Abstract

A method to determine the volume of a box object from the captured image of the box object. The method includes identifying a geometric mark on the box object in the captured image to find the positions of two reference points of the geometric mark. The two reference points are separated by a predetermined distance. The method also includes processing a group of parameters and a predetermined mapping obtained from a calibration process. The group of parameters includes the positions of the two reference points and the predetermined distance separating the two reference points.
