  • Method and system for recognizing an object
    Patent number: 9922245
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for recognizing an object. The method includes emitting an array of infrared rays from an infrared emitter towards a projection region, the projection region including a first object; generating a reference infrared image by recording an intensity of ray reflection from the projection region without the first object; generating a target infrared image by recording the intensity of ray reflection from the projection region with the first object; comparing the target infrared image to the reference infrared image to generate a predetermined intensity threshold; and extracting the first object from the target infrared image, if the intensity of ray reflection of the target infrared image of the first object exceeds the predetermined intensity threshold.
