System and method for displaying and displaying the color accuracy of pattern matching by a vision system

摘要

The present invention provides a system and method for displaying color balance information on a captured image of an object. A model is provided with a plurality of color test points at color stable locations. A display process generates visible, geometric shapes with respect to the color test points in a predetermined color. In an alignment process, features of the object are aligned with features on the model so that the geometric shapes appear at locations on the object that correspond to locations on the model. The geometric shapes may include closed shapes surrounding an expected color-stable region on the object. Such shapes may define circles, squares, diamonds, or any other useable closed or open shape that are visible to the user on the display.
