Multi-access edge computing methods and systems for computer-vision-based product compliance verification

A system comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor of a multi-access edge computing (“MEC”) server integrated within a provider network, the processor communicatively coupled with the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:
• access an image captured by an image capture device communicatively coupled with the MEC server by way of the provider network, the image depicting a product that is to comply with a predefined product standard;
• perform, based on the predefined product standard, a preprocessing operation on the image to prepare the image to be analyzed with respect to the predefined product standard;
• identify a criterion that is associated with the predefined product standard, and a region of the image that is associated with a particular product condition that is to be verified for compliance with the criterion;
• determine, for the identified region of the image and based on the performing of the preprocessing operation, whether the product condition complies with the identified criterion;
• generate, based on the determining of whether the product condition complies with the identified criterion, compliance verification data indicative of whether the product complies with the predefined product standard;
• and
• provide the compliance verification data to a monitoring system separate from and communicatively coupled to the MEC server by way of the provider network.
