More Information
Summary:The method involves performing digital image acquisition from a part of a transport container e.g. beverage crate, provided with a graphical identification e.g. logo. An image data matrix is created by the digital image acquisition or image processing of the graphical identification. An image data list (PICL) is created from the image data matrix. The image data list is linked with a pattern data list (TMPL) representing a feature list for an optical recognition feature by feature list-based cross-correlation, so as to verify whether the feature is present in the graphical identification. An independent claim is also included for a device for detecting a transport container, comprising a camera.
