Abstract
Techniques are described for analyzing images acquired via mobile devices in various ways, including to estimate measurements for one or more attributes of one or more objects in the images, as well as determine changes over time in objects and their measurements based on images acquired at different times. For example, the described techniques may be used to measure the volume of a stockpile of material or other large object, based on images acquired via a mobile device that moves around some or all of the object. The calculation of object volume and/or other determined object information may include generating and manipulating one or more computer models of the object from selected images, and determining changes may include comparing different models for different times. In addition, further automated activities may include displaying, presenting or otherwise providing information about some or all of the determined information.
