Abstract
A method for determining volume of an object includes: obtaining a target depth image containing a target object which is captured by a depth image capturing device (S); performing segmentation based on depth data in the target depth image to obtain a target image region corresponding to the target object (S); determining a target circumscribed rectangle that corresponds to the target image region and meets a predetermined condition (S); determining volume of the target object based on the target circumscribed rectangle and the depth data of the target depth image (S). Compared to the laser-based determination method in the prior art, this method employs a depth image capturing device without a laser measurement device, and thus the economic cost is lower. Further, compared to the manual scale-based determination method in the prior art, the method employs a software program to automatically determine volume without manual cooperation, and has a higher accuracy and efficiency. It can be seen that the present scheme achieves a high accuracy, a high efficiency and a lower economic cost in determining volume of the object. An apparatus for determining volume of an object is further provided.
