Application: Meter display identification system and identification method (Patent ID: US20230342541A1)
The patent filed by Shimadzu Corp. describes a meter display identification system and method that can identify type information of a meter by analyzing a figure identification code displayed on the meter panel. The system includes modules for image acquisition, meter type identification, text detection, and text identification. By simplifying the complexity of identifying the display area of target data, the system aims to improve efficiency and accuracy in identifying the target data.
The system utilizes image acquisition to collect information from the meter panel, including the figure identification code and target data display areas. The meter type identification module identifies the figure identification code, while the text detection module determines the display area of the target data based on the type information. Subsequently, the text identification module performs text identification on the target data. Additionally, the system can be integrated with smart wearable devices or mobile devices, and includes features such as a database for storing meter information, a direction adjustment module, and a data output module for displaying identified text. The identification result includes both the text identification result and its corresponding reliability, with the figure identification code often being a QR code located near the meter panel.
