  • Publication number: 20240045931
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method can include receiving first images of produce. The method can further include executing a first machine learning model to generate second images of produce based on the first images of produce. The first images of produce can include (1) images of non-bagged produce or (2) images of bagged produce. The second images of produce can include the other of (1) images of non-bagged produce or (2) images of bagged produce. The method can further include training a second machine learning model based on the first images of produce and the second images of produce. The method can further include executing, after the training, the second machine learning model to classify as a bagged produce or a non-bagged produce an image not included in the first images and not included in the second images.

  • Patent number: 11727678
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method can include executing a first model to extract a first region of interest (ROI) image and a second ROI image from an image that shows an item and an indication of information associated to the item. The first ROI image can include a portion of the image showing the item and the second ROI image can include a portion of the image showing the indication of information. The method can further include executing a second model to identify the item from the first ROI image and generate a representation of the item. The method can further include executing a third model to read the indication of information associated to the item from the second ROI image and generate a representation of information.

  • Publication number: 20230196738
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method can include capturing images of produce. The method can further include generating simulated images of produce based on the images of produce. The method can further include associating each image of produce from the images of produce and each simulated image of produce from the simulated images of produce with a category indicator, an organic type indicator, and a bag type indicator, to generate a training set. The method can further include training a machine leaning model using the training set such that when the machine learning model is executed, the machine learning model receives an image and generates a predicted category indicator of the image, a predicted organic type indicator of the image, and a predicted bag type indicator of the image.

  • Publication number: 20230106190
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes receiving an image of produce and an image of marking. The image of produce has a set of pixels, each associated with a position and a color value. The method further includes generating a grayscale image from the image of produce. The method further includes cropping out a portion from the grayscale image. The method further includes locating a marking position pixel on the image of produce by: (a) producing a list of pixels that are part of the cropped portion, (b) selecting, from the list of pixels, a subset of pixels having grayscale pixel values above a threshold, and (c) randomly selecting the marking position pixel from the subset of pixels. The method further includes overlaying the image of marking on the image of produce by coinciding a pixel of the image of marking with the marker position pixel.

  • Patent number: 11599748
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method can include capturing images of produce. The method can further include generating simulated images of produce based on the images of produce. The method can further include associating each image of produce from the images of produce and each simulated image of produce from the simulated images of produce with a category indicator, an organic type indicator, and a bag type indicator, to generate a training set. The method can further include training a machine leaning model using the training set such that when the machine learning model is executed, the machine learning model receives an image and generates a predicted category indicator of the image, a predicted organic type indicator of the image, and a predicted bag type indicator of the image.
