to assist in handling of an operable tool adapted for removal of a terminal pin or post comprised with an automotive electrical connector, wherein the computer vision system comprises a first electronic device, the first electronic device comprising a control unit, a camera and a display screen arranged in communication with each other, wherein the computer vision system is adapted to:
- acquire, using a camera comprised with a first electronic device, an image or a video of the electrical connector;
- apply a computer implemented machine vision identification process adapted to determine a type of the electrical connector based on the acquired image or video of the electrical connector, wherein the type of electrical connector is selected from a plurality of predetermined types of electrical connectors;
- display, using a display screen comprised with the first electronic device, information relating to a result of the machine vision identification process regarding the identified type of c electrical connector;
- form a displayable graphical instruction based on the identified type of electrical connector, wherein the graphical instruction comprises information to a user on what type of the operable tool to select and how to use the selected removal tool for successful removal of the terminal pins or posts comprised with automotive the electrical connector;
- and
- display, using the display screen comprised with the first electronic device, the graphical instruction for a user for handling the operable tool to remove the pin or post comprised with the electrical connector.
