Projection indicator, cargo assortment system, and projection indicating method
There is provided a projection indicator which specifies a position of a parcel based on an image including the parcel, the indicator including: a processor; and a memory, in which by cooperating with the memory, the processor determines whether or not each of pixels in the image is a pixel included in a processing target space in which the parcel is to be present based on coordinates of each of the pixels, regards only the pixel included in the processing target space as a processing point to be processed and registers the processing point in the memory, and obtains the image of the parcel based on the registered processing point to specify the position of the parcel.
1. A projection indicator comprising:
a processor; and
a memory,
wherein the processor in cooperation with instructions stored in the memory,
specifies at least one position of at least one parcel based on a point group in a processing target space, each point of the point group corresponding to a point of three dimensional coordinates obtained from sensing information of the processing target space,
instructs projecting an image to a parcel whose specified position is inside a specific space, and,
does not instruct projecting the image to a parcel whose specified position is outside the specific space, the specific space being a space smaller than the processing target space.
2. The projection indicator of claim 1 ,
wherein the processing target space is a space partitioned by a range from a transport conveyor transporting the parcel to a predetermined height.
3. The projection indicator of claim 2 ,
wherein the processing target space is a space partitioned by a range of a width of the transport conveyor.
4. The projection indicator of claim 2 ,
wherein the processing target space is a space partitioned by a range of a predetermined length of the transport conveyor in a transport direction.
5. The projection indicator of claim 1 ,
wherein the image includes information indicating a distance from an imaging position.
6. The projection indicator of claim 1 ,
wherein the processor generates a projection image to be projected on the parcel.
7. A cargo assortment system comprising:
the projection indicator of claim 6 ;
a label reader which reads parcel identification information from a label attached to a parcel;
an image sensor which obtains an image; and
an image output device which projects a projection image on the parcel.
8. A projection indicating method comprising:
causing a processor to cooperate with instructions stored in a memory
specifying at least one position of at least one parcel based on a point group in a processing target space, each point of the point group corresponding to a point of three dimensional coordinates obtained from sensing information of the processing target space,
instructing projecting an image to a parcel whose specified position is inside a specific space, and,
not instructing projecting the image to a parcel whose specified position is outside the specific space, the specific space being a space smaller than the processing target space.
9. The projection indicating method of claim 8 ,
wherein the processing target space is a space partitioned by a range from a transport conveyor transporting the parcel to a predetermined height.
10. The projection indicating method of claim 9 ,
wherein the processing target space is a space partitioned by a range of a width of the transport conveyor.
11. The projection indicating method of claim 9 ,
wherein the processing target space is a space partitioned by a range of a predetermined length of the transport conveyor in a transport direction.
12. The projection indicating method of claim 8 ,
wherein the image includes information indicating a distance from an imaging position.
13. The projection indicating method of claim 8 ,
generating, by the processor, a projection image to be projected on the parcel.
14. A cargo assortment method comprising:
the projection indicating method of claim 13 ;
reading parcel identification information from a label attached to a parcel;
obtaining an image; and
projecting a projection image on the parcel.
