1. A system for profiling a pallet, the system comprising:
a turntable configured to rotate a pallet;
a light source positioned adjacent the turntable that is configured to illuminate the pallet as the pallet rotates on the turntable;
a camera positioned relative to the light source that is configured to capture images of the pallet as the pallet rotates on the turntable; and
a photo booth that encloses an area that includes the turntable, the light source, and the camera, wherein the photo booth includes sides and a top to reduce an amount of ambient light that enters the enclosed area,
wherein the camera is configured to transmit the images of the pallet to a computing system that detects damage associated with the pallet based on processing the images of the pallet.
