Abstract: Methods and systems for determining rotation and clipping parameters for images of unit load devices (ULDs) are disclosed herein. An example method includes capturing a set of image data featuring a ULD. The example method may further include locating a fiducial marker proximate to the ULD within the set of image data. The example method may further include cropping the set of image data, based upon the located fiducial marker, to generate a set of marker point data and a set of floor point data. The example method may further include rotating the set of image data based upon the set of marker point data and the set of floor point data, and clipping the rotated set of image data based upon the set of marker point data and the set of floor point data.

Abstract: Methods and systems for assessing a unit load device (ULD) package density are disclosed herein. An example method includes capturing a primary and secondary image featuring the ULD. The method further includes segmenting the primary image and the secondary image into a plurality of subsections and determining a primary largest depth value and secondary largest depth value for each subsection. The method further includes determining a depth change by comparing the primary largest depth value for each subsection to the secondary largest depth value for each subsection. The method further includes clustering subsections in the secondary image including a respective secondary largest depth value that is substantially similar to a subsection corresponding to a depth change to create a plurality of clusters. The method further includes calculating a wasted volume, and calculating a ULD package density by subtracting the wasted volume from a filled volume of the ULD.

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) imaging systems and methods are described for implementing virtual grading of package walls in commercial trailer loading. The 3D imaging systems and methods comprise capturing, by a 3D-depth camera, 3D image data of a vehicle storage area. A package wall is determined, 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. A wall grade is assigned to the package wall, where 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.

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) imaging systems and methods are disclosed for detecting and dimensioning a vehicle storage area. A 3D-depth camera captures 3D image data comprising one or more 3D image datasets of the vehicle storage area during corresponding one or more image capture iterations. A 3D data analytics application (app) executing on one or more processors communicatively coupled to the 3D-depth camera and for each one or more image capture iterations, updates a number of planar regions detected within the one or more 3D image datasets. The 3D data analytics app further assigns a vehicle storage area type to the vehicle storage area based on the number of planar regions detected by the 3D analytics app over the one or more image capture iterations.

Abstract: Methods for detecting if a Time of Flight (ToF) sensor is looking into a container are disclosed herein. An example method includes capturing a three-dimensional image. The three-dimensional image may comprise three-dimensional point data having a plurality of points. The example method may further include analyzing the plurality of points to determine a plurality of image components. Each image component may be representative of the plurality of points. The example method may further include comparing each image component of the plurality of image components to a threshold value. Each image component may correspond to a respective threshold value. The example method may further include determining that a number of image components N of the plurality of image components satisfy the respective threshold values, and determining the presence or absence of the container by comparing the number of image components N to an agreement threshold X.
