Abstract
A method and system for object characterization based on image volumetric determination are provided. The method comprises capturing frames of image data for a moving object in an area from at least two different angles. The later occurring frames of image data are subtracted from previous occurring frames of image data for each of the different angles to obtain object movement information. The object movement information is correlated from the different angles over the area, and a volume of the object is determined from the object movement information.

A method for object characterization based on image volumetric determination, the method comprising:
- capturing frames of image data for a moving object in an area from at least two different angles;
- subtracting later occurring frames of image data from previous occurring frames of image data for each of the different angles to obtain object movement information;
- correlating the object movement information from the different angles over the area;
- and
- determining a volume of the object from the object movement information.
A computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon for a method of object characterization based on image volumetric determination, the method comprising:
- capturing frames of image data for a moving object in an area from at least two different angles;
- subtracting later occurring frames of image data from previous occurring frames of image data for each of the different angles to obtain object movement information;
- correlating the object movement information from the different angles over the area;
- and
- determining a volume of the object from the object movement information.
A system for object characterization based on image volumetric determination, the system comprising:
- means for capturing frames of image data for a moving object in an area from at least two different angles;
- and
- a computing device in communication with the means for capturing frames of image data, the computing device having executable instructions stored therein comprising:
