Abstract:
A method of determining volume of a cargo space of a vehicle in real-time includes generating an initial spatial model of the cargo space using images from a plurality of cameras including cameras for capturing at least one of depth and color, positioned in and around the cargo space, where the images are stitched together into a dense point cloud in real-time, generating an updated spatial model of the cargo space using the images, upon detection of items being loaded or unloaded into the cargo space, where the updated spatial model includes changes to the cargo space, estimating a volume of loaded items in the updated spatial model, and determining a remaining volume of the cargo space based on the estimated volume of the loaded items and a total volume of the cargo space, where the total volume is calculated based on the initial spatial model.
