Task

Three bins are shown beneath the camera: one that is still rather full, one completely empty and the last one is almost empty. Your task is to create a detection strategy that detects if a bin is (almost) empty.

Given: Region of Interest settings for each box.

• Bin 1: X 10 - 160mm, Y -10 - 260 mm, Z 5 - 140 mm.

• Bin 2: X 220 - 370mm, Y -10 - 260mm, Z 5 - 140mm.

• Bin 3: X 420 - 570mm, Y -10 - 260mm, Z 5 - 140mm.

Hint: No object detection could indicate an empty bin.
