Abstract

Most of the current warehouse management system is made out of two-dimensional (2D) plane schematic warehouse, which brings a lot of inconvenience to warehouse management, including the warehouse data, storage of goods, location search, inventory, etc. 3D warehouse model began to attract attention as it can provide more intuitive view of warehouse-related information. This paper aims to review and investigate the current key technologies used for 3D modeling of warehouse system. This paper reviewed the method of 3D view reconstruction of the warehouse management system, including the active and passive, active and passive fusion methods, and makes a detailed comparison between the active and passive methods. It was found that different methods were applied to reconstruct the 3D view of warehouse, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
