3D Port Container Scanner
Container scanning at an Istanbul port, with work on SICK LMS511-series sensors in 2019 and Intel RealSense in 2021.
- Istanbul, Turkey — commercial port terminal
A scanning rig for containers moving through a working port terminal in Istanbul. ML models read the 3D capture to classify and verify what was inside.
Sensor work
My work on the container scanner system included two sensor platforms:
- 2019 — SICK LMS511 series: worked with LMS511-series sensors for the container scanner system.
- 2021 — Intel RealSense: worked with Intel RealSense for the container scanner system.
The results were operational rather than academic. More containers processed per hour, and fewer misreads than the manual process it replaced. Throughput is the number a port terminal cares about, and a model that’s slightly more accurate but slower is a step backwards there.
