Pallet Detection And Localisation From Synthetic Data
The global warehousing industry is experiencing rapid growth, with the market size projected to grow at an annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2030 [Grand View Research, 2021]. This expansion has led to a surge in demand for efficient pallet detection and localisation systems. While automation can significantly streamline warehouse operations, the development of such systems often requires extensive manual data annotation, with an average of 35 seconds per image, for a typical computer vision project. This paper presents a novel approach to enhance pallet detection and localisation using purely synthetic data and geometric features derived from their side faces. By implementing a domain randomisation engine in Unity, the need for time-consuming manual annotation is eliminated while achieving high-performance results. The proposed method demonstrates a pallet detection performance of 0.995 mAP50 for single pallets on a real-world dataset. Additionally, an average position accuracy of less than 4.2 cm and an average rotation accuracy of 8.2{\deg} were achieved for pallets within a 5-meter range, with the pallet positioned head-on.
