Proof of Concept Development

Using the MaskRCNN architecture and Detectron2 AI model, we identified baggage boundaries and calculated sizes relative to a standard reference sticker.
To enhance accuracy, we adjusted for the angle distortion in photos, reducing the error by 5%, achieving a level of precision that meets operational requirements.

“In the PoC phase, we aimed to accurately measure passenger Baggage size from photos with a maximum error of 10%.”

Andrew Laminski, CTO at Gilzor.

UI/UX Design

The idea of the startup was to build an Android application for cabin crew and a web admin panel for airline operators.

The mobile application

is designed to provide users with limited information and functions that can be used during boarding.

The web application design

is adapted to all commonly used browsers and screen resolutions. Web design contains a lot of data, tables and spreadsheets that have been designed in such a way that they can be easily compiled and modified when necessary.

The Mobile app functionality

Display additional services calculation

The mobile app provides calculations of extra fees to avoid human errors & financial losses.

MAKE A PHOTO of Baggage

with the help of users’ phone cameras.

Display baggage information

As a photo of baggage is done, the mobile app shows whether the baggage is within limits or overweight.

Backend development

The backend of the app is responsible for processing the image recognition data, calculating baggage weight, and managing the admin functionalities.

Users role system

is designed with granular access and effectively limits access to system resources.

Determining Baggage size

from a photo using OCR AI technologies and an acceptable accuracy of less than 10%.

Calculation of additional services

for passengers and displaying calculation results to airport employees.

Integrated AWS CloudWatch

monitors system metrics to resolve potential errors within minutes.

Payment processing system

uses third-party services, processes user requests and notifies in case of errors.
