Abstract

A user interface is provided for programming machine vision applications that includes an image window for displaying an image to be analyzed (41), and a spreadsheet (46) for analyzing the image displayed with the image window. A hand-held control pad (44) is used to navigate over the spreadsheet (46), thereby selecting cells of the spreadsheet. The control pad is additionally used for menu item selection, and for spreadsheet input. The spreadsheet is semi-transparent, and is adapted to perform conditional cell execution, as well as operate on time interval data. When the control pad indicates a specific cell of the spreadsheet, a change occurs in the image to be displayed (47). Buffered outputs are utilized for circular references or recursive operations. Complex vision objects are also instantiated as a single cell in the spreadsheet.
