Conference Paper
Full-text available
Inspired by the success of Simulated Annealing in physics, we transfer insights and adaptations to the scheduling domain, specifically addressing the one-stage job scheduling problem with an arbitrary number of parallel machines. In optimization, challenges arise from local optima, plateaus in the loss surface, and computationally complex Hamiltoni...

Indoor positioning enables mobile machines to perform tasks (semi-)automatically, such as following an operator. However, the usefulness and safety of these applications depends on the reliability of the estimated operator localization. Thus, quantifying the accuracy of positioning at runtime is critical for the application in real-world industrial...

Die Motivation, sich mit bildbasierter Zustandserfassung in der Logistik zu befassen, ergibt sich aus den Eigenschaften moderner Logistiksysteme. Es ergeben sich neue Anforderungen an die Steuerung der logistischen Prozesse. Der Einsatz von Bildverarbeitungssystemen stellt eine technologische Option dar, logistische Zustandsgrößen zu erfassen und e...

Forklift trucks are regarded as the most universal means of transport in intralogistics and are therefore used for very different tasks. And although they are used in a wide variety of applications, most forklift trucks are operated without additional assistance systems. As a result, the operation of the forklift and thus the handling of the goods...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
In this paper, we examine the role of intelligence of logistics solutions that are built by image processing components. Based on studies of the research field of intelligence and observations on how the term intelligence is used in practice, we derive an understanding of what intelligence encompasses in the context of image processing for logistic...
Conference Paper
A forklift is a piece of common equipment used to move, lift and transload goods and materials in warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities. Handling errors by the forklift driver, insufficient safety awareness, improper workplace design or a combination of these factors can cause injuries or fatal accidents. Sensor-based assist...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Highly efficient transport and storage are key aspects of logistics, and the increasing pace of digitalization means that more and more options are being used to address these challenges. One important aspect of this is depth sensors for precise state detection. They allow a more closely meshed monitoring of logistics operands. However, the depth s...

Presentation of the paper "Towards Virtual Commissioning of Image-Based Information Systems for State Detection in Logistics". Abstract: Real-time state detection in logistics supports efficient control and monitoring of logistics processes. State detection is performed via sensor-based technologies that are attached to logistics objects or to elem...
Article
The recognition of logistics objects is an essential prerequisite for the optimization of operational logistics processes and can be performed among others via image-based methods. However, the lack of available data for training domain-specific recognition models remains a practical problem. For this reason, we present an approach to solving this...

Article
Real-time state detection in logistics supports efficient control and monitoring of logistics processes. State detection is performed via sensor-based technologies that are attached to logistics objects or to elements of the logistics system. Besides other technologies, image-based sensor systems have already proven their potential to fulfill this...

How is the research field image processing related to the application field logistics? In this presentation it is discussed whether and how this connection is made via the concept of "intelligence". Furthermore, a taxonomy of image processing is presented, which was developed based on a literature survey.
Preprint
Full-text available
In this article, applications and trends of image processing in logistics will be presented. The term image processing refers to the entirety of systems that capture images and operations that are applied to images and either produce enhanced images or extract data from the images. The information captured by image processing is used to control or...

Conference Paper
Full-text available
In this paper we present a system that monitors cargo compartments in transport vehicles in near real-time using RGB-D sensors (Asus Xtion Pro Live, Microsoft Kinect). The main component of this sensor system is a 3D analysis module that determines relevant logistical parameters of cargo compartment conditions such as free load meters, free cargo s...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Increased transparency of material and product flows in warehouses will necessitate real-time determination of the properties of logistical units (e.g. small bins, parcels, palletized goods, intermodal containers). The key properties of logistical units are their unique identifiers and locations at a given time. Other properties such as dimensions,...

Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird ein System zur prozessintegrierten Volumener-fassung logistischer Palettenstrukturen (palettierte Ladeeinheiten) auf Basis neuartiger Low-Cost-Tiefenbildsensoren mit integrierter Farbkamera vorge-stellt. Das System zeichnet sich durch geringe Stillstandszeiten der Trans-portmittel an den Messstationen (<3s), eine hohe M...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
In this paper we present an approach for optical vehicle positioning (e.g. fork lifters). Our approach is motivated by planar marker detection systems like ARTag or ARToolkit, in which poses of planar markers relative to the camera can be determined. In contrast to existing optical positioning systems(e.g. SkyTrax), we mount cameras on the ceiling...

Currently, large areas are continuously monitored by camera networks, whereas an overall situation assessment within a reasonable time is a crucial requirement. In this paper, we propose our Virtual Top View (VTV) approach that provides a clear, concise and direct interpretation of on-field activities in real-time preserving the spatial relationshi...

This paper describes various technical solutions related to image IP video surveillance systems in public spaces. Standard image processing procedures can compress event data, in this case people movements, and automatically capture it for aggregated processing in control center components for normal and emergency situations. Data from video sensor...

Situations in which the civil supply of goods is threatened or affected by attacks, natural catastrophes, major accidents or criminal activities are in-creasing. Furthermore the unique identification of goods as well as the traceability up to the manufacturer gain in importance. Currently, the question is how to get more security in the flow of com...
