在步驟S101中,啟動理貨影像識別系統100。
In step S101, the tally
在步驟S103中,處理單元130判斷是否有訂單正在處理中。理貨影像識別系統100在關閉前,若有訂單尚未完成,則處理單元130判斷有訂單正在處理中。若有訂單正在處理中,流程進入步驟S105,處理單元130產生一表示「尚有訂單正在處理中」之訊號,顯示器140據以顯示「尚有訂單正在處理中」之訊息;若無訂單正在處理中,流程進入步驟S107。
In step S103, the
在步驟S107中,處理單元130開放一訂單掃碼指令T11。在本實施例中,使用者只有輸入開放的指令方能被處理單元130回應,未受到開放的指令處理單元130不予理會。
In step S107, the
在步驟S108中,攝像單元對此些標籤L1~L6攝像,以取得理貨影像M1。在理貨包裝過程中,攝像單元可持續對前方景物攝像(影像串流),影像分析單元120持續分析攝像單元所擷取之理貨影像M1。 In step S108, the camera unit takes images of these labels L1~L6 to obtain the tally image M1. During the tally packaging process, the camera unit can continue to take images of the scene in front (image stream), and the image analysis unit 120 continues to analyze the tally image M1 captured by the camera unit.
在步驟S109中,影像分析單元120分析理貨影像M1,以判斷掃碼標籤L1是否被一訂單遮蔽,訂單例如是實體訂單。訂單具 有一訂單條碼。例如,操作員可將一訂單移至掃碼標籤L1與攝像單元之間,使攝像單元所擷取之理貨影像M1出現訂單影像OD及其訂單條碼影像OD1。當訂單遮蔽掃碼標籤L1的一預設比例且超過一預設時間,則判斷掃碼標籤L1被訂單遮蔽,前述預設比例例如是1/3,而預設時間例如是2秒。若掃碼標籤L1被訂單遮蔽,流程進入步驟S111;若掃碼標籤L1未被訂單遮蔽,流程回到步驟S109。 In step S109, the image analysis unit 120 analyzes the tally image M1 to determine whether the scan label L1 is obscured by an order, such as a physical order. The order has an order barcode. For example, the operator can move an order between the scan label L1 and the camera unit so that the tally image M1 captured by the camera unit shows the order image OD and its order barcode image OD1. When the order obscures a preset ratio of the scan label L1 and exceeds a preset time, it is determined that the scan label L1 is obscured by the order, the preset ratio is, for example, 1/3, and the preset time is, for example, 2 seconds. If the scan label L1 is obscured by the order, the process enters step S111; if the scan label L1 is not obscured by the order, the process returns to step S109.
在步驟S111中,影像分析單元120分析理貨影像M1之訂單條碼影像OD1。 In step S111, the image analysis unit 120 analyzes the order barcode image OD1 of the tally image M1.
在步驟S113中,處理單元130判斷對訂單條碼影像OD1之分析是否成功。若對訂單條碼影像OD1之分析失敗(例如,掃碼失敗或理貨影像M1未出現訂單條碼影像OD1),流程進入步驟S115,處理單元130產生一提醒掃碼訊號,顯示器140可據以顯示一表示「提醒操作員當前的訂單掃碼失敗」之訊息,然後流程回到步驟S103或S108。若對訂單條碼影像OD1之分析成功,流程進入步驟S117。
In step S113, the
在步驟S117中,處理單元130依據訂單條碼影像OD1,判斷訂單是否存在。若訂單存在,流程進入步驟S121;若否,流程進入步驟S119,處理單元130產生一表示「查無此訂單」之訊號,顯示器140據以顯示表示「查無此訂單」之訊息,然後流程可回到步驟S103或S108。

In step S123, the
在步驟S127中,顯示器140顯示訂單中品項明細的數個品項個別之包裝狀態,其中包裝狀態例如是「已包裝」與「未包裝」之一者。例如,尚未放入包裝箱內之品項之包裝狀態為「未包裝」狀態,而已放入包裝箱內之品項之包裝狀態設為「已包裝」狀態。
In step S127, the
在步驟S129中,處理單元130開放取消指令T2、暫存指令T3及追箱指令T4。
In step S129, the
在步驟S131中,影像分析單元120分析理貨影像M1,判斷掃碼標籤L1是否被商品遮蔽,商品例如是實體商品。商品具有一商品條碼。例如,操作員可將一商品移至掃碼標籤L1與攝像單元之間,使攝像單元所擷取之理貨影像M1出現商品影像CO及其商品條碼影像CO1。當商品遮蔽掃碼標籤L1的一預設比例且超過一預設時間,則判斷掃碼標籤L1被訂單遮蔽,前述預設比例例如是1/3,而預設時間例如是2秒。若掃碼標籤L1未被商品遮蔽,流程進入步驟S201(第3E圖);若掃碼標籤L1被商品遮蔽,流程進入步驟S133。 In step S131, the image analysis unit 120 analyzes the tally image M1 to determine whether the barcode tag L1 is blocked by a product, such as a physical product. The product has a product barcode. For example, the operator can move a product between the barcode tag L1 and the camera unit so that the tally image M1 captured by the camera unit shows the product image CO and its product barcode image CO1. When the product blocks a preset ratio of the barcode tag L1 and exceeds a preset time, it is determined that the barcode tag L1 is blocked by the order. The preset ratio is, for example, 1/3, and the preset time is, for example, 2 seconds. If the barcode tag L1 is not blocked by the product, the process enters step S201 (Figure 3E); if the barcode tag L1 is blocked by the product, the process enters step S133.
在步驟S133中,影像分析單元120分析理貨影像M1之商品條碼影像CO1。 In step S133, the image analysis unit 120 analyzes the product barcode image CO1 of the inventory image M1.
在步驟S135中,處理單元130判斷對商品條碼影像CO1之分析是否成功。若對商品條碼影像CO1之分析失敗,流程進入步驟S137,處理單元130產生一提醒掃碼訊號,顯示器140據以顯示
一表示「提醒操作員當前的商品掃碼失敗」之提醒訊息,然後流程回到步驟S131。若對商品條碼影像CO1之分析成功,流程進入步驟S139。
In step S135, the
在步驟S139中,處理單元130判斷商品條碼影像CO1,判斷商品是否符合品項明細。若商品不符合品項明細,流程進入步驟S141,處理單元130產生一表示「非包裝商品」之訊號,顯示器140據以顯示一表示「非包裝商品」之訊息,然後流程可回到步驟S131。若商品符合品項明細,表示所撿取之商品(要放入包裝箱內)是正確商品,流程進入步驟S143(第3C圖)。
In step S139, the
在步驟S143中,處理單元130更新訂單之品項明細中剛被包裝之品項之包裝狀態。例如,將剛剛所撿取且已放入包裝箱之商品之包裝狀態從「未包裝」變更成「已包裝」。
In step S143, the
在步驟S145中,處理單元130判斷訂單之品項明細中所有品項是否都已包裝。若訂單之品項明細中所有品項都已包裝,流程進入步驟S147;若訂單之品項明細中所有品項未全數包裝,流程回到步驟S131,繼續下一個尚未放入(尚未檢貨)包裝箱之商品。
In step S145, the
在步驟S147中,處理單元130開放一封箱指令T5。
In step S147, the
在步驟S149中,影像分析單元120分析理貨影像M1,以判斷封箱標籤L5是否被遮蔽,例如,被任一物體遮蔽,如操作員的手掌或包裝箱等。當封箱標籤L5被遮蔽的部份超過一預設比例且超過一預設時間,則判斷封箱標籤L5被遮蔽,前述預設比例例如是1/3,而預設時間例如是2秒。若封箱標籤L5沒有被遮蔽,流程進入步驟
S151,處理單元130產生一表示「等待封箱指令」之訊號,顯示器140據以顯示一表示「等待封箱指令」之訊息,然後流程回到步驟S149。若封箱標籤L5被遮蔽,流程進入步驟S153。
In step S149, the image analysis unit 120 analyzes the tally image M1 to determine whether the sealing label L5 is blocked, for example, blocked by any object, such as the operator's palm or a packaging box. When the blocked portion of the sealing label L5 exceeds a preset ratio and exceeds a preset time, it is determined that the sealing label L5 is blocked. The preset ratio is, for example, 1/3, and the preset time is, for example, 2 seconds. If the sealing label L5 is not blocked, the process enters step

在步驟S153中,影像分析單元120分析理貨影像M1,以判斷其它標籤是否被遮蔽,例如,被任一物體遮蔽,如操作員的手掌等。當其它標籤被遮蔽的部份超過一預設比例且超過一預設時間,則判斷其它標籤被遮蔽,前述預設比例例如是1/3,而預設時間例如是2秒。若其它標籤被遮蔽,流程進入步驟S151。若其它標籤沒有被遮蔽,流程進入步驟S155。換言之,只有封箱標籤L5單獨被遮蔽,才能產生有效的封箱指令T5。 In step S153, the image analysis unit 120 analyzes the tally image M1 to determine whether other labels are blocked, for example, blocked by any object, such as the operator's palm. When the blocked portion of other labels exceeds a preset ratio and exceeds a preset time, it is determined that other labels are blocked. The preset ratio is, for example, 1/3, and the preset time is, for example, 2 seconds. If other labels are blocked, the process enters step S151. If other labels are not blocked, the process enters step S155. In other words, only when the sealing label L5 is blocked alone can a valid sealing instruction T5 be generated.

在步驟S159(第3D圖)中,影像分析單元120分析理貨影像M1,以判斷完成標籤L6是否被遮蔽,例如,被任一物體遮蔽,如包裝箱等。當完成標籤L6被遮蔽的部份超過一預設比例且超過一預設時間,則判斷完成標籤L6被遮蔽,前述預設比例例如是1/3,而預設時間例如是2秒。若完成標籤L6未被遮蔽,流程進入步驟S161,處理單元130產生一表示「等待封箱指令」之訊號,顯示器140據以顯示一表示「等待封箱指令」之訊息,然後流程回到步驟S159。若完成標籤L6被遮蔽,流程進入步驟S163。
In step S159 (Figure 3D), the image analysis unit 120 analyzes the tally image M1 to determine whether the completion label L6 is blocked, for example, blocked by any object, such as a packaging box. When the blocked portion of the completion label L6 exceeds a preset ratio and exceeds a preset time, it is determined that the completion label L6 is blocked. The preset ratio is, for example, 1/3, and the preset time is, for example, 2 seconds. If the completion label L6 is not blocked, the process enters step S161, the
在步驟S163中,影像分析單元120分析理貨影像M1, 以判斷其它標籤是否被遮蔽,例如,被任一物體遮蔽,如操作員的手掌等。當其它標籤被遮蔽的部份超過一預設比例且超過一預設時間,則判斷其它標籤被遮蔽,前述預設比例例如是1/3,而預設時間例如是2秒。若其它標籤被遮蔽,流程進入步驟S161。若其它標籤沒有被遮蔽,流程進入步驟S163。換言之,只有完成標籤L6單獨被遮蔽,才能產生有效的完成指令T6。 In step S163, the image analysis unit 120 analyzes the tally image M1 to determine whether other labels are blocked, for example, blocked by any object, such as the operator's palm. When the blocked portion of other labels exceeds a preset ratio and exceeds a preset time, it is determined that other labels are blocked. The preset ratio is, for example, 1/3, and the preset time is, for example, 2 seconds. If other labels are blocked, the process enters step S161. If other labels are not blocked, the process enters step S163. In other words, only when the completion label L6 is blocked alone can a valid completion instruction T6 be generated.
在步驟S165中,攝像單元停止擷取理貨影像M1。 In step S165, the camera unit stops capturing the tally image M1.

In step S173, the
第3B圖之步驟S131的「否」結果後,流程進入步驟S201。如第3E圖所示,在步驟S201中,影像分析單元120分析理貨影像M1,以判斷是否二個以上之標籤被遮蔽,例如,被任一物體遮蔽,如操作員的手掌等。當標籤被遮蔽的部份超過一預設比例且超過一預
設時間,則判斷標籤被遮蔽,前述預設比例例如是1/3,而預設時間例如是2秒。若二個以上之標籤被遮蔽,流程進入步驟S203,處理單元130產生一表示「等待封箱指令」之訊號,顯示器140據以顯示一表示「等待封箱指令」之訊息,然後流程回到步驟S201。若沒有二個以上之標籤被遮蔽,流程進入步驟S205。
After the "No" result of step S131 in FIG. 3B, the process enters step S201. As shown in FIG. 3E, in step S201, the image analysis unit 120 analyzes the tally image M1 to determine whether two or more labels are blocked, for example, blocked by any object, such as the operator's palm. When the blocked portion of the label exceeds a preset ratio and exceeds a preset time, it is determined that the label is blocked. The preset ratio is, for example, 1/3, and the preset time is, for example, 2 seconds. If more than two labels are blocked, the process enters step S203, the
在步驟S205中,影像分析單元120分析理貨影像M1,以判斷追箱標籤L4是否被遮蔽,例如,被任一物體遮蔽,如操作員的手掌等。當追箱標籤L4被遮蔽的部份超過一預設比例且超過一預設時間,則判斷追箱標籤L4被遮蔽,前述預設比例例如是1/3,而預設時間例如是2秒。若追箱標籤L4未被遮蔽,流程進入步驟S207(第3F圖)。若追箱標籤L4被遮蔽,流程進入步驟S217。 In step S205, the image analysis unit 120 analyzes the tally image M1 to determine whether the tracking label L4 is blocked, for example, by any object, such as the operator's palm. When the blocked portion of the tracking label L4 exceeds a preset ratio and exceeds a preset time, it is determined that the tracking label L4 is blocked. The preset ratio is, for example, 1/3, and the preset time is, for example, 2 seconds. If the tracking label L4 is not blocked, the process enters step S207 (Figure 3F). If the tracking label L4 is blocked, the process enters step S217.
在步驟S217中,回應追箱指令T4,處理單元130新增一面單號,且顯示器140顯示新增的面單號。
In step S217, in response to the container tracking instruction T4, the
在步驟S219中,影像分析單元120分析理貨影像M1,以判斷「追箱標籤」是否再次被遮蔽,例如,被任一物體遮蔽,如操作員的手掌等。若「追箱標籤」未再次被遮蔽,流程回到步驟S201。若「追箱標籤」再次被遮蔽,流程回到步驟S217。 In step S219, the image analysis unit 120 analyzes the tally image M1 to determine whether the "cargo tracking label" is blocked again, for example, blocked by any object, such as the operator's palm. If the "cargo tracking label" is not blocked again, the process returns to step S201. If the "cargo tracking label" is blocked again, the process returns to step S217.
在第3F圖之步驟S207中,影像分析單元120分析理貨影像M1,以判斷暫存標籤L3是否被遮蔽,例如,被任一物體遮蔽,如操作員的手掌等。若暫存標籤L3被遮蔽,流程進入步驟S213,處理單元130暫存訂單,即,暫停當前訂單的作業流程,然後流程進入步驟S215,處理單元130儲存訂單的包裝資訊,例如,儲存訂單之品

In step S207 of FIG. 3F, the image analysis unit 120 analyzes the tally image M1 to determine whether the temporary label L3 is blocked, for example, blocked by any object, such as the operator's palm. If the temporary label L3 is blocked, the process enters step S213, the
在步驟S209中,影像分析單元120分析理貨影像M1,以判斷取消標籤L2是否被遮蔽,例如,被任一物體遮蔽,如操作員的手掌等。若取消標籤L2未被遮蔽,流程回到步驟S201。若取消標籤L2被遮蔽,流程進入步驟S211,處理單元130清除訂單的包裝資訊,即,此訂單等同於作廢。
In step S209, the image analysis unit 120 analyzes the tally image M1 to determine whether the cancellation label L2 is blocked, for example, blocked by any object, such as the operator's palm. If the cancellation label L2 is not blocked, the process returns to step S201. If the cancellation label L2 is blocked, the process enters step S211, and the
在步驟S223中,由於訂單已取消或已暫存,因此顯示器140不顯示訂單資訊。
In step S223, since the order has been canceled or temporarily saved, the
在步驟S225中,處理單元130開放訂單掃描指令,然後流程回到步驟S103。

綜上,本發明一實施例之理貨影像識別系統及應用其之理貨影像識別方法,操作員可遮蔽標籤做為指令輸入,取代習知拿取多樣不同物件的繁複操作,因而能提升理貨包裝效率。在一實施例中,標籤可為一圖案,其可形成於一實體載體上,如紙張、板件等,而實體載體可配置於(例如,固定或單純放置)承載件(例如,桌子)上,或者圖案可直接形成(例如,採用噴塗或繪製等方式)形成於承載件上。此外,本文的「被遮蔽」指的是標籤被一物體(例如,操作員的手掌、包裝箱或其它具備遮蔽功能(例如,不透光)的實體物)遮蔽的部分超過整個標籤範圍(或面積)的一預設比例持續一預設時間,其中預設比例例如是1/3,而預設時間例如是2秒,然亦可更大或更小。此外,只有單獨之標籤被遮蔽方能產生有效的指令。 In summary, the cargo image recognition system and the cargo image recognition method using the same in one embodiment of the present invention can be used by operators to cover the label as a command input, replacing the complicated operation of learning to pick up a variety of different objects, thereby improving the efficiency of cargo packaging. In one embodiment, the label can be a pattern, which can be formed on a physical carrier, such as paper, board, etc., and the physical carrier can be configured (for example, fixed or simply placed) on a carrier (for example, a table), or the pattern can be directly formed (for example, by spraying or drawing) on the carrier. In addition, "being shielded" in this article means that the part of the tag that is shielded by an object (e.g., the operator's palm, a packaging box, or other physical object with shielding function (e.g., opaque)) exceeds a preset ratio of the entire tag range (or area) for a preset time, where the preset ratio is, for example, 1/3, and the preset time is, for example, 2 seconds, but it can also be larger or smaller. In addition, only when a single tag is shielded can a valid instruction be generated.
