Abstract:
A method and system for using one or more sensors configured to capture two-dimensional and/or three dimensional image data of one or more objects. In particular, the method and system combine one or more digital sensors with visible and near infrared illumination to capture visible and non-visible range spectral image data for one or more objects. The captured spectral image data can be used to separate and identify the one or more objects. Additionally, the three-dimensional image data can be used to determine a volume for each of the one or more objects. The identification and volumetric data for one or more objects can be used individually or in combination to obtain characteristics about the objects. The method and system provide the user with the ability to capture images of one or more objects and obtain related characteristics or information about each of the one or more objects.

Claim (Index 6):
A method for automated detection and processing of one or more objects in a target area, the method comprising:\n detecting, by at least one sensor, edges of the target area based on a depth of the target area in relation to other objects in a field of view; capturing, by the at least one sensor, a three-dimensional model of the one or more objects within the target area; capturing, by the at least one sensor, image data for the one or more objects, the image data comprising an RGB separated elements or vectors from visible image and a plurality of near infrared vectors for specific wavelengths extracted from the image data of reflected light from the one or more objects; transforming, by an image processing module, the image data into a composite image, the composite image mimicking a single image taken by a single sensor; identifying, by the image processing module, at least one object of the one or more objects that corresponds to color pixels of the composite image; determining, by the image processing module, a volume of space for each pixel in the three-dimensional model based on a depth of pixels; transforming, by the image processing module, the volume of space for each pixel for each identified at least one object into a volumetric value for the at least one object; and summing, by the image processing module, volumetric values of each of the color pixels of the identified at least one object in the composite image to calculate a total volume of the at least one object.
