Method and system for detecting and classifying air pockets within ink supply lines

A system comprising:

• a print device comprising an ink line configured to transport ink;
• an imaging device configured to capture images of at least a portion of the ink line;
• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising programming instructions that are configured to cause the processor to:
• receive one or more images from the imaging device,
• identify, from the one or more images using an air pocket detection model, an air pocket within the ink line,
• determine, for the air pocket, using a classification model, one or more of characteristic labels for the air pocket, and
• based on the one or more characteristic labels for the air pocket, cause the print device to take an action corresponding to the air pocket.
