Abstract
The method can include: determining image data; identifying a container using an object detector; and classifying a container state. The method can optionally include performing an action based on the container state classification. However, the method can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable elements. The method functions to detect and classify the state of bowls (i.e., complete/incomplete) to facilitate ingredient insertion into (unserved, 'incomplete') bowls along an assembly line.
