Abstract
A method, system and computer program product are provided for identifying wire contact insertion holes of a connector to facilitate the automated insertion of the wire ends of a wire bundle assembly into the wire contact insertion holes of a connector. In the context of a method, each of a plurality of pixels of an image of the connector is analyzed to identify one or more candidate contact insertion holes for the connector. The method also determines whether the one or more candidate contact insertion holes are to be consolidated and, if so, consolidates the one or more candidate contact insertion holes. The method further includes assigning contact identification numbers of the connector to the one or more candidate contact insertion holes.
