Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide automatic detection of same-type objects on an inspection line and automatically capture and/or display an image of the object once it is detected. Additionally, embodiments of the invention automatically provide the outline of an object to a user, enabling the user to either confirm or easily correct the outline. The confirmed or corrected outline is then automatically applied to all images of inspected items of the same-type, allowing optimization of inspection tasks such as defect detection, for all inspected items, based on a short, possibly a one-time, input, from the user.
