The document proposes a system called BORAMBA that uses Bluetooth cameras to automatically recognize and annotate objects as they are packed into moving boxes. This would help alleviate some of the stress of moving day by making it easier to locate specific objects later. Currently, objects are often mixed between boxes without tracking, making relocation difficult. BORAMBA would shift this process from manual to automatic by identifying objects and linking them to individual box IDs. This would generate an annotated listing of all objects organized by room to facilitate finding items later. The solution is viable now due to advances in object recognition algorithms and availability of inexpensive cameras.

The Need
財Describe the need.
The moving day is irreparably stressful. Everything need to be
packed in a constrained time and in proper way and finally
questions arise the day of the move-in.
Usually:
рSeveral box for the same room, hall
рMixing objects of different rooms for packing optimization
рLast boxes result in an heterogeneous mixture.
So:
р
財Who has this need?
Everybody! Its hard to survive to a removal. Each one of us has
been experiencing the Mountain Boxes Exploration. Trying to
find/localize in which box is a specific object.
財Is it an EU problem?
We can live without! But we can improve life comfort and the
removal experience with it! Horizon 2020

The Solution
財What solution do you propose?
A system based Bluetooth camera for automatic objects
recognition & annotation, associated to a moving box ID.
財What advantage does your solution offer
compare to the state of the art?
рShift from Manual to Automatic annotation process
рFacilitate the localization of a specific object (box ID)
рAn objects listing with the corresponding image thumbnails
of the full removal, ordered by room, hall..
рAn visual help for conflict resolution, such as broken
objects or deteriorations during the removal, traceability..
р
財Why now?
рAlgorithms for object recognition & annotation are much
more mature
рComfortable annotated objects databases
рLow cost camera

рC.R.I.C
財How are you going to make a profit?
рSelling the system Camera + database + recognition + annotation + listing + thumbnails
рPunctual update of the database annotated objects enrichment
рSelling optional functionality:
oHelp for objects packing orientation, position,
oFrom a set of N objects, select the M objects that provide the best packing arrangement
for a moving box of size (X,Y,Z)
