Abstract
Various embodiments described herein relate to techniques for computing dimensions of a non-cuboid shaped object using angular estimates associated with 3D points captured in an image of a scene including the object. In this regard, a dimensioning system may capture at least one image of the scene including the object and identify one or more planes on the object from the captured at least one image. Further, a surface plane from amongst the one or more identified planes that contains a maximum number of three-dimensional (3D) surface points on the object is determined. Upon determination of the surface plane, angular estimation is determined representing angular values between a normal to the surface plane and a normal to a reference plane. Accordingly, the angular estimation is further used along with an estimated height of the object for computing the dimensions of the object.
