Laser-based adaptive imaging technique

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• at least one memory storing processor-executable instruction that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a measured fill level for a container based on a distance reading measurement;
• select a focus level from a plurality of calibrated focus levels based on the measured fill level;
• provide, to an imaging device, one or more imaging instructions to trigger a validation image at the focus level;
• receive, from the imaging device, an imaging response to the one or more imaging instructions that comprises an image classification for the validation image;
• generate a verification event based on the image classification;
• and
• store the verification event in association with the container, wherein the verification event comprises the image classification and the measured fill level.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive a measured fill level for a container based on a distance reading measurement;
• select a focus level from a plurality of calibrated focus levels based on the measured fill level;
• provide, to an imaging device, one or more imaging instructions to trigger a validation image at the focus level;
• receive, from the imaging device, an imaging response to the one or more imaging instructions that comprises an image classification for the validation image;
• generate a verification event based on the image classification;
• and
• store the verification event in association with the container, wherein the verification event comprises the image classification and the measured fill level.
