Abstract: A series of steps may be performed to automatically extract structured data from an image. First, anchor points may be extracted from the image, representing areas of the image that potentially contain information of interest. The arrangement of anchor points may be used to identify a template. A transform may be generated, to facilitate mapping between particular points in the selected template and corresponding points in the image. The transform may then be used to automatically read visual information from the image and extract structured data from the visual information.

Abstract: Example freight management systems and methods are described. In one implementation, techniques receive at least one wide angle camera image from a sensor tower, where the sensor tower is located proximate a loading dock and the wide angle camera image is associated with at least a portion of the loading dock. The techniques also receive multiple high precision camera images from the sensor tower, where the plurality of high precision camera images are associated with at least a portion of the loading dock. The techniques process the wide angle image using a first convolutional neural network (CNN) and process the multiple high precision images using a second CNN. The techniques identify a freight item proximate the loading dock based on the processed high precision images.

Abstract: Example freight management systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a first sensor tower is located near a loading dock and includes multiple camera sensors that capture a first set of images of a freight item in the loading dock. A second sensor tower located near the loading dock captures a second set of images of the freight item. A computing device receives the first set of images and the second set of images. The computing device analyzes the first set of images and the second set of images to identify at least one object associated with the freight item.

Abstract: A golf launch monitor is configured to determine a flight characteristic of a golf ball. The golf launch monitor includes two low-speed cameras, a trigger device, and a processor. The trigger device is configured to detect a golf swing. The processor is configured to instruct, upon the trigger device detecting said golf swing, the first camera to capture the first ball image; instruct the second camera to capture the second ball image after a time interval, wherein the time interval is less than the first frame rate and the second frame rate; and determine, based at least in part on the first ball image and the second ball image, the flight characteristic of the golf ball.
