System and method for image selection of bundled objects
First Claim
1. A bundled object image selection system, the system comprising:
- an array of sensors configured to at least partially surround a bundle of objects, wherein the sensors comprise lasers adapted to obtain physical dimensional data about the bundle;
at least one camera configured to obtain a plurality of images of the bundle;
a processor for executing computer-executable instructions; and
a memory for storing computer executable instructions, that when executed by the processor implements (i) a limit module that processes the physical dimensional data to determine a limit of the bundle, wherein the limit module processes histogram vectors starting at a center of the bundle and working outwards and (ii) a selection module that selects at least one image from the plurality of images corresponding to the limit.

Abstract
A bundled object image selection system includes an array of sensors configured to at least partially surround a bundle of objects, wherein the sensors are lasers adapted to obtain physical dimensional data about the bundle. The system also includes at least one camera configured to obtain a plurality of images of the bundle, a processor for executing computer-executable instructions, and a memory for storing computer executable instructions. When the instructions are executed, the processor implements a limit module that processes the physical dimensional data to determine a limit of the bundle and a selection module that selects at least one image from the plurality of images corresponding to the limit.

11. A method for selecting an image of bundled objects, the method comprising:
-
obtaining physical dimensional data about the bundled objects using laser sensors; recording a plurality of images of the bundled objects with at least one camera; processing the physical dimensional data with a processor to determine a limit of the bundle, wherein the processing comprises processing histogram vectors starting at a center of the bundle and working outwards; and selecting at least one image from the plurality of images corresponding to the limit. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
