Abstract
A bottle analysis system receives image data of a bottle to be analyzed, and the data is processed to identify a shape of the bottle, and optionally any identifying markings. A bottle type is then determined. Image analysis is used to determine a liquid level in the bottle and thereby determine a liquid volume in the bottle.
Claims15
A baby bottle analysis system, comprising:
- an input for receiving image data of a baby bottle to be analyzed;
- and
- a processor, wherein the processor is adapted to:
- use image analysis to identify at least shape characteristics of the bottle, and use the identified at least shape characteristics to determine a bottle type from a database of pre-stored different baby bottle types;
- obtain additional information of the baby bottle from the database, which database relates the different baby bottle types to said additional information, wherein said additional information identifies a volume for different liquid levels from the base of the baby bottle;
- and
- use image analysis to determine a liquid level in the baby bottle and use the determined liquid level to determine a liquid volume in the baby bottle based on the baby bottle type and the additional information, the additional information taking into account absolute dimensions of the identified bottle, wherein the processor is adapted to use scale-independent image analysis that does not rely on absolute dimensions to identify the shape characteristics of the bottle and to determine the liquid level.

A method of analyzing a baby bottle, comprising:
- receiving image data of the baby bottle to be analyzed;
- using image analysis to identify at least shape features of the bottle;
- accessing a database of pre-stored different baby bottle types and determining, using the identified at least shape features, a bottle type;
- obtaining additional information of the baby bottle by accessing a database which relates different bottle types to said additional information, wherein said additional information identifies the volume for different liquid levels from the base of the baby bottle;
- and
- using image analysis to determine a liquid level in the bottle and determining, using the determined liquid level, a liquid volume in the baby bottle based on the baby bottle type and said additional information, the additional information taking into account absolute dimensions of the bottle, wherein the image analysis used to identify the shape features of the bottle and to determine the liquid level is scale-independent image analysis that does not rely on absolute dimensions.
