Abstract
A method determines dimensions in a scene by first acquiring a depth image of the scene acquired by a sensor, and extracting planes from the depth image. Topological relationships of the planes are determined. The dimensions are determined based on the planes and the topological relationships. A quality of the dimensions is evaluated using a scene type, and if the quality is sufficient outputting the dimensions, and otherwise outputting a guidance to reposition the sensor.
