1. A method for assessing trailer utilization, comprising:
generating a map of an interior of a trailer, the map including first voxels associated with the interior of the trailer;
capturing an image of the interior of the trailer, the image including a plurality of three-dimensional (3D) image data points;
iterating over each 3D image data point to generate a set of 3D points indicative of respective 3D image data points that correspond to respective first voxels;
generating a 3D map of an object based on the set of 3D points;
determining whether the object is non-conforming;
responsive to determining that the object is non-conforming, determining second voxels associated with unusable space proximate to the non-conforming object from among the first voxels and third voxels associated with the non-conforming object from among the first voxels;
responsive to determining that the object is not non-conforming, determining fourth voxels associated with the not non-conforming object from among the first voxels;
determining an occupied portion of the trailer based on the first voxels, the third voxels, and the fourth voxels;
filling at least one region associated with the non-conforming object based on dimension data of the non-conforming object;
determining trailer utilization based on the occupied portion of the trailer, the first voxels, and the second voxels; and
displaying, on a user interface, the trailer utilization for a user.
