Abstract
A cargo-sensing unit including: an image sensor; a transceiver; at least one processor; and a memory having stored thereon computer program code that, when executed by the processor, controls the at least one processor to: receive, from a controlling server and through the transceiver, an instruction to capture an image of cargo space within a cargo container; control the image sensor to capture an image of the cargo space in response to receiving the instruction; and operate in accordance with a determined cargo container status based on an analysis of the captured image.
Claims19
A cargo-sensing unit comprising:
- an image sensor;
- a transceiver;
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory having stored thereon computer program code that, when executed by the processor, controls the at least one processor to:
- receive, from a controlling server and through the transceiver, an instruction to capture an image of cargo space within a cargo container;
- control the image sensor to capture an image of the cargo space in response to receiving the instruction;
- operate in accordance with a determined cargo container status based on an analysis of the captured image;
- and
- in response to a cargo shift being detected, from the captured image, update a trained classifier model with a previous image of the cargo space.
A cargo-sensor controlling server comprising:
- a transceiver;
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory having stored thereon computer program code that, when executed by the processor, controls the at least one processor to:
- receive, from a cargo-sensing unit and through the transceiver, cargo container status information of a cargo container;
- output, to the cargo-sensing unit and through the transceiver, an instruction to capture an image of cargo space within the cargo container;
- receive, from the cargo-sensing unit and through the transceiver, a captured image of the cargo space;
- detect, from the captured image, a cargo shift and
- update, in response to detecting the cargo shift, a trained classifier model with a previous image of the cargo space.
A cargo-monitoring method comprising:
- receiving, from a cargo-sensing unit, cargo container status information of a cargo container;
- transmitting, to the cargo-sensing unit, an instruction to capture an image of cargo space within the cargo container;
- receiving, from the cargo-sensing unit, a captured image of the cargo space;
- detecting, from the captured image, a cargo shift and
- updating, in response to detecting the cargo shift, a trained classifier model with a previous image of the cargo space.
