Abstract
Techniques are described for automated analysis and use of data acquired about a moving object of interest, such as from one or more physically mounted cameras that have at least partial coverage of the object exterior, to automatically generate a computer model of the object from visual data in images and to use the computer model to automatically estimate values for one or more object attributes. For example, the described techniques may include, for a pile of material being moved past one or more stationary cameras by one or more transporting vehicles, using acquired images that provide visual coverage of only a subset of the pile's exterior to measure the volume of the pile. The images from such devices may be acquired at various times (e.g., when triggered by object movement), and may be used to monitor movement trajectories and other attributes of one or more such objects.
