Methods, Systems and Apparatus for Segmenting and Dimensioning Objects
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining, using a logic circuit, a first sensor of a plurality of sensors toward which a vehicle is moving based on image data generating by the plurality of sensors, the image data representative of the vehicle and an object carried by the vehicle;
designating the first sensor as a reference sensor;
combining, using the logic circuit, the image data from the plurality of sensors to generate combined image data representative of the vehicle and the object carried by the vehicle, the combining based on the reference sensor;
generating, using the logic circuit, a plurality of clusters based on the combined image data; and
identifying, using the logic circuit, a first one of the clusters nearest the reference sensor as the object.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for segmenting and dimensioning objects are disclosed. An example method disclosed herein includes determining a first sensor of a plurality of sensors toward which a vehicle is moving based on image data generating by the plurality of sensors; designating the first sensor as a reference sensor; combining the image data from the plurality of sensors to generate combined image data representative of the vehicle and an object carried by the vehicle, the combining based on reference sensor; generating a plurality of clusters based on the combined image data; and identifying a first one of the clusters nearest the reference sensor as the object.

15. An apparatus comprising:
-
a reference setter to; determine a first sensor of a plurality of sensors toward which a vehicle is moving based on image data generating by the plurality of sensors, the image data representative of the vehicle and an object carried by the vehicle; designate the first sensor as a reference sensor; and combine the image data from the plurality of sensors to generate combined image data representative of the vehicle and the object carried by the vehicle, the combining based on the reference sensor; and a freight analyzer to; generate a plurality of clusters based on the combined image data; and identify a first one of the clusters nearest the reference sensor as the object, wherein at least one of the reference setter or the freight analyzer is implemented via a logic circuit. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
