Abstract: A system, comprising: one or more processors; and a memory storing executable instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: analyze a syringe scan of a syringe to determine (i) a first distance from a sensor to a first surface of the syringe and (ii) a second distance from the sensor to a second surface of the syringe, wherein the syringe scan is generated by the sensor scanning the syringe from a proximal end perspective, and the syringe scan is indicative of distance relative to the sensor; and calculate a distance between the first surface and the second surface based on the first distance and the second distance.

Abstract: Systems and methods of performing line clearance and monitoring are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving a first and second set of images of a manufacturing line during a run-time operation of the manufacturing line, the first set of images representing a first field of view (FOV) that is oriented to capture objects while falling from the manufacturing line, and the second set of images representing a second FOV that is different from the first FOV and oriented to capture objects positioned below the manufacturing line. The example method further includes analyzing the first set of images to identify a falling object; and analyzing the second set of images to identify a stationary object. The example method further includes, responsive to identifying the falling object or the stationary object, causing a display to present a notification that includes an image of the falling object or the stationary object.

Abstract: An automated inspection system includes a sensor system that includes a sensor and is configured to generate a plurality of syringe scans by scanning each of a plurality of syringes. Each of the plurality of syringe scans is indicative of distance relative to the sensor. The automated inspection system also includes one or more processors configured to, for each of the plurality of syringes, analyze the respective syringe scan to determine (i) a first distance to a first portion (e.g., flange) of the syringe and (ii) a second distance to a second portion (e.g., plunger) of the syringe, and calculate a distance between the first and second portions based on the first distance and the second distance.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, or method for vial seal inspection may be based on three-dimensional data that is representative of at least a portion of a vial seal. More particularly, apparatuses, systems, and methods for vial seal inspection may include at least one laser triangulation sensor.

Abstract: Various techniques facilitate the development of an image library that can be used to train and/or validate an automated visual inspection (AVI) model, such an AVI neural network for image classification. In one aspect, an arithmetic transposition algorithm is used to generate synthetic images from original images by transposing features (e.g., defects) onto the original images, with pixel-level realism. In other aspects, digital inpainting techniques are used to generate realistic synthetic images from original images. Deep learning-based inpainting techniques may be used to add, remove, and/or modify defects or other depicted features. In still other aspects, quality control techniques are used to assess the suitability of image libraries for training and/or validation of AVI models, and/or to assess whether individual images are suitable for inclusion in such libraries.
