发明名称 Method and apparatus for using gestures to control a laser tracker
摘要 A method and system are provided for controlling a laser tracker remotely from the laser tracker through gestures performed by a user. The method includes providing a rule of correspondence between each of a plurality of commands and each of a plurality of user gestures. A gesture is performed by the user with the user's body that corresponds to one of the plurality of user gestures. The gesture performed by the user is detected. The gesture recognition engine determines a first command from one of the plurality of commands that correspond with the detected gesture. Then the first command is executed with the laser tracker.

主权项 1. A method for a user to control operation of a laser tracker with steps comprising: providing the laser tracker having a structure rotatable about a first axis and a second axis, a first light source that launches a first light beam from the structure, a distance meter, a first angular encoder that measures a first angle of rotation about the first axis, a second angular encoder that measures a second angle of rotation about the second axis, and a processor; providing a wearable device having a plurality of sensor nodes, wherein each sensor node further includes one or more Electromyography sensors; providing a rule of correspondence between each of a plurality of commands and each of a plurality of gestures, each gesture from among the plurality of gestures corresponding to a muscle generated electrical signal from the one or more Electromyography sensors; placing the wearable device on the user's body; performing by the user a first gesture from among the plurality of gestures, the first gesture corresponding to a first command; measuring with the wearable device a first set of muscle generated electrical signals; determining the first command based at least in part on processing the first set of muscle generated electrical signals according to the rule of correspondence; and executing the first command with the laser tracker.
