Bag Destacking via Mark Detection Sensors

The patent replaces expensive, complex image recognition software with simple, inexpensive optical sensors (such as laser sensors or cameras) that detect marked positions on bags. These sensors provide sufficient measurement precision for bag location and orientation without requiring complex image processing algorithms, thereby reducing device complexity and cost while maintaining adequate detection accuracy.

The patent substitutes the mechanical/optical sensor system with marked physical references against simple detection sensors, replacing the need for complex computational image recognition. The marked positions on bags serve as physical reference points that can be detected by straightforward optical measurement, eliminating the need for sophisticated software-based image analysis.

The patent applies marks to bag positions and orientations in advance during the stacking process. These pre-applied marks serve as ready-made reference points that can be quickly detected by optical sensors, eliminating the need for time-consuming real-time image analysis. The preliminary placement of visual references enables fast, straightforward detection that maintains precision without sacrificing productivity.

The patent uses simple, inexpensive optical sensors instead of complex image recognition software, enabling rapid detection of bag positions and orientations. The detection process becomes a simple matter of reading marked positions rather than performing complex image analysis, significantly reducing processing time and increasing bag unstacking rate while maintaining adequate measurement precision.
