An installation for identifying handled parcels, said installation including a linear conveyor for conveying parcels in series. The installation further includes a monitoring and control central unit suitable for instantly determining the three-dimensional position of each parcel on the conveyor, and at least one handheld electronic unit that is suitable for detecting identification information on a parcel when it is placed in the vicinity of said parcel, and for transmitting said information to the central unit. The central unit is arranged to read an instantaneous three-dimensional position for said handheld unit in response to receiving said information coming from said handheld unit, and to detect a match between said instantaneous three-dimensional position of the handheld unit and said instantaneous three-dimensional position of the parcel as determined by the central unit.

Provided are systems and methods for associating an asset with a sort location, the system comprising a conveyor belt assembly and a user device configured to be worn by a user. The conveyor belt assembly comprises: an acquisition device and a plurality of stripes defining a non-repeating pattern, the plurality of stripes comprising a plurality of unique sets of stripes. The acquisition device is configured to capture image data comprising asset identifier data and conveyor mechanism data, the conveyor mechanism data including one of the plurality of unique sets of stripes. The user device is configured to capture conveyor mechanism data including one of the plurality of unique sets of stripes; remotely receive asset identifier data associated with the user device captured conveyor mechanism data; and generate and display to the user, relative to the asset, at least one visual indicator of one or more sort instructions for the asset.

Assisted manual mail sorting system for assisting an operator in manual sortation of mailpieces in a sorting station including a plurality of destination bins, the system comprising a headset wearable by the operator and connected to a computer comprising an image analysis software for extracting from an image of one of the mailpieces, a name, an address or other relevant information and a sorting application for determining a corresponding relevant destination bin, the headset comprising: a high resolution camera for capturing the image of the mailpiece, a transparent display for signalling to the operator the relevant destination bin where the article is to be placed by highlighting or overlaying a visual artifact on a view of the sorting station while the operator is looking at the sorting station.

The invention relates to a method for classifying a light-emitting semiconductor component (301) for an image sensor application, wherein the semiconductor component (301) is designed as a light source for an image sensor (302), comprising the following steps: providing the light-emitting semiconductor component (301); determining at least one of the following parameters of the light emitted with an emission spectrum by the light-emitting semiconductor component (301) during operation: R=qR().Math.S()d.Math.texp, G=qG().Math.S()d.Math.texp, B=qB().Math.S()d.Math.texp, wherein qR(), qG(), and qB() are spectral sensitivities of a red, green, and blue color channel of the image sensor (302), S() is the emission spectrum of the light-emitting semiconductor component (301), texp is an exposure time, and designates a wavelength; classifying the light-emitting semiconductor component (301) into a class from a group of classes, which are characterized by different value ranges of at least one parameter that depends on at least one of the parameters R, G, and B. The invention further relates to an image sensor application.
