Box Volume Measurement using Camera and ArUco Marker

Abstract

This paper presents a volume measurement system based on image processing. The suggested plan offers reasonable costs, good accuracy, and convenience of manpower. The extra specifications like item alignment during measurement and putting the objects at a specific Place in the measurement area. Instead of using a single cell phone for the measurement, two cameras will be used, each of which will be positioned on a different plane to increase precision. To speed up processing, the application will be created on an Android platform and only be available on mobile devices. For precise measurement, images will be taken from two distinct perspectives (one from a top view and the other from a side view). First, a calibration procedure tailored to the problem at hand was carried out, and after that, the Hough transform was used throughout the image processing stage. The proposed method gives a rough volume measurement for objects with random shape even though it was originally designed to assess the volume of box-type objects. The system will yield satisfactory results when tested with different external disturbances.
