R-C-P Method: An Autonomous Volume Calculation Method Using Image Processing and Machine Vision
摘要
Incorporating 3D sensors into the system results in increased power consumption, larger volumes of data, and physical space. This study was motivated by a desire to obtain real-time volumetric data and study information with multiple 2D cameras. Two cameras were used to measure the dimensions of a rectangular object in real time. The row-column-pixel (R-C-P) method was presented using a 2D camera and three rectangular surfaces at the same distance. The R-C-P method also detects discontinuous edge volume. The relationship between the actual dimension and the dimension output by the R-C-P method is established as the distance gradually increases. The results obtained best illustrated the R-C-P method, providing equations to calculate the rectangular object’s surface area dimensions.
