Zusammenfassung:A method of operating a washing machine appliance may include obtaining one or more images of an external basket spaced apart from the washing machine appliance from a camera assembly and analyzing an obtained image of the one or more images using an image recognition process to estimate a fill level of a load of clothes within the external basket. The method may further include matching the estimated fill level to an estimated load size and directing a wash cycle within the washing machine appliance based on the estimated load size.
