Three-dimensional (3D) imaging systems and methods for determining vehicle storage areas and vehicle door statuses

Abstract:

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging systems and methods are disclosed for determining vehicle storage areas and vehicle door statuses. A 3D-depth camera captures 3D image data of one or more vehicle storage areas. A 3D data analytics application (app) analyzes a first 3D image dataset of the 3D image data to determine a first depth measurement corresponding to a first vehicle storage area. The 3D data analytics app further analyzes a second 3D image dataset of the 3D image data to determine a second depth measurement. The 3D data analytics app detects a depth-change event based on the second depth measurement differing from the first depth measurement by more than a predefined depth-change threshold value. The 3D analytics app assigns, based on the depth-change event, an open door status to a new second vehicle storage area and a closed door status to the previous first vehicle storage area.
