SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MEASURING DISTANCES RELATED TO AN OBJECT

摘要

A system and method for the measurement of distances related to an object depicted in an image. One aspect including delivery of supplemental materials for fenestration and for constructing insulating materials for fenestration. A digital image containing a primary object dimension and a reference object dimension in substantially the same plane undergoes digital image processing to provide improved measurement capability. Information regarding a primary object is provided to an automated measurement process, design and manufacturing system to provide customized parts to end users. A digital image is obtained having an observable constraint dimension to which a customized part is to conform wherein the digital image contains a reference object having a reference dimension and a constraint dimension is calculated from the digital image based on a reference dimension. The custom part is designed and manufactured based on the calculated constraint dimension.

1. A computer implemented method of determining measurements for designing a part, said method comprising:
obtaining a digital image on a computer, said digital image containing at least a primary object constraint dimension to which said part is to conform and a standard reference object having one or more readily identified known linear dimensions viewable in said digital image; detecting, on a computer, said reference object in said digital image utilizing at least one of color, edge or shape detection; determining, on a computer, pixel dimensions of said standard reference object based on said one or more known reference object dimensions and calculating a calibration factor therefrom using said one or more known linear dimensions; receiving an object feature indication from an end user after capture of said digital image; calculating, on a computer, a planar constraint dimension from said digital image in accordance with said calibration factor; and wherein said digital image is obtained substantially within a projection of said primary object.
