摘要： A washing machine appliance includes a wash basket that is rotatably mounted within a wash tub and that defines a wash chamber for receiving a load of clothes. A camera assembly is used to monitor articles for washing within the wash basket. Specifically, a controller of the washing machine appliance uses the camera assembly to obtain a reference image and one or more test images, which utilize image recognition to assess turn-over of the articles for washing during a given wash cycle. When turn-over performance is inadequate, a controller may adjust one or more operating parameters of the wash cycle to improve performance. Turn-over performance of the wash cycle is determined to be adequate once the image recognition process fails to find adequate correlation between the reference image and the test image a predetermined number of times.

摘要： Disclosed is a washing machine. The washing machine includes an image capturer, a storage, and a controller. When the washing machine is in a standby state, if photographed data is identified to be registered user data, the controller recognizes a photographed user as a registered user and performs control such that a door is opened. If the photographed data is identified to be child data, the controller performs control such that, when the door is in an open state, the door is not closed and such that, when the door is in a closed state, the door is not opened.
