Semi-automatic dimensioning with imager on a portable device

摘要

A method of operating a dimensioning system to determine dimensional information for objects is disclosed. A number of images are acquired. Objects in at least one of the acquired images are computationally identified. One object represented in the at least one of the acquired images is computationally initially selected as a candidate for processing. An indication of the initially selected object is provided to a user. At least one user input indicative of an object selected for processing is received. Dimensional data for the object indicated by the received user input is computationally determined.

1. A method of operating a dimensioning system including a computing system communicably coupled to a lease one input device, at least one output device, and at least one imager, the dimensioning system to determine dimensional information for objects, the method comprising:
Acquiring a number of images via the at least one imager; computationally identifying representation of three-dimensional object in at least one of the acquired image; automatically selecting by the computing system one object represented in the at least one of the acquired images as a candidate for processing; providing an indication to a user indicative of the automatically selected object via the at least one output device; receiving at least one user input device, the at least one user input indicative of at least one of a confirmation of the automatically selected object for processing or a selection of a different object present in the at least one of the acquired images for processing; and computationally determining dimensional data for the object indicated by the received user input; wherein computationally determining dimensional data for the object indicated by the received user input includes determining a dimensional data for the object by the received user input includes determining a dimensional weight based on an estimated perimeter of the object indicated by the received user selection as the object is represented in the acquired image.
