METHOD AND SYSTEM OF IDENTIFYING CONTAINER NUMBER
First Claim
1. A method of identifying a container number, comprising steps of:
- arranging an image acquiring device along a passageway through which a container passes, the image acquiring device comprising a trigger unit and a plurality of image acquiring units, at least two image acquiring units of the plurality of image acquiring units being adapted to respectively acquire images of container numbers on at least two surfaces of a plurality of surfaces of the container passing through the passageway;
acquiring the images of the container numbers on the at least two surfaces respectively by the at least two image acquiring units based on a signal from the trigger unit; and
identifying the container number at least based on the images or data from the at least two image acquiring units about the container number.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method of identifying a container number, including: arranging an image acquiring device along a passageway through which a container will pass, the image acquiring device comprising a trigger unit and a plurality of image acquiring units, at least two image acquiring units of the plurality of image acquiring units being adapted to respectively acquire images of the container numbers on at least two surfaces of a plurality of surfaces of the container passing through the passageway; acquiring the images of the container numbers on the at least two surfaces respectively by the at least two image acquiring units based on a signal from the trigger unit; and identifying the container number at least based on the images or data from the at least two image acquiring units about the container number. The present disclosure also relates to a system of identifying a container number.
