Abstract
Disclosed is a combination of warehouse components and scanning devices configured to capture image data of a pallet from multiple angles, and specifically includes on and off conveyor belts, a rotating turntable, and a vertical pole having one or more stationary cameras. The vertical pole can be positioned a threshold distance away from the rotating turntable to permit a sufficient field of view for each camera to capture images of the pallet or can remain stationary such that the one or more cameras configured thereto capture images of the pallet from a same distance, angle, and field of view. One or more lights can be positioned inside the photo booth (or in the vertical pole) to illuminate the rotating turntable and pallet thereon, and lighting configurations and/or camera configurations can be used to achieve consistent and reliable images despite highly variable pallet conditions.
