Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting container seals. In one implementation, a processing device receives one or more images and processes the one or more images to identify one or more areas of interest within at least one of the one or more images, the one or more areas of interest including one or more areas of the one or more images within which a container seal is relatively likely to be present. The processing device compares the one or more identified areas of interest with one or more templates, each of the one or more templates being associated with one or more respective seal types. The processing device identifies, based on the comparison, one or more matches between the one or more identified areas and the one or more templates, and provides, based on the identification of the one or more matches, an identification of the container seal.

48. A system comprising:
-
a memory; and a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to; receive one or more images; process the one or more images to identify one or more areas of the one or more images as being likely to contain a container seal; further process the one or more identified areas of the one or more images to identify a presence of the container seal; and providing an identification of the container seal in relation to the one or more images. - View Dependent Claims (49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65)

66. A computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
-
receive an image; process the image to identify one or more areas of the image as being likely to contain a container seal; compare the one or more identified areas of the image with a template associated with a seal type; determine, based on the comparison, a seal type of the container seal; and provide an identification of the container seal in relation to the image.

67. A method comprising:
-
receiving one or more images; processing the one or more images to identify at least one of one or more hooks or one or more handles of a container within the one or more images; based on an identification of the at least one of one or more hooks or the one or more handles within the one or more images, marking one or more areas of the one or more images as being likely to contain a container seal; processing one or more templates associated with a seal type of the container seal to (a) detect one or more interest points within the one or more templates and (b) compute a numerical descriptor for each of the one or more interest points within the one or more templates; converting the one or more templates into one or more numeric vectors; processing, by a processing device, the one or more areas of the one or more images to generate one or more interest points of the one or more images; matching, based on the one or more numeric vectors, the one or more interest points of the one or more images with the one or more interest points of one or more templates to determine an identification of the container seal, the identification of the container seal comprising the seal type of the container seal; and providing the identification of the container seal. - View Dependent Claims (68)
