Abstract
A computer-implemented method for detecting a presence of an object-of-interest in a system is provided. The method includes imaging the first object-of-interest including an identifier, wherein the imaging generates a first set of image data and determining the portion of the image data including the identifier based on a predetermined location. The method further includes dividing the portion of the image data including the identifier into at least two segments Next, the presence of the object-of-interest is determined by determining if intensity values within each segment exceed a presence threshold.
