Three-dimensional (3D) imaging systems and methods for virtual grading of package walls in commercial trailer loading

A three-dimensional (3D) imaging system configured to implement virtual grading of package walls in commercial trailer loading, the 3D imaging system comprising:

• a 3D-depth camera configured to capture 3D image data, the 3D-depth camera oriented in a direction to capture a set of 3D image data of a vehicle storage area,
• a 3D data analytics application (app) executing on one or more processors communicatively coupled to the 3D-depth camera, the 3D data analytics app configured to:
• determine, based on the set of 3D image data, a package wall within the vehicle storage area, and
• assign a wall grade to the package wall, wherein the package wall is defined within the set of 3D image data by a plurality of packages each having a similar depth dimension, and wherein the package wall has a wall height,
• wherein the 3D data analytics app determines the wall grade by comparing the similar depth dimension to a wall depth threshold value and by comparing the wall height to a wall height threshold value.
