Abstract:
A method of determining a support structure depth of a support structure having a front and a back separated by the support structure depth includes: obtaining a point cloud of the support structure, and a mask indicating, for a plurality of portions of an image of the support structure captured from a capture pose, respective confidence levels that the portions depict the back of the support structure; selecting, from the point cloud, an initial set of points located within a field of view originating at the capture pose; selecting, from the initial set of points, an unoccluded subset of depth measurements, the depth measurements in the unoccluded subset corresponding to respective image coordinates; retrieving, from the mask, a confidence level for each of the depth measurements in the unoccluded subset; and based on the depth measurements in the unoccluded subset and the retrieved confidence levels, determining the support structure depth.
