Abstract
This application relates to a method and a system for building machine learning or deep learning data sets for automatically recognizing labels on items. The system may include an optical scanner configured to capture an item including one or more labels provided thereon, the item captured a plurality of times at different positions with respect to the optical scanner. The system may further include a robotic arm on which the item is disposed, the robotic arm configured to rotate the item horizontally and/or vertically such that the one or more labels of the item are captured by the optical scanner at different positions with respect to the optical scanner. The system may include a database configured to store the captured images.
Claims19
A system for building machine learning or deep learning data sets for automatically recognizing information on items, the system comprising:
- an optical scanner configured to capture an item including one or more pieces of information provided thereon, the item captured a plurality of times at different positions with respect to the optical scanner;
- a robotic arm on which the item is deposed, the robotic arm configured to rotate the item horizontally and/or vertically such that the one or more pieces of the information of the item are captured by the optical sensor at the different positions with respect to the optical scanner;
- and
- a database configured to store the captured images of the one or more pieces of information of the item;
- wherein the stain comprises stain relationships between the different positions of the one or more pieces of the information of the item and whether the captured one or more pieces of the information of the item we tub recognized by the optical scanner.
A method of building machine learning or deep learning data sets for automatically recognizing information on items, the method comprising:
- capturing, at an optical scanner, an item inducing one or more pieces of information provided thereon, the item captured a plurality of times at different positions with respect to the optical scanner;
- rotating the item, via a robotic arm on which the item is deposed, horizontally and/or vertically such that the one or more pieces of the information of the item are captured by the optical scanner at the different positions with respect to the optical scanner;
- and
- storing, at a database, the captured images of the one or more pieces of information of the item;
- wherein the stain comprises stain relationships between the different positions of the one or more pieces of the information of the item and whether the captured one or more pieces of the information of the item are tub recognized by the optical scanner.
