This paper presents a novel algorithm for extracting the pose and dimensions of cargo boxes in a large measurement space of a robotic gantry, with sub-centimetre accuracy using multiple low cost RGB-D Kinect sensors. This information is used by a bin-packing and path-planning software to build up a pallet. The robotic gantry workspaces can be up to 10 m in all dimensions, and the cameras cannot be placed top-down since the components of the gantry actuate within this space. This presents a challenge as occlusion and sensor noise is more likely.
