Abstract
Described herein are methods, systems, and apparatuses for storage analysis and management using computer vision techniques. An imaging device may capture a series of images of a plurality of containers. The series of images may be analyzed by a classification model to determine a current capacity of each container. When the classification model determines that a current capacity of a container(s) satisfies a threshold(s), at least one remedial action may be performed.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, a quantity of pixels within at least one first image captured by at least one imaging device and depicting at least one container, wherein the first quantity of pixels is indicative of a current capacity of the at least one container;
- causing, based on one or more sensors, the at least one imaging device not to capture at least one second image, wherein the at least one imaging device is in communication with the one or more sensors;
- and
- causing, based on a reference quantity of pixels and the quantity of pixels within the at least one first image satisfying a first threshold quantity, at least one remedial action to be performed, wherein the reference quantity of pixels is associated with the first threshold quantity.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- determine a quantity of pixels within at least one first image captured by at least one imaging device and depicting at least one container, wherein the first quantity of pixels is indicative of a current capacity of the at least one container;
- cause, based on one or more sensors, the at least one imaging device not to capture at least one second image, wherein the at least one imaging device is in communication with the one or more sensors;
- and
- cause, based on a reference quantity of pixels and the quantity of pixels within the at least one first image satisfying a first threshold quantity, at least one remedial action to be performed, wherein the reference quantity of pixels is associated with the first threshold quantity.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- determine a quantity of pixels within at least one first image captured by at least one imaging device and depicting at least one container, wherein the first quantity of pixels is indicative of a current capacity of the at least one container;
- cause, based on one or more sensors, the at least one imaging device not to capture at least one second image, wherein the at least one imaging device is in communication with the one or more sensors;
- and
- cause, based on a reference quantity of pixels and the quantity of pixels within the at least one first image satisfying a first threshold quantity, at least one remedial action to be performed, wherein the reference quantity of pixels is associated with the first threshold quantity.
