    Abstract: Radiographic imaging, or X-ray imaging, may be used to identify information regarding the contents of a container or other sealed object without having to open the container or the sealed object. One or more visual analyses of radiographic images may identify items within a container, or a condition of such items, as well as the portions or amounts of the contents of the container that correspond to air or dunnage. Additionally, a radiographic image may be projected onto an external surface of a container, or rendered within an augmented reality device or wearable computer device, thereby providing information regarding the contents of the container to a worker or other personnel within a vicinity of the container.

    Abstract: A suitable imaging device for capturing images of an object or an area of interest may be automatically selected based on information regarding the locations and/or other operational properties of a plurality of imaging devices, and a location of the object or the area of interest. One or more geometric models of the fields of view of the imaging devices may be generated, and whether the object or the area of interest falls within one or more of the fields of view may be determined using such models. Where multiple imaging devices may include the object or the area of interest, within a field of view, the imaging device having the most suitable image, e.g., the largest or highest resolution image of the object or the area of interest, may be selected.

    Abstract translation: 可以基于关于多个成像设备的位置和/或其他操作属性以及对象或感兴趣区域的位置的信息来自动选择用于捕获对象或感兴趣区域的图像的合适的成像设备。 可以生成成像装置的视野的一个或多个几何模型,并且可以使用这些模型来确定对象或感兴趣区域是否落入一个或多个视场内。 在多个成像装置可以包括物体或感兴趣区域的视场内,可以选择具有最合适图像的成像装置,例如对象或感兴趣区域的最大或最高分辨率图像。

    Abstract: Visual cues may be provided for the purpose of triggering the performance of one or more actions associated with a given task. A visual cue may include one or more characters or other markings on any relevant surfaces, as well as naturally appearing edges, contours or outlines within an environment in which the visual cue is provided. When one or more visual cues appear within a field of view of an imaging device, and the visual cues are recognized as such, a task relating to the visual cues may be identified, and instructions for performing the task may be provided. The task may be dependent upon a context in which the visual cues are provided, such that a single visual cue may be associated with multiple tasks in different contexts, and the performance of the task may be confirmed based on imaging data or other relevant information.

    Abstract translation: 可以提供视觉线索以用于触发与给定任务相关联的一个或多个动作的执行。 视觉提示可以包括任何相关表面上的一个或多个字符或其他标记,以及在其中提供视觉提示的环境中的自然出现的边缘,轮廓或轮廓。 当一个或多个视觉提示出现在成像设备的视野内时,并且视觉提示被识别时,可以识别与视觉提示相关的任务,并且可以提供用于执行任务的指令。 任务可以取决于提供视觉提示的上下文,使得单个视觉提示可以与不同上下文中的多个任务相关联,并且可以基于成像数据或其他相关信息确认任务的执行。

    Abstract: Digital media files that are captured using one or more imaging devices and stored in one or more data stores may be compressed, modified or disposed of based on business value scores associated with such files. The business value scores may be generated on any available information that may be known or determined regarding the contents of such files, including records of activity occurring within a vicinity of the imaging devices, or data obtained through an analysis of such files. Moreover, the business value scores may be altered on any basis, including according to one or more functions, and the compression, modification or disposal of such files may be altered accordingly.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes a device and system for verifying the content of items in a bin within a materials handling facility. In some implementations, a bin content verification apparatus may pass by one or more bins and capture images of those bins. The images may be processed to determine whether the content included in the bins has changed since the last time images of the bins were captured. A determination may also be made as to whether a change to the bin content was expected and, if so, if the determined change corresponds with the expected change.
