Abstract
A system and method for estimating a 3D box model of a generally cuboidal 3D object imaged by 3D vision system, which provides a 3D image having a set of 3D points representing surfaces of the cuboidal 3D object to a processor is provided. An input process provides an approximate box as a region of interest (ROI), to the processor, the ROI defining a search volume within the 3D image. An identification process identifies the 3D points that are within the search volume. A coarse estimation process estimates 3D box dimensions that approximate a box shape of the cuboidal object based upon the identified 3D points. A refinement process refines the coarse box shape by processing the 3D points based on the 3D box dimensions that correspond to each of a plurality of imaged faces of the cuboidal object to derive an estimated result for the cuboidal object.
