Multi-object tracking and reject-window association with an encoder
Each carton track links to encoder position and its verdict record. Valid association prepares a routing command; a lost track holds the command and requests identity verification. Vision, identity and command states are animated as an illustrative simulation.

Need
Cartons move between the camera and reject station. Associating an image verdict with a neighbouring carton rejects the wrong item, so a lost track must remain separate.
Solution approach
Encoder position, visual identity and reject windows are associated; a lost track never receives an unchecked outlet command.
Process steps
- 01
Frame
Items arrive and the initial frame and item context are established. Vision results are illustrative.
- 02
Track
Each visible item receives a separate track contour; the first contour is the annotated track component.
- 03
Associate
Encoder position, visual identity and reject windows are associated; a lost track never receives an unchecked outlet command.
- 04
Validate target
The track is checked against its event record and uncertain association enters HOLD. No physical command has been applied in this phase.
- 05
Allowed command and record
Only a validated item receives a routing command; the other cycle has no command and keeps the association under review.
