发明名称 APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR READING GAUGES AND OTHER VISUAL INDICATORS IN A PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEM OR OTHER DATA COLLECTION SYSTEM
摘要 A portable apparatus includes a camera configured to capture images of multiple visual indicators. Each visual indicator, such as a gauge or meter, includes a display configured to present a reading. The portable apparatus also includes a recording device configured to store and/or transmit information associated with the captured images of the visual indicators. The camera and/or the recording device could be configured to identify, using the images, the readings presented on the displays of the visual indicators, and the information associated with the captured images could include the readings. Also, the camera could be configured to be mounted on each visual indicator in order to capture one or more images of the visual indicator's display and to be removed from the visual indicator after the one or more images are captured.
