Interesting app of CV in OR.
Questions: - what is the measurement precision?
- do you need calibration? How do you do it in production?
- what it is the root problem you are trying to solve?
- what is your hypothesis about your solution- quantitatively?
1 + 4) If the bbox fit is accurate, we are below 1.5 inch MAE today. Improving bbox fit accuracy is where most of our effort goes. We're confident this gets to <1 inch at full coverage. The tail is bounded by data and model scale, both of which we're actively closing.
2) Not necessarily. Models like MapAnything/MoGe predict calibration params directly and GeoCalib is good for distortion coefficients. We still calibrate manually on-site, but mainly to validate these models actually hold up in real warehouses and collect our own calibration training data. We are confident the future is calibration-free.
3) carriers lose money every day because shippers understate dimensions and LTL is priced by volume. Every understated shipment is lost revenue. Thats the wedge we sre going after.
