Abstract
A position detection tool in a machine vision system finds the position of target objects in a digital image using the length and width of the target object as parameters. The input length and width dimensions are measured by the developer as the length and width of a simple hypothetical rectangle that surrounds the object. For most shapes, the developer can easily obtain these two measurements. The position detection tool can easily be adapted to discern particular image patterns from multiple component images.
