Abstract

A machine vision system for identifying optical fibers is provided that includes a support plate supporting one or more optical fibers. The one or more optical fibers each include a jacket. A light source is configured to emit light onto the one or more optical fibers. An imager is positioned above the light source. The imager is configured to receive reflected light from the light emitted onto the one or more optical fibers. A display system is configured to receive a signal from the imager and display an augmented image.
