Methods and Systems for Detection of a Consumable in a System
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for detecting a presence of an object-of-interest in a system, the method comprising:
- imaging the first object-of-interest including an identifier, wherein the imaging generates a first set of image data;
determining the portion of the image data including the identifier based on a predetermined location;
dividing the portion of the image data including the identifier into at least two segments; and
determining a presence of the object-of-interest by determining if intensity values within each segment exceed a presence threshold.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for detecting a presence of an object-of-interest in a system is provided. The method includes imaging the first object-of-interest including an identifier, wherein the imaging generates a first set of image data and determining the portion of the image data including the identifier based on a predetermined location. The method further includes dividing the portion of the image data including the identifier into at least two segments Next, the presence of the object-of-interest is determined by determining if intensity values within each segment exceed a presence threshold.
