Abstract

Systems and methods for enhanced object detection are provided in this disclosure. One embodiment of a method includes providing front side illumination of an object, capturing a first image of the object, and providing backside illumination of the object. Some embodiments include capturing a second image of the object, and determining an edge of the platform area assembly. Similarly, some embodiments include aligning the object from the second image with the edge of the platform area assembly to determine a location of the object, determining based on the location of the object, a pixel in the first image that does not belong to the object, and modify the pixel from the first image that does not belong to the object to create an altered image.
