SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AGGREGATING METADATA FOR ITEM IDENTIFICATION USING DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING

A system for identifying items based on aggregated metadata obtains images of an item. The system extracts a set of features from images of the item. The system identifies a first value of a first feature associated with a first image of the item. The system identifies a second value of the first feature associated with a second image of the item. The system aggregates the first value and the second value. The system associates the item to the aggregated first value and the second value, where the aggregated first value and the second value represent the first feature of the item. The system adds a new entry for each image of the item to a training dataset associated with an item identification model.

REDUCING A SEARCH SPACE FOR ITEM IDENTIFICATION USING MACHINE LEARNING

A device configured to receive a first encoded vector and receive one or more feature descriptors for a first object. The device is further configured to remove one or more encoded vectors from an encoded vector library that are not associated with the one or more feature descriptors and to identify a second encoded vector in the encoded vector library that most closely matches the first encoded vector based on the numerical values within the first encoded vector. The device is further configured to identify a first item identifier in the encoded vector library that is associated with the second encoded vector and to output the first item identifier.

IMAGE CROPPING USING DEPTH INFORMATION

A device configured to capture a first image of an item on a platform using a camera and to determine a first number of pixels in the first image that corresponds with the item. The device is further configured to capture a first depth image of an item on the platform using a three-dimensional (3D) sensor and to determine a second number of pixels within the first depth image that corresponds with the item. The device is further configured to determine that the difference between the first number of pixels in the first image and the second number of pixels in the first depth image is less than the difference threshold value, to extract the plurality of pixels corresponding with the item in the first image from the first image to generate a second image, and to output the second image.

GRAVIMETRIC MEASURING DEVICE

A gravimetric measuring device includes a weighing chamber with a vertical weighing chamber wall, which is formed as a support structure (14) with cover modules (28) detachably fixed thereto on the weighing chamber side, each cover module (28) having, on its weighing chamber side, a module front wall (30) covering the support structure (14) at least partially. The cover modules (28) have locking cantilevers (38) directed towards the support structure such that the locking cantilevers (38) are provided with vertically directed through-openings (40) which are aligned with corresponding through-openings (20, 22) of the support structure (14). The cover modules (28) are locked to the support structure (14) with locking rods (42) which pass through the mutually aligned through-openings (40; 20, 22) of the cover modules (28) and the support structure (14).

Embodiments of the present application provide a weighing device that comprises a weighing unit for weighing wafers, a support structure placed on the weighing unit, at least two support platforms disposed on the support structure and each having a bearing surface for supporting peripheral regions of the wafers, and a driving part for driving the support platforms to move on the support structure, so as to adapt the at least two support platforms to bear the differently sized wafers. Since a wafer contacts merely several support platforms, cleanness of the wafer is better maintained during the weighing process; at the same time, the support platforms are enabled to stably bear differently sized wafers through adjustment of movements of the support platforms on the support structure.
