Abstract
A print device that includes an ink line and an imaging device is configured to capture images of at least a portion of the ink line. The device is also configured to classify air pockets within the ink line by: receiving one or more images from the imaging device; using an air pocket detection model to identify an air pocket within the ink line; and using a classification model to determine one or more characteristic labels for the air pocket. The print device will use the characteristic labels to take an action corresponding to the air pocket.
