  • Patent number: 11282291
    Abstract: Techniques are described for automated analysis and use of images acquired of an object of interest, such as from one or more fixed-location camera devices with only partial visual coverage of the object exterior, such as to automatically generate a computer model of the object from visual data in the images and to use the computer model to automatically estimate values for one or more object attributes. For example, the described techniques may be used to measure the volume of a pile of material significantly larger than a human using images acquired by one or more fixed-location cameras that provide visual coverage of only a subset of the pile's exterior. The images from such fixed-location cameras may be acquired at various times (e.g., when triggered by conditions in the environment of the object, dynamically upon request, etc.), and may be used to monitor changes in the object.
