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 second light source and a camera, the second light source configured to project a second light beam, the camera configured to acquire an image of the second light beam reflected off of a user; 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 body position of the user; projecting the second light beam from the second light source and acquiring with the camera a first image of the user; generating a skeletal model of the user from the first image; performing by the user a first gesture from among the plurality of gestures, the first gesture corresponding to a first body position; identifying from the skeletal model the performing by the user of the first gesture; determining the first command based at least in part on the identifying of the first gesture according to the rule of correspondence; and executing the first command with the laser tracker.
