ABSTRACT:
A method and device for displaying information from multiple sources, in a way that permits rapid assimilation and interpretation of the information. The information may originate from the inspection, e.g., via a remote visual inspection system, of a work piece. The method and device processes (i) frames of video data, each frame including data corresponding to an array of pixels, including video of a sensor, and (ii) data output by the sensor by (a) locating the sensor in one of the frames of video data to define an anchor location, (b) accepting the data output by the sensor, (c) converting the data output by the sensor to either a numeric value or a graphical representation, and (d) in the one of the frames, modifying pixels data in a vicinity of the anchor location based on the numeric value or graphical representation to form a modified frame.
