Abstract: Imaging data regarding an interior portion of a storage vessel may be obtained from an imaging device (e.g., a digital camera or depth sensor) and interpreted in order to identify an available volume within the storage vessel. Where the imaging data includes an image of an interior of the storage vessel, an area of one or more contiguous spaces of a rear face of the storage vessel may be identified from the image and multiplied by a depth of the storage vessel in order to estimate the available volume. Where the imaging data includes a depth profile of the interior, the depth profile may be processed in order to estimate the available volume. Once an available volume has been estimated, the capacity of the available volume to accommodate one or more additional items may be determined, and information regarding the capacity may be provided to a user.

Abstract translation: 关于存储容器的内部部分的成像数据可以从成像装置（例如，数字照相机或深度传感器）获得并解释，以便识别储存容器内的可用体积。 在成像数据包括存储容器的内部的图像的情况下，可以从图像中识别存储容器的后表面的一个或多个相邻空间的区域，并乘以存储容器的深度以估计 可用体积。 当成像数据包括内部的深度轮廓时，可以处理深度轮廓以便估计可用体积。 一旦已经估计可用卷，则可以确定可用卷的容量来容纳一个或多个附加项，并且可以向用户提供关于容量的信息。
