Handheld dimensioning system with feedback

摘要

A handheld dimensioning system that analyzes a depth map for null-data pixels to provide feedback is disclosed. Null-data pixels correspond to missing range data and having too many in a depth map may lead to dimensioning errors. Providing feedback based on the number of null-data pixels helps a user understand and adapt to different dimensioning conditions, promotes accuracy, and facilitates handheld applications.

主权项

1. A method for obtaining a dimension measurement using a handheld dimensioner, the method comprising:
receiving, using a processor, range data from a dimensioning subsystem; creating, using the processor, a depth map from the range data; determining, using the processor, a null-data pixel-count from the depth map, the null-data pixel-count comprising a sum total of null-data pixels; and computing, using the processor, a dimension measurement if the null-data pixel-count is at or below a threshold count, or generating, using the processor, an error feedback if the null-data pixel-count is above the threshold count.
