Identifying and evaluating potential center stringers of a pallet in an image scene
First Claim
1. A method for evaluating a possible center stringer of a pallet comprising:
- providing a first Ro image comprising pixels that may generally correspond to an orthogonal distance from an origin point to one or more possible vertical left lines in a corresponding gray scale image;
providing a second Ro image comprising pixels that may generally correspond to an orthogonal distance from an origin point to one or more possible vertical right lines in the corresponding gray scale image;
identifying, using a computer, a possible lower left corner location of a center stringer in the corresponding gray scale image;
determining, using the computer, an upper left corner location based on the possible lower left corner location;
identifying, using the computer, a possible lower right corner location of the center stringer in the corresponding gray scale image; and
determining, using the computer, an upper right corner location based on the possible lower right corner location.

Abstract
A method is provided for evaluating a possible center stringer of a pallet. The method may comprise providing a first Ro image; providing a second Ro image comprising pixels that may generally correspond to an orthogonal distance from an origin point to one or more possible vertical right lines in the corresponding gray scale image; identifying, using a computer, a possible lower left corner location of a center stringer in the corresponding gray scale image; determining, using the computer, an upper left corner location based on the possible lower left corner location; identifying, using the computer, a possible lower right corner location of the center stringer in the corresponding gray scale image; and determining, using the computer, an upper right corner location based on the possible lower right corner location.

14. A system for evaluating a possible center stringer of a pallet comprising:
-
a memory storage device; a computer configured to execute instructions stored in the memory storage device; a first Ro image comprising pixels that may generally correspond to an orthogonal distance from an origin point to one or more possible vertical left lines in a corresponding gray scale image; a second Ro image comprising pixels that may generally correspond to an orthogonal distance from an origin point to one or more possible vertical right lines in the corresponding gray scale image; the computer when executing instructions stored in the memory storage device; identifies a possible lower left corner location of a center stringer in the corresponding gray scale image; determines an upper left corner location based on the possible lower left corner location; identifies a possible lower right corner location of the center stringer in the corresponding gray scale image; and determines an upper right corner location based on the possible lower right corner location. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 33, 34)
