Abstract
Systems and associated methods implement or perform receiving, in real-time, an image acquired by an imaging device, determining a symbol size for a symbol in a field-of-view of the imaging device, determining a symbol type for the symbol, comparing the symbol size to a predetermined size range, the predetermined size range being based on the determined symbol type, and providing a feedback based on the comparing, wherein the feedback indicates a relationship between an actual distance between the imaging device and the symbol and a target distance range between the imaging device and the symbol.
Claims20
A vision system for imaging an object comprising:
- an imaging device configured to acquire an image;
- a memory in communication with the imaging device;
- and
- at least one processor operatively connected to the memory and configured to:
- receive, in real-time, the image acquired by the imaging device,
- determine a symbol size for a symbol in a field-of-view of the imaging device,
- determine a symbol type for the symbol,
- compare the symbol size to a predetermined size range, the predetermined size range being based on the determined symbol type, and
- provide a real-time feedback based on the comparing, wherein the real-time feedback indicates a relationship between an actual distance between the imaging device and the symbol and a target distance between the imaging device and the symbol.
A method of imaging an object, comprising:
- receiving an image in real-time from an imaging device;
- detecting a symbol in the image;
- determining a symbol size and a symbol type for the symbol;
- and based on a comparison between the determined symbol size and a predetermined size range that is based on the determined symbol type, providing a real-time feedback based on the comparing, wherein the real-time feedback indicates a relationship between an actual distance between the imaging device and the symbol and a target distance between the imaging device and the symbol.
