Three-dimensional (3D) depth imaging systems and methods are disclosed for automatically determining shipping container fullness based on imaging templates. A 3D-depth camera captures 3D image data of a shipping container located in a predefined search space during a shipping container loading session. A container fullness application (app) receives the 3D image data, and determines therefrom a 3D container point cloud representative of a shipping container. An imaging template that defines a 3D template point cloud corresponding to a shipping container type of the shipping container is loaded into memory. A fullness value of the shipping container is determined based on a 3D mapping that is generated from alignment of a 3D container front portion of the 3D container point cloud with a 3D template front portion of the 3D template point cloud.
