A BOTTLE ANALYSIS SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18033590 titled 'A BOTTLE ANALYSIS SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

Abstract: A bottle analysis system uses image data to analyze bottles, identifying their shape and any markings. It then determines the type of bottle and uses image analysis to measure the liquid level and volume.

Patent/Innovation:

  • Bottle analysis system that analyzes image data of bottles.
  • Identifies the shape of the bottle and any identifying markings.
  • Determines the type of bottle based on the analysis.
  • Uses image analysis to measure the liquid level in the bottle.
  • Calculates the liquid volume in the bottle based on the measured level.

Potential Applications:

  • Beverage industry: Can be used to automate quality control processes by analyzing bottle shapes and markings.
  • Inventory management: Helps in accurately measuring liquid volumes in bottles, aiding in inventory tracking and management.
  • Research and development: Provides a tool for analyzing different bottle types and their liquid volumes for experimentation and analysis purposes.

Problems Solved:

  • Manual bottle analysis: Eliminates the need for manual inspection and measurement of bottle shapes, markings, liquid levels, and volumes.
  • Inaccurate liquid volume measurement: Provides a more precise and automated method for determining the liquid volume in bottles.
  • Time-consuming processes: Speeds up the analysis and measurement process, reducing the time and effort required for bottle analysis.

Benefits:

  • Efficiency: Automates the bottle analysis process, saving time and effort.
  • Accuracy: Provides precise measurements of bottle shapes, markings, liquid levels, and volumes.
  • Cost-effective: Reduces the need for manual labor and potential errors in bottle analysis.
  • Improved inventory management: Enables accurate tracking and management of liquid volumes in bottles.


Original Abstract Submitted

A bottle analysis system receives image data of a bottle to be analyzed, and the data is processed to identify a shape of the bottle, and optionally any identifying markings. A bottle type is then determined. Image analysis is used to determine a liquid level in the bottle and thereby determine a liquid volume in the bottle.
