Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) depth imaging systems and methods are disclosed for use in commercial trailer loading. In various aspects, a 3D-depth camera is configured and oriented in a direction to capture 3D image data of a vehicle storage area. A depth-detection application (app) executing on one more processors determines, based on the 3D image data, a void data region, and a floor data region within the 3D image data. Based on the determination of the void data region and the floor data region, the depth-detection app generates an out-of-range indicator that indicates that a wall (e.g., a package wall) situated at a rear section of the vehicle storage area is not detected. The determination that a package wall is not detected causes a dashboard app to modify a graphical representation of the capacity of the vehicle storage area.
