Scan & Count

PREVIEW. Track how many distinct packages a sweep has seen by deduplicating repeated video frames for the same label, and surface the count as a receiving aid. Physical quantity counting is not a supported mode.

Operational friction

Operators want a running sense of how many packages a sweep has covered.

During a bulk sweep, the same label can appear across many video frames. Without deduplication, the frame count is mistaken for how many packages were received, which inflates inventory and hides missed items.

Operator journey

A clear path from capture to trusted output

  1. 1

    Sweep

    Run a live camera sweep across the shipment. Frames are processed as they arrive.

  2. 2

    Deduplicate frames

    Repeated frames showing the same decoded symbol on the same package are collapsed so one package is not counted many times from one angle.

  3. 3

    Review the distinct-package count

    The surface shows how many distinct labels have been observed, as an aid for the operator to confirm coverage. The operator confirms the receipt.

Operator journey for Scan & Count: Video-frame deduplicationStep 1 (Sweep): Run a live camera sweep across the shipment. Frames are processed as they arrive. Step 2 (Deduplicate frames): Repeated frames showing the same decoded symbol on the same package are collapsed so one package is not counted many times from one angle. Step 3 (Review the distinct-package count): The surface shows how many distinct labels have been observed, as an aid for the operator to confirm coverage. The operator confirms the receipt. Repeated frames of the same label collapse into one observation within the sweep.

Video-frame deduplication, in 3 steps. Repeated frames of the same label collapse into one observation within the sweep. The numbered list above this diagram carries the full step detail.

Inside the scan

Video-frame deduplication

The core suppresses duplicate frames for the same decoded symbol within a scan session. This is frame-level deduplication of captured imagery, not a physical count of packages on a pallet.

What moves forward

Workflow outputs

  • Distinct observed labels within the sweep
  • Suppressed duplicate frames for each label
  • Operator-facing distinct-package indicator (receiving aid)

What stays visible

Operating boundaries

  • Video-frame deduplication is not physical quantity. A single package seen from several angles, or several identical packages each seen once, are not the same as a counted quantity. The distinct-label indicator is a receiving aid, not an inventory quantity.
  • Vision Scan does not claim a supported mode that tallies a physical package count from imagery. Quantity of received items is confirmed by the operator and the receiving workflow, not inferred by the core.
  • Designed for visible, sufficiently resolved labels.
