Abstract
Techniques for automated quality control of containers and items are disclosed. Images of a container can be successively captured over time. A consolidated image can be generated from the captured images. A non-image representation of the consolidated image can be determined. The non-image representation can be used to determine whether the container satisfies a condition. An imaging system can include a visual reference object or an object sensor used to detect entry of the container into a view volume of an electronic camera. A motion system can transport the container into the view volume. Some examples operate in an automated-warehouse environment.
