Patent Images
1. A method for object characterization based on image volumetric determination, the method comprising:
- capturing frames of image data for a moving object in an area from at least two different angles;
subtracting later occurring frames of image data from previous occurring frames of image data for each of the different angles to obtain object movement information;
correlating the object movement information from the different angles over the area; and
determining a volume of the object from the object movement information.

Abstract
A method and system for object characterization based on image volumetric determination are provided. The method comprises capturing frames of image data for a moving object in an area from at least two different angles. The later occurring frames of image data are subtracted from previous occurring frames of image data for each of the different angles to obtain object movement information. The object movement information is correlated from the different angles over the area, and a volume of the object is determined from the object movement information.
