One variation of a method for automatically generating a common measurement across multiple assembly units includes: displaying a first image—recorded at an optical inspection station—within a user interface; receiving manual selection of a particular feature in a first assembly unit represented in the first image; receiving selection of a measurement type for the particular feature; extracting a first real dimension of the particular feature in the first assembly unit from the first image according to the measurement type; for each image in a set of images, identifying a feature—analogous to the particular feature—in an assembly unit represented in the image and extracting a real dimension of the feature in the assembly unit from the image according to the measurement type; and aggregating the first real dimension and a set of real dimensions extracted from the set of images into a digital container.

Methods for automatically generating a common measurement across multiple assembly units

A method includes: displaying a first image of a first assembly unit within a user interface; locating a first virtual origin at a first feature on the first assembly unit; displaying a first subregion of the first image within the user interface responsive to a change in a view window of the first image; recording a geometry and a position of the first subregion relative to the first virtual origin; locating a second virtual origin at a second feature&#x2014;analogous to the first feature&#x2014;on a second assembly unit represented in the second image; projecting the geometry and the position of the first subregion onto the second image according to the second virtual origin to define a second subregion of the second image; and, in response to receipt of a command to advance from the first image to the second image, displaying the second subregion within the user interface.
