Background

Efficiently managing storage facilities requires a reliable and streamlined move-out process. Verifying whether a customer has emptied and cleaned their storage unit is crucial to maintaining the facility's operational efficiency and upholding leasing agreements. Manual validation methods are resource-intensive and may lead to discrepancies between staff members' assessments. The goal of this project is to introduce an automated approach that capitalizes on modern smartphone capabilities to enhance the move-out validation process.

Task

This thesis project will focus on exploring technologies for automating tasks in the move-out flow from a storage unit. Your solution should be capable of processing one or more pictures, videos, or other mobile app inputs to determine if a customer has left their storage unit in a sufficiently good state as part of their move-out process. This means that your implementation should be able to determine if a storage unit is empty, clean, and ready to be used by someone else.

The implementation and analysis can either be done on-device, running the verification on the customer's phone, or in the cloud, running the analysis in a separate application. Part of the project will also consist of setting up a workbench for stable analysis of the implementation to analyze efficiency and accuracy. Depending on the methodology explored to solve the issue, you will also need to gather a dataset consisting of images, videos, or other input data for validated storage units that have been verified as empty and clean, as well as for invalid units and irrelevant data.
