Description


Every day we receive ~700 pallets and each pallet have at least one paper flag nailed to the frame of the pallet. Currently we remove these papers manually by hand.
We want you to validate and find a suitable system to be able to detect and identify papers on wooden pallet frames. The assignment is finding a suitable software and camera system that can autonomously detect and identify specific labels in different sizes ranging from A7 to A4.
In the long run we aim to find a solution that can autonomously identify the papers with vision cameras and give coordinates to remove them with a robot.


Suitable Background: Mechanical engineering, Data Science, Electronics
Thesis Level: Bachelor/Master
Language: Swedish or English
Starting Date: 2024
Number of Students: 2
