Abstract

Example implementations relate to automated rack imaging. According to an example, a system for imaging a face of a rack includes a camera and lighting array, a positioning system, a computer system and a wheeled platform. The array includes multiple cameras located in a first plane orthogonal to a second plane and each camera has a first field of view in a first axis of the second plane. Collectively, the first fields of view extend from one end of the face to another end of the face. The positioning system is operable to move the array from a starting point to an ending point via multiple intermediate points along an axis in a third plane parallel to the first plane. The computer system (i) causes the cameras to capture images at the starting, intermediate, and ending point; (ii) stitches the captured images together; and (iii) stores the resulting image.
