IMAGE-BASED INVENTORY CONTROL SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION AND IMAGE CORRECTION

摘要

Systems for monitoring an inventory condition of objects based on captured images are described. An exemplary system includes at least one storage drawer, each storage drawer including a plurality of storage locations for storing objects; and an image sensing device configured to capture an image of one of the storage locations. A radio-frequency identification (RFID) sensor sub-system senses attributes of objects located in the inventory control system. A data storage system stores, for each storage location, reference data including identification of the object associated with each storage location. A data processor determines the inventory condition of each storage location of the captured image based on the image data of the captured image in conjunction with the sensing data of attributes of objects located in the inventory control system.

1. An inventory control system for determining an inventory condition of objects stored in the system, the system comprising:
a plurality of storage locations for storing objects, wherein each storage location is associated with an object; an image sensing device configured to capture an image of the storage locations; a radio-frequency identification (RFID) sensor sub-system configured to sense attributes of objects located in the inventory control system; a data storage system storing reference data for each storage location, wherein the reference data includes identification of the object associated with each storage location; and a data processor configured to:
access image data of the image of the storage locations captured by the image sensing device;access sensing data of attributes of objects located in the inventory control system captured by the RFID sensor sub-system; anddetermine the inventory condition of each storage location of the captured image based on the image data of the captured image in conjunction with the sensing data of attributes of objects located in the inventory control system.
