Abstract:
An automatic parcel volume capture system, comprising:stereo image input means for capturing images of an object from at least two different angles; image processing means for signal-processing the images captured by the stereo image input means and extracting a region of said object in the images; feature extraction means for extracting lines and cross points of the lines from results of the image processing means; and volume measurement means for generating a three dimensional model on the basis of the extracted lines and cross points and measuring the volume of the object, wherein the volume measurement means comprises: matched junction capturing means for matching the same crossing points among crossing points captured from the image; three dimensional model generating means for generating said three dimensional model of said object on the basis of the matched junction capturing means; and volume calculating means for calculating the volume of the object on the basis of the three dimensional model.
