Abstract:
The disclosure relates to weighing moving objects in a weighing platform functionally coupled to a computer-vision tracking platform. The objects can translate, rotate, and translate and rotate. Weighing of the objects can be accomplished through combination of object imaging and upstream weighing. Object imaging can permit tracking, through computer vision, a logical object moving in a trajectory from the first location to the second location, wherein a logical object is a formal representation of one or more physical objects. Upstream weighing can permit updating a record indicative of weight of the one or more physical objects associated with the tracked logical object. As a part of weighing termination, data integrity check(s) can be performed on a plurality of records indicative of a weight of a single physical object. Based on outcome of the data integrity check(s), a record indicative of the weight of the single physical object can be supplied.
