    摘要: Methods for assessing trailer utilization are disclosed herein. An example method includes capturing an image featuring a trailer, and segmenting the image into a plurality of regions. For each region the example method may include cropping the image to exclude data that exceeds a respective forward distance threshold, and iterating over each data point to determine whether or not a matching point is included. Responsive to whether or not a matching point included for a respective data point, the method may include adding the respective data point or the matching point to a respective region based on a position of the respective data point. Further, the method may include calculating a normalized height of the respective region based on whether or not a gap is present in the respective region; and creating a 3D model visualization of the trailer that depicts trailer utilization.

    摘要: Methods for unit loading device (ULD) localization are disclosed herein. An example method includes capturing a set of image data featuring the ULD. The example method further includes cropping the set of image data to generate a cropped image. The cropped image features a portion of the ULD. The example method further includes determining one or more candidate edges of the portion of the ULD within the cropped image. The example method further includes identifying one or more edges of the portion of the ULD from the one or more candidate edges, wherein each of the one or more edges represents a boundary of the portion of the ULD.

    摘要: Methods for determining a unit load device (ULD) container type are disclosed herein. An example method includes capturing a set of image data featuring the ULD and aligning the set of image data with a template. The method further includes converting the set of image data and the template to down-sampled grids including a plurality of rows and columns. The method further includes removing portions of the image data grid that do not exceed a density threshold. The method further includes identifying a ULD border and a template border by extracting leftmost, rightmost, and topmost grid values from the respective grids. The method further includes calculating a match score corresponding to the template by determining a shortest respective distance between grid values in the ULD border and the template border, and determining ULD container type corresponding to the ULD based on the match score.

    摘要: A system and method for optimizing imaging system parameters includes determining, by a processor, a first set and second set of imaging parameters. An imaging device captures one or more first images according to the first set of imaging parameters while the processor is determining the second set of imaging parameters. The method further includes determining a first score from data associated with the one or more first images, capturing one or more second images according to the second set of imaging parameters, and determining a second score from data associated with the one or more second images. The processor then determines, from the first and second scores, an optimized set of imaging parameters from the first set of imaging parameters and the second set of imaging parameters.

    摘要: Methods and systems for optimizing one or more decoder parameters of an indicia decoder are disclosed herein. An example method includes applying a decoder algorithm to a first image data set to detect and decode one or more indicia, wherein the decoder algorithm utilizes a first set of parameters and a second set of parameters. The example method includes determining a minimum value and a maximum value for each parameter of the first set of parameters, and adjusting a parameter of the second set of parameters from a first value to a second value. The example method includes applying the decoder algorithm to a second image data set to detect and decode one or more indicia, and setting the parameter to one of the first value or the second value during subsequent applications of the decoder algorithm.

    摘要: Systems and methods for adaptively determining a region of interest (ROI) are disclosed herein. An example device includes an imaging assembly and a controller. The imaging assembly captures image data comprising pixel data from a plurality of pixels. The controller calculates a contrast value for each pixel of the plurality of pixels, generates a histogram of contrast values, calculates an area under the curve of the histogram, and determines a contrast value threshold to delineate between high-contrast value pixels and low-contrast value pixels. The controller also identifies a ROI within the image data by locating a region within the image data that (i) satisfies a pre-determined size threshold and (ii) contains a largest number of high-contrast value pixels relative to all other regions that satisfy the pre-determined size threshold, and adjusts imaging parameters of the imaging assembly based on the ROI to capture at least one subsequent image.

    摘要: Systems and methods for fast autotuning of industrial fixed vision cameras are disclosed herein. An example method includes modifying illumination settings of a camera until a brightness value for captured image data reaches a minimum value; modifying a focus level of the camera to determine a range of camera focus levels for successfully decoding barcodes; configuring the camera to operate using a midpoint focus value of the range; modifying illumination settings of the camera until the brightness associated with the captured image data reaches an optimal value; and modifying the focus level of the camera, within the range, to determine an optimal focus level at which sharpness for the captured image is optimized; and capturing, by the camera, operating at the determined optimal focus level and with illumination settings for the optimal threshold brightness value, image data associated with a new target object affixed with a new barcode.
