1. A system for optically recognizing, interpreting, and digitizing human readable instruments, annunciators, and controls, comprising:
- an image acquisition sensor operable to capture images of at least one of the instruments, annunciators, and controls;
a logic processing unit operable to decode the images captured by the image acquisition sensor and interpret the decoded images to determine a state of the at least one of the instruments, annunciators, and controls.

8. A method for optically recognizing, interpreting, and digitizing human readable instruments, annunciators, and controls, comprising:
-
reading a configuration file to provide a definition of a target region of an image to be interpreted of at least one of the instruments, annunciators, and controls to be interpreted; opening an output file for storing the image to be interpreted; determining whether a captured image to be interpreted exists; if the captured image exists; decoding the captured image; determining a state of the at least one of the instruments, annunciators, and controls based upon the decoded captured image and the definition in the configuration file; and writing the state of the at least one of the instruments, annunciators, and controls to the output file. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. Software for optically recognizing, interpreting, and digitizing human readable instruments, annunciators, and controls, the software being embodied in computer-readable media and when executed operable to:
-
read a configuration file to provide a definition of a target region of an image to be interpreted of at least one of the instruments, annunciators, and controls to be interpreted; open an output file for storing the image to be interpreted; determine whether a captured image to be interpreted exists; if the captured image exists; decode the captured image; determine a state of the at least one of the instruments, annunciators, and controls based upon the decoded captured image and the definition in the configuration file; and write the state of the at least one of the instruments, annunciators, and controls to the output file. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
