20210319543 | DELIVERY PACKAGE DAMAGE DETECTION USING PHOTOGRAMMETRY MODELS - In order to detect possible damage to a delivered product, a set of first images of the product is created prior to delivery which are used to generate a first 3D photogrammetry model, and a set of second electronic images are created after delivery which are used to generate a second 3D photogrammetry model. The two models are then compared to determine whether there is a sufficient deviation to conclude the product has been damaged. The comparison is performed by a cognitive system trained with samples of before/after photogrammetry model pairs each associated with either a damaged condition or a not damaged condition. The baseline photogrammetry model is part of a blockchain record and the recipient photogrammetry model is added to the blockchain record. Intermediate photogrammetry models can also be built where there is more than one shipper along the delivery route to assign liability to the proper party. | 2021-10-14 |
20210319544 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATIC DEFECT RECOGNITION - An image inspection computing device is provided. The device includes a memory device and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to receive at least one sample image of a first component, wherein the at least one sample image of the first component does not include defects, store, in the memory, the at least one sample image, and receive an input image of a second component.

20210319548 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GRADING AND STACKING VENEER STRIPS USING NEAR INFRARED IMAGING - Near InfraRed NIR technology, including NIR cameras and detectors, is used to accurately identify surface irregularities on a veneer surface. A grade is then assigned to the veneer based, at least in part, on the detected irregularities. In one embodiment, the veneer is then provided to an improved veneer stacking system that produces more consistently graded veneer stacks and safer veneer stacks, is less expensive to operate, and is far safer than currently available methods and systems for full veneer sheet, veneer strip, and partial veneer sheet stacking. | 2021-10-14 |
