Multi-access edge computing methods and systems for computer-vision-based product compliance verification

Abstract:

An exemplary computer vision system implemented by a multi-access edge computing ("MEC") server integrated within a provider network accesses an image captured by an image capture device coupled with the MEC server via the provider network. The image depicts a product that is to comply with a predefined product standard. The computer vision system identifies a criterion that is associated with the predefined product standard, and a region of the image that is associated with a product condition that is to be verified for compliance with the criterion. The computer vision system determines whether the product condition complies with the identified criterion for the identified region of the image, and, based on this determination, generates compliance verification data indicative of whether the product complies with the predefined product standard. The computer vision system also provides the compliance verification data to a monitoring system separate from the MEC server.
