Image Processing: Algorithm Improvement for 'Coca-Cola Can' Recognition

Question

One of the most interesting projects I\'ve worked on in the past couple of years was a project about image processing. The goal was to develop a system to be able to recogni

Answer 1

Maybe too many years late, but nevertheless a theory to try.

The ratio of bounding rectangle of red logo region to the overall dimension of the bottle/can is different. In the case of Can, should be 1:1, whereas will be different in that of bottle (with or without cap). This should make it easy to distinguish between the two.

Update: The horizontal curvature of the logo region will be different between the Can and Bottle due their respective size difference. This could be specifically useful if your robot needs to pick up can/bottle, and you decide the grip accordingly.
