Publication number: 20240394868Abstract: Methods and systems for automated detection of carton defects are disclosed. One method includes capturing one or more images of a carton via a camera system at a routing location within a warehouse of a retail supply chain, and applying a machine learning model to determine a likelihood of damage of the carton. The method can include, based on the likelihood of damage being above a particular threshold, identifying the carton as damaged. A carton assessment record can be stored in a carton damage tracking database, including the one or more images of the carton alongside the likelihood of damage and the routing location.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2024Publication date: November 28, 2024Applicant: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: MATTHEW NOKLEBY, DEEPTI PACHAURI, KENNETH ZINS

Patent number: 11823128Abstract: Systems and methods for automating image annotations are provided, such that a large-scale annotated image collection may be efficiently generated for use in machine learning applications. In some aspects, a mobile device may capture image frames, identifying items appearing in the image frames and detect objects in three-dimensional space across those image frames. Cropped images may be created as associated with each item, which may then be correlated to the detected objects. A unique identifier may then be captured that is associated with the detected object, and labels are automatically applied to the cropped images based on data associated with that unique identifier. In some contexts, images of products carried by a retailer may be captured, and item data may be associated with such images based on that retailer's item taxonomy, for later classification of other/future products.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2022Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Siskind, Matthew Nokleby, Nicholas Eggert, Stephen Radachy, Corey Hadden, Rachel Alderman, Edgar Cobos

Publication number: 20190339087Abstract: A method for operating a ride-share-enabled vehicle includes determining a target location of the ride-share-enabled vehicle, determining a ride-sharing policy algorithm to determine a behavior of the ride-share-enabled vehicle including whether to accept a multiple shared ride or maintain a single shared ride and a route of the multiple shared ride, if any, based on the determined target location of the ride-share-enabled vehicle, determining a behavior of the ride-share-enabled vehicle based on a current location of the ride-share-enabled vehicle and the determined ride-sharing policy algorithm, and causing the ride-share-enabled vehicle to be operated according to the determined behavior of the ride-share-enabled vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2018Publication date: November 7, 2019Inventors: Ishan JINDAL, Zhiwei QIN, Xuewen CHEN, Matthew NOKLEBY, Jieping YE
