<p>An automated optical inspection (AOI) system includes component learning integrated with the inspection of a circuit board. The AOI system includes a component learning area that can be viewed by an imaging system used to inspect the circuit board in an inspection area. The component learning area can correspond to a region proximate the inspection area. The automated optical inspection system receives board inspection and component learn requests and determines opportune times to learn new component characteristics during the board inspection process so as to minimize the impact of the learning process on the overall inspection efficiency.</p> |
