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: 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: 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.

Abstract: Imaging devices may be mounted to one or more hands of a worker, e.g., on a glove or other substrate that maybe worn on the hands of the worker, and used to capture images or imaging data from a perspective associated with the hands. The images or imaging data may be stored, analyzed or displayed on a computer display, e.g., a display provided on the glove or substrate. Additionally, the images or imaging data may be evaluated to determine whether a task has been properly performed by the worker, such as by identifying one or more markings (e.g., bar codes) that may be provided within the images or the imaging data.

Abstract: Imaging data regarding an interior portion of a storage vessel may be obtained from an imaging device (e.g., a digital camera or depth sensor) and interpreted in order to identify an available volume within the storage vessel. Where the imaging data includes an image of an interior of the storage vessel, an area of one or more contiguous spaces of a rear face of the storage vessel may be identified from the image and multiplied by a depth of the storage vessel in order to estimate the available volume. Where the imaging data includes a depth profile of the interior, the depth profile may be processed in order to estimate the available volume. Once an available volume has been estimated, the capacity of the available volume to accommodate one or more additional items may be determined, and information regarding the capacity may be provided to a user.

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.
