METHOD FOR THE COMPUTER-ASSISTED DETECTION OF AN EMPTY TRANSPORT CONTAINER AND DEVICE FOR COMPUTER-ASSISTED DETECTION OF AN EMPTY TRANSPORT CONTAINER

摘要

According to various embodiments, a method (100) for computer-aided idle recognition of a transport container (400) may comprise: acquiring (101) image data of a region of the transport container (400); Determining (103) a contour pattern representing the transport container (400) using the image data; Determining (105) a deviation amount representing a deviation of the contour pattern from at least one reference pattern, the at least one reference pattern representing an empty transport container (400); Outputting (107) a signal if the deviation quantity satisfies a predetermined criterion.
