Abstract: A system for the automated analysis of image quality obtained by a camera in a camera tunnel system includes a test pattern on an item for placement in the camera tunnel system and an imaging subsystem configured to capture an image of the item using the camera tunnel system, wherein the image includes an image of the test pattern. The system further includes an image analysis tool configured to automatically identify and analyze the image of the test pattern for generating one or more image quality metrics.

Abstract: A parcel imaging system includes means for transporting parcels and image sensors oriented to image the parcels. An image construction subsystem is configured to stitch together outputs of the image sensors to produce at least one two-dimensional images of a parcel, and to construct, using the at least one two-dimensional image, at least one displayable three-dimensional image of the parcel.
