Leveraging and Refining Image Recognition Technology for Intelligent Logistics Sorting Systems

Abstract

Obstacles in the realm of target detection, tracking accuracy, real-time performance, and robustness have been identified within the context of intelligent logistics sorting systems, which incorporate image recognition technology. Furthermore, the critical role of detecting anomalous states in augmenting sorting efficiency and curtailing errors is underscored. Image recognition technologies of a conventional nature tend to suffer from limitations in their applicability and robustness. In practical working environments, a paucity of abnormal data from logistics sorting targets is observed, which inhibits the application of supervised learning methods of deep learning. Addressing these challenges, an unsupervised deep learning method is introduced for the detection of anomalous states in logistics sorting targets. This approach reinterprets the detection of logistics sorting targets as an anomaly detection problem and utilizes Variational AutoEncoders (VAE) for modeling the distribution of normal data. This method's dependency rests exclusively on normal data for training, thereby circumventing the need for a substantial quantity of abnormal samples. In practical deployments, the anomalous state of logistics sorting targets is discerned by the method through the computation of similarity and implementation of labeling algorithms, evidencing robustness, generalizability, and adaptability. Overall, this method is presented as an effective solution for the detection of anomalous states within intelligent logistics sorting scenarios, serving to decrease labeling costs, enhance detection accuracy and efficiency, and satisfying the practical requisites of logistics sorting systems for abnormal state detection.
