Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to system and methods for estimating the time associated with completion of loading and/or unloading of a container. In an embodiment, the present invention is a method of estimating an estimated time to completion (ETC) of loading a container. The method includes: capturing, via an image capture apparatus, a three-dimensional image representative of a three-dimensional formation, the three-dimensional image having a plurality of points with three-dimensional point data; based at least in part on a first sub-plurality of the points, determining an active load time for the container; based at least in part on a second sub-plurality of the points, determining a fullness of the container; and estimating, by a controller, the ETC based on the active load time and on the fullness.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) depth imaging system is provided for use in commercial trailer loading applications. A 3D-depth camera may be configured and oriented to capture 3D image data of a vehicle storage area. A depth-detection application executing on one or more processors may determine, based on the 3D image data, at least a wall data region and a non-wall data region. Based on the determination of the wall data and the non-wall data region, the depth-detection application generates a wall indicator that indicates a wall is situated at a discrete depth within the vehicle storage area.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for using a three-dimensional (3D) depth imaging system for use in commercial trailer loading is disclosed. The method and apparatus may be configured to determine a load-efficiency score for a trailer in a variety of ways. In one embodiment, the method and apparatus may determine the score by receiving a set of point cloud data based on 3D image data, analyzing the set of point cloud data, generating a set of data slices based on the set of point cloud data each data slice corresponding to a portion of the 3D image data, estimating a set of missing data points in each data slice in the set of data slices, and calculating a load-efficiency score based on the generated set of data slices and estimated set of missing data points.
