APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MEASURING ROOM DIMENSIONS

摘要

An apparatus for measuring an enclosed space. The apparatus is comprised of a support pole; a fixture engaged with the support pole; a driving device engaged with the fixture to rotate the fixture around the support pole and translate the fixture along the support pole; a camera mounted on the fixture and positioned facing outwardly from the fixture and having an image pupil and a field of view containing a portion of the surfaces of the enclosed space; a plurality of lasers joined to the fixture, the lasers directing laser beams outwardly from the fixture to the portion of the surfaces of the enclosed space that are contained within the field of view of the camera; and a processor in signal communication with the camera, the processor containing an algorithm to process images of the surfaces and calculate distances from the image pupil to the laser spots on the surfaces.
