DIMENSIONAL ACQUISITION OF PACKAGES

摘要

The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for calculating dimensions of objects on loaded or partially loaded pallets for purposes of billing in shipping and transportation applications using depth-sensing imaging devices. A plurality of depth maps of an object are retrieved from one or mote imaging devices. The depth maps are filtered and transformed into a world co-ordinate system based on calibration of the imaging devices. A point cloud is generated and a minimum volume bounding box is determined. The edge lengths and height of the object are calculated, and a volume may be determined to associate a volume with the object.

1. A method of dimensioning an object for determining shipping volumes, the method comprising;:
retrieving a plurality of depth maps of eh object placed on a dimensioning surface from one or more depth-sensing imaging devices; filtering each of the plurality of depth maps retrieved from the one or more depth-sensing imaging devices; transforming each depth map into a world co-ordinate system in three dimensional space utilizing calibration parameters of each of the one or more depth-sensing imaging devices; generating a point cloud representing the object to be dimensioned using the transformation of the plurality of depth maps; determining edge lengths of the object; determining a height of the object; and calculating a volume of the object.
