Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of aerospace technology, and more specifically relates to a baggage remote visual code complement system and method.

Background technique

With the rapid development of civil aviation transportation in recent years, domestic large and medium-sized airports are actively introducing automatic baggage handling systems to ensure efficient and stable operations. The key function of the automatic baggage handling system is the automatic sorting of baggage, and the accurate identification and tracking of baggage tags have become the basis for the smooth implementation of the above functions.

At present, the civil aviation baggage handling system obtains baggage barcode information through laser or radio frequency to automatically sort baggage. Usually, baggage barcodes are easily squeezed and worn during transportation, resulting in the inability to recognize the barcodes. The system needs to send the baggage with unrecognized barcodes to a special sorting port for manual processing, and the on-site personnel will perform the code supplement operation. When there are a lot of problem baggage during peak hours, the on-site processing efficiency is low, and baggage is prone to be stranded.

Therefore, how to provide a baggage remote visual code complementation system and method with high code complementation efficiency has become a problem that technical personnel in this field need to solve urgently.

When receiving the acquisition request, the image acquisition module 200 will create a new thread to process the data reception and storage of the connection; after the thread is newly created, its execution function starts running and continuously receives image data, and parses the data according to the data communication protocol. If it is judged that the data is normal and the verification is correct, the image data can be extracted and saved to the local image server.

The visual recognition module 300 is connected to the allocation decision module 500 and the remote code supplement module 400 respectively. Each piece of luggage 800 is provided with barcode information. If the visual recognition module 300 can recognize the barcode information, the barcode information is transmitted to the allocation decision module 500 for sorting according to the preset sorting rules; if the barcode information cannot be recognized, the image information collected by the image acquisition module is transmitted to the remote code supplement module 400 for manual identification. The visual recognition module 300 displays the image of the luggage 800 on the operation terminal in front of the code supplement operator's seat, and the code supplement operator reads the correct barcode information, reallocates the corresponding barcode information or destination information, and supplements and enters it into the sorting decision module. Then the function control module 100 transports the baggage 800 with completed code supplement to the sorting equipment to ensure that the sorting of the luggage 800 is carried out smoothly.

The remote code complement module 400 is connected to the allocation decision module 500, reallocates the corresponding barcode information or destination information, and inputs it into the allocation decision module 500. The remote code complement module 400 can be configured with multiple host computers, sort and distribute the images of the baggage 800 that need code complement to different host computers, and multiple code complement operators process them, so as to improve the efficiency of code complement.
