Abstract
Examples associated with template generation are disclosed. One example includes identifying a set of edges of a set of labels from an image of a sheet of labels. Members of the set of labels in an unused state are also identified. A printing template is generated for the sheet of labels based on the edges of the set of labels and based on which members of the set of labels are in an in-used state.
Claims14
A method, comprising:
- identifying, from an image of a sheet of labels, which members of a set of labels have been removed;
- identifying, from the image, which members of the set of labels have not been removed but are in a used state;
- identifying, from the image, which members of the set of labels have not been removed and are in an unused state;
- identifying, from the image, edges of the labels, and
- generating a printing template for the sheet of labels based on which members have been removed, which members have not been removed but are in a used state, and which members have not been removed and are in the unused state, the printing template including dimensions of the labels corresponding to the identified edges,
- wherein generating the printing template comprises determining the dimensions of the labels from the edges identified in the image.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
- identify, from an image of a partially used label sheet, which labels have been removed, which labels have not been removed but are in a used state, and which labels have not been removed and are in an unused state;
- identify, from the image, edges of the labels;
- and
- generate a printing template for the partially used label sheet based on which labels have been removed, which labels have not been removed but are in the used state, and which labels have not been removed and are in the unused state, the printing template including dimensions of the labels corresponding to the identified edges,
- wherein the processor generating the printing template includes the processor determining the dimensions of the labels from the edges identified in the image.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- scan a label sheet;
- identify which labels have been removed from the label sheet;
- identify which labels have not been removed from the label sheet but are in a used state;
- identify which labels have not been removed from the label sheet and are in an unused state;
- identify edges of the labels;
- generate a printing template for the label sheet based on which labels have been removed from the label sheet, which labels are in the used state, and which labels are in the unused state, on which print labels are in a used state, the printing template including dimensions of the labels corresponding to the identified edges;
- and
- transmit the printing template to an external device,
- wherein the processor generating the printing template includes the processor determining the dimensions of the labels from the edges identified in the image.
