Abstract

We present a method for measuring the volume of an irregularly shaped pile of material from a stereo pair of images without computing its surface shape.

Our method is applicable to such tasks as verifying the volume of solder paste applied to the pads of a circuit board prior to reflow soldering. It can be implemented using the stereo hardware of Nishihara [1984] to perform at a rate of one or more volume measurements per video frame time.
