  • Method for the computer-aided recognition of a transport container being empty and device for the computer-aided recognition of a transport container being empty
    Patent number: 10546198
    Abstract: A method for computer-aided recognition of a transport container being empty is provided. The method includes capturing image data of a region of the transport container; determining a contour pattern, which represents the transport container, using the image data; determining a deviation variable, which represents a deviation of the contour pattern from at least one reference pattern, wherein the at least one reference pattern represents an empty transport container; and outputting a signal if the deviation variable satisfies a predefined criterion.
