1. A system, comprising:
a processor configured to:
obtain a plurality of image frames showing a target object;
determine a set of velocities associated with a movement of the target object based at least in part on the plurality of image frames and time intervals between image frames, wherein the set of velocities corresponds to a set of dimensions associated with a coordinate system;
generate a trajectory associated with the target object based at least in part on the set of velocities associated with the movement of the target object;
generate a control signal for a sorting device to perform a sorting operation on the target object based at least in part on the trajectory associated with the target object; and
provide the control signal to the sorting device, wherein the sorting device is configured to execute the control signal with respect to the target object; and
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
