US 2025/0061175 A1 · AUTOMATIC OBJECT IDENTIFICATION AND SERIALIZATION

Abstract

A method includes capturing a plurality of digital images of a physical object. While capturing the plurality of digital images, for each of the captured digital images: whether the digital image is of sufficient quality to determine an object type for the physical object is determined in real-time; an object type for the object is determined in real-time; and whether the digital image is of sufficient quality to generate a digital fingerprint for the physical object from digital image data of the digital image is determined in real-time. The method also includes: extracting features from one or more authentication regions of a digital image of the plurality of digital images, which has been determined to be of sufficient quality to generate a digital fingerprint for the physical object from digital image data of the digital image; and generating a digital fingerprint for the object based on the extracted features.

A method comprising:

capturing a plurality of digital images of a physical object;
while capturing the plurality of digital images, for each of the captured digital images:
determining in real-time if the digital image is of sufficient quality to determine an object type for the physical object from digital image data of the digital image;
determining in real-time an object type for the object when the digital image is of sufficient quality to determine an object type for the physical object from digital image data of the digital image;
and
determining in real-time if the digital image is of sufficient quality to generate a digital fingerprint for the physical object from digital image data of the digital image;
and
extracting features from one or more authentication regions of a digital image of the plurality of digital images, which has been determined to be of sufficient quality to generate a digital fingerprint for the physical object from digital image data of the digital image;
and
generating a digital fingerprint for the object based on the extracted features.

A system comprising:

a scanner configured for capturing a plurality of digital images of a physical object;
machine-readable memory storing executable instructions;
one or more processors configured to execute the stored instructions to cause the system to:
while the scanner captures the plurality of digital images, for each of the captured digital images:
determine in real-time if the digital image is of sufficient quality to determine an object type for the physical object from digital image data of the digital image;
determine in real-time an object type for the object when the digital image is of sufficient quality to determine an object type for the physical object from digital image data of the digital image;
and
determine in real-time if the digital image is of sufficient quality to generate a digital fingerprint for the physical object from digital image data of the digital image;
and
extract features from one or more authentication regions of a digital image of the plurality of digital images, which has been determined to be of sufficient quality to generate a digital fingerprint for the physical object from digital image data of the digital image;
and
generate a digital fingerprint for the object based on the extracted features.
