International ClassesG06F 3/12G06K 15/00 AbstractA video-based control and diagnostics system for use in an imaging machines, is presented. The system may be used in a number of ways with video imaging, including diagnostic testing, monitoring paper type, motors and solenoids, providing machine access by controlling access to an imaging station such as a printer or copier through video badging or fingerprint reading. The system may further control a printer or a copier using video, optical character recognition (OCR), shape recognition, motion detection and automatic machine learning. The system may have one image processing module with ability to select from three to ten or more video sources. | |
