Self-service Scales
Posted on Aug 17, 08 10:29 PM PDT
A bunch of German researchers have managed to develop new self-service scales which are smart enough to recognize the type of fruit or vegetable placed on them automatically, thanks to a camera and the smartly written image evaluation algorithm that will draw up a solution from its comprehensive database. I guess this is a pretty effective tool as well if you want the kids to learn a thing or two at the supermarket as they start to recognize the different shapes of various fruits and vegetables while mom is busy weighing them. These scales are currently undergoing a testing phase in approximately 300 supermarkets across Europe. Don't expect 100% accuracy with this, so don't be alarmed if your bittergourd might be mistaken for a cucumber.
