Abstract
A method for monitoring a loading area, in which the interior of the loading area is three-dimensionally measured by at least one distance-measuring, depth-aware sensor, including storing as a first data set 3D data describing each measurement point of three-dimensional surfaces bordering the loading area, and 3D data describing each measurement point of any objects or load parts located in the loading area. The method further includes assigning a time stamp to the first data set and carrying out at least one further subsequent three-dimensional measurement by the sensor, wherein corresponding 3D data describing measurement points is stored as an associated second data set and also assigned a time stamp. The 3D data of the first data set is compared with spatially corresponding measurement points or point sets of the second data set by an algorithm in a computing or analysis unit.
