Systems and methods for machine vision robotic processing

Abstract

Systems, methods, and media for machine vision-guided robotic loading are provided. Such systems and methods can allow for more accurate object detection so as to allow for robotic picking or loading of an object from a pile or group of objects. In some embodiments, a camera is controlled to capture a background image of the object or group of objects. One or more illumination sources (such as, e.g., laser illuminators) are controlled to project immunization toward the object or group of objects within the field-of-view of the camera. The camera may be controlled to capture a scan image comprising the projected illumination. Based on the scan image, a depth map can be determined, which is provided to a machine learning model along with the background image. The output of the machine learning model can then provide information associated with one or more objects, such as location information, orientation information, and the like.
