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

A three-dimensional (3D) imaging method for implementing virtual grading of package walls in commercial trailer loading, the 3D imaging method comprising:

• capturing, by a 3D-depth camera, 3D image data of a vehicle storage area;
• determining, based on the set of 3D image data and by a 3D data analytics application (app) executing on one or more processors communicatively coupled to the 3D-depth camera, a package wall within the vehicle storage area;
• and
• assigning 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.

A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for implementing virtual grading of package walls in commercial trailer loading, that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

• capture, by a 3D-depth camera, 3D image data of a vehicle storage area;
• 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.
