Artificial Vision 1 Introduction to Vision Builder

About Vision Builder

The Vision Builder program is designed to be an adjunct tool used as part of a comprehensive optometric vision therapy program. Your optometrist will give you guidance as to which parts of the program are best suited to your specific needs and as such should be the one to tell you what levels and settings would be best for you and the continued development of your visual abilities.

You may use Vision Builder as a stand-alone tool to improve your visual abilities, but the use of any computer program will never replace the need for a comprehensive vision therapy program.

The program has been tested on the operating systems Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8

Vision Builder AI has two modes of operation: Configuration and

Inspection. Use the Configuration interface to configure and test your

inspection. Use the Inspection interface to deploy the software and perform

online or offline visual inspection.

Elements of the Configuration Interface

Here shows the Vision Builder AI Configuration interface. The

Configuration interface contains four areas: Main window, Overview

window, Inspection Steps palette, and State Configuration window.

Main window 

Displays the image in which you are working, which may be the state diagram or the property page where inspection arrangements are made, regions of interest are defined in the image and the parameters of the steps are configured to perform .

Overview window— Displays a thumbnail of any current

image inspection or the state diagram for inspection.

Inspection Steps palette

Lists and describes the steps that you use

to create your inspection. When you click on most steps, the palette

transforms into the property page for the step.

State Configuration window

Displays the list of steps in the

currently selected state in the inspection.

Inspection State Diagram

The program uses a state diagram to define the inspections setting states and transitions leading program execution.

You can do simple inspection of a single state.

More complex inspections can be created by adding additional states and transitions to the default state diagram.

Within a state diagram, each state can lead to one or multiple states or can end the inspection cycle.

Each state diagram relies on in-state calculations or user input to determine the next state to execute. 

The program executes the state diagram continuously from the start point to the end point.

Each state in an inspection is intended to contain a discrete set of inspection steps.

To access the steps contained in a state, select the state on the state diagram. The steps present in the state will appear in the State Configuration window.

Vision Builder AI Inspection Interface

Results Panel 

Lists the steps in the inspection by name. For each

inspection step, Vision Builder displays the step type, result (PASS or

FAIL), measurement made, and a comment explaining the reason of a

FAIL. Inspection Status shows the result of the complete inspection.

Display window 

Displays the part under inspection.

Inspection Statistics panel 

Contains three indicators that display

the yield (ratio between PASS and FAIL), active versus idle time, and

processing time of the inspection.
