VOLUMNECT: A cost-effective solution for 3D volume measurement for packing optimization

VOLUMNECT provides a solution to volume measurement using 3D cameras targetting the object packing problem. Application scenarios include warehouses or logistic companies where it is important to compute volumes promptly, yet high accuracy is not pivotal. VOLUMNECT automaticaly detects cuboid objects and computes their volume. The framework applies to a point cloud simple computer vision and image processing methods, attaining encoraging accuracy results (about 8mm), turning out to be a cost effective solution.
