Abstract

RGB-D data generated by at least one optical sensor for a field of view is received. Thereafter, the RGB-D data is bifurcated into (i) RGB data and (ii) depth data for the field of view. One or more bounding polygons are defined within the depth data that each characterize a window within the field of view encapsulating an object. The RGB data is then cropped using the bounding polygon(s). Image processing can later be applied to the cropped RGB data to identify at least one object therein. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
