Commercial interactions with non-discretized items such as liquids in carafes or other dispensers are detected and associated with actors using images captured by one or more digital cameras including the carafes or dispensers within their fields of view. The images are processed to detect body parts of actors and other aspects therein, and to not only determine that a commercial interaction has occurred but also identify an actor that performed the commercial interaction. Based on information or data determined from such images, movements of body parts associated with raising, lowering or rotating one or more carafes or other dispensers may be detected, and a commercial interaction involving such carafes or dispensers may be detected and associated with a specific actor accordingly.

A global and local binary pattern image crack segmentation method based on robot vision comprises the following steps: enhancing a contrast of an acquired original image to obtain an enhanced map; using an improved local binary pattern detection algorithm to process the enhanced map and construct a saliency map; using the enhanced map and the saliency map to segment cracks and obtaining a global and local binary pattern automatic crack segmentation method; and evaluating performance of the obtained global and local binary pattern automatic crack segmentation method. The present application uses logarithmic transformation to enhance the contrast of a crack image, so that information of dark parts of the cracks is richer. Texture features of a rotation invariant local binary pattern are improved. Global information of four directions is integrated, and the law of universal gravitation and gray and roundness features are introduced to correct crack segmentation results, thereby improving segmentation accuracy. Crack regions can be segmented in the background of uneven illumination and complex textures. The method has good robustness and meets requirements of online detection.

An example method includes causing a light projecting system of a distance sensor to project a three-dimensional pattern of light onto an object, wherein the three-dimensional pattern of light comprises a plurality of points of light that collectively forms the pattern, causing a light receiving system of the distance sensor to acquire an image of the three-dimensional pattern of light projected onto the object, causing the light receiving system to acquire a two-dimensional image of the object, detecting a feature point in the two-dimensional image of the object, identifying an interpolation area for the feature point, and computing three-dimensional coordinates for the feature point by interpolating using three-dimensional coordinates of two points of the plurality of points that are within the interpolation area.
