Abstract:
The present invention provides systems and methods for tracking items (e.g., commodities, goods, containers, boxes, packages, etc.) through transportations to multiple locations within a pre-defined space, to allow the position(s) and movement(s) of such items to be accurately tracked and documented, and to allow such items to be quickly identified and located based on tracking records kept within the tracking system. The system may utilize image sensors, image recognition and processes software, position translation software, and a virtual model of the pre-defined space in order to track objects within the defined space and maintain a record of the movement(s) and position(s) of the object within the pre-defined space.

Claim (Index 78):
A quality control method for automated detection of container contents, comprising:\n a. placing a unique object marker on each of a plurality of containers, each of said containers comprising a particular product; b. passing each of said plurality of containers through a quality control station, said quality control station comprises at least one electronic image acquisition device having a machine vision system, the machine vision system comprising an image sensor and image capture electronics, said at least one electronic image acquisition device being in electronic communication with a processor and said processor being in electronic communication with a computer-readable memory; c. capturing at least one image of said container using said image acquisition device; d. using an image processing system for analyzing pixels in the at least one image to identify said object marker within said at least one image; and e. using said image processing system to analyze optical features in said object marker and comparing identification data encoded in said optical features to database records stored in said computer-readable memory to identify an electronic record of said object marker including an identity of the product in said container, said database records including electronic data for a plurality of unique object markers.
