Open for submissionsAI-Based Early Detection of Oversized Cabin Baggage in the Passenger Flow
Baden-Airpark, operator of Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport, is looking for a privacy-compliant camera-based or sensor-based solution that detects likely oversized or excess cabin baggage early in the passenger flow and matches it with the passenger's booked fare, so that checks can move away from the boarding gate.
