Estimating the term…
A computer-implemented method, a computer system, and a computer program product are provided for estimating output data that includes or is based on a number of containers, which may or may not be in receptacles. The method involves using an object detection algorithm operating on an input digital image to detect container images and receptacle images (if any), and using an estimation algorithm operating on the detected images to estimate the number of containers. Estimating the number of containers may involve counting the number of containers within different container classes, as determined by the object detection algorithm. Estimating the number of containers may involve estimating a size of a receptacle in a detected receptacle image based on analysis of a detected reference container image. A detected reference object image may be used to assist with classifying detected container images in different container classes.
A computer-implemented method for estimating output data comprising or based on a number of containers, the method comprising the steps of:
A system comprising a computer processor and a computer memory comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a set of instructions executable by the computer processor to implement a method for estimating output data comprising or based on a number of containers, the method comprising the steps of:
