Abstract

 This thesis deals with the topic of using deep learning to count crates in images. I have designed a crate-counting solution for blocks of matchboxes, using a fully convolutional classification-based network with a high resolution output. The original project proposition counted on using a dataset of photos of crates from a beer brewery warehouse. I did not get access to the dataset in the end. On the recommendation of my supervisor, I based the crate-counting solution on a custom dataset of matchbox photos.The CNN is trained using image patches, leading to a fast solution working even on smaller datasets. Matchbox keypoints are detected by the CNN in the input images and they are processed by a keypoint estimation and crate-counting algorithm to produce the final crate count. On validation data, the solution has a 12.5% failure rate and a MAE of 11.14. Thorough experimentation was performed to evaluate the solution and the results verify that this approach can be used for object counting.
