Image processing for an appliance

A system for processing images of an appliance, comprising:

• an imaging device configured to capture an image of a cavity of the appliance;
• a support member disposed in the cavity configured to support an object thereon;
• and
• a processor in communication with the imaging device configured to:
• determine dimensional data of the appliance based on an identity of the appliance;
• calculate a histogram of gradients based on the image;
• compare the histogram of gradients to the dimensional data;
• and
• determine a position of a support member in the cavity based on the comparison of the histogram of gradients to the dimensional data.

A system for processing images of an appliance, comprising:

• an imaging device configured to capture an image of a cavity of the appliance;
• a support member disposed in the cavity configured to support an object thereon;
• and
• a processor in communication with the imaging device configured to:
• identify the support member in the cavity based on the image;
• compare the image to target image data of the cavity, wherein the target image data includes a plurality of images having support members positioned at a plurality of heights in the cavity;
• determine a position of the support member based on the comparison of the image to the target image data;
• and
• determine a location of the object based on the position of the support member.
