SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GRAPHICAL IMAGE DATA ACQUISITION, STORAGE, AND RETRIEVAL

摘要

A computerized system and a method for acquisition, storage, and retrieval of a plurality of image datas corresponding to a plurality of physical inspection areas of a physical surface is disclosed. A graphical interface graphically draws a virtual diagram of the physical surface and a plurality of virtual inspection areas on the virtual diagram. A sensor connected to the interface senses a plurality of image datas of the plurality of physical inspection areas. A display connected to the interface is also provided for selectively displaying the virtual diagram and the image data. An image storage connected to the interface collects the plurality of image datas and names an image file of each image data according to a graphical position of the corresponding virtual inspection area on the virtual diagram. A selector connected to the interface is then used for selecting a virtual inspection area corresponding to a desired physical inspection area of interest and for retrieving an image file of the desired physical inspection area from the image storage for display. In a preferred embodiment, a status of the virtual inspection areas are displayed, conveniently, by color coding. A desired inspection program is also indicated on the display.
