System and method for package dimensioning

摘要

A system and method for package dimensioning is provided. The package-dimensioning system includes an image capturing subsystem for acquiring information about an object within the image-capturing subsystem's field of view. A features-computation module analyzes object information and compiles a feature set describing the object's surface features. A classification module analyzes the feature set and categorizes the object's shape. A shape-estimation module estimates the dimensions of the object.

1. A package-dimensioning system, comprising:
an imager for acquiring information about an object within the imager field of view; a features-computation module for analyzing object information acquired by the imager and compiling a feature set describing the object's surface features; a classification module for analyzing the feature set describing the object's surface features and for categorizing the object's shape; and a shape-estimation module for estimating dimensions of the object, the shape-estimation module comprising a plurality of shape-specific submodules adapted for estimating the dimensions of particular shapes.
