Selecting objects within a vertical range of one another corresponding to pallets in an image scene

摘要

A method is provided for identifying one or more scored candidate objects that may correspond to one or more actual pallets in a gray scale image. The method may comprise: identifying, by a computer, a first plurality of scored candidate objects in the gray scale image; storing, by the computer, a starting list of the first plurality of scored candidate objects, wherein the starting list includes a respective record for each of the first plurality of scored candidate objects that includes a respective location of the scored candidate object within the gray scale image, and a respective composite object score that represents a likelihood that the scored candidate object corresponds to an actual pallet structure in the gray scale image; and removing from the starting list each of the first plurality of scored candidate objects which: a) is located within a predetermined vertical distance of a particular one of the first plurality of scored candidate objects; and b) has a respective composite score less than that of the particular one scored candidate object.
