Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) depth imaging system is provided for use in commercial trailer loading applications. A 3D-depth camera may be configured and oriented to capture 3D image data of a vehicle storage area. A depth-detection application executing on one or more processors may determine, based on the 3D image data, at least a wall data region and a non-wall data region. Based on the determination of the wall data and the non-wall data region, the depth-detection application generates a wall indicator that indicates a wall is situated at a discrete depth within the vehicle storage area.
Claims23
A three-dimensional (3D) depth imaging system for use in commercial trailer loading, the 3D depth imaging system comprising:
- a 3D-depth camera configured to capture 3D image data, the 3D-depth camera oriented in a direction to capture 3D image data of a vehicle storage area;
- and
- a depth-detection application executing on one or more processors, the depth-detection application determining, based on the 3D image data, at least a wall data region and a non-wall data region,
- wherein the determination of the wall data region and the non-wall data region causes the depth-detection application to generate a wall indicator, the wall indicator indicating that a wall is situated at a discrete depth within the vehicle storage area.
A three-dimensional (3D) depth imaging method for use in commercial trailer loading, the 3D depth imaging method comprising:
- capturing, via a 3D-depth camera, 3D image data of a vehicle storage area, the 3D-depth camera oriented in a direction to capture the 3D image data of the vehicle storage area;
- analyzing, via one or more processors, the 3D image data with a depth-detection application, the depth-detection application determining, based on the 3D image data, at least a wall data region and a non-wall data region;
- and
- generating, via the depth-detection application, a wall indicator, the wall indicator indicating that a wall situated at a discrete depth within the vehicle storage area is detected.
