Abstract
The invention relates to capturing a still or moving image as well as object position and displacement data for the image, storing the image and the data as a dimension extractable object, and utilizing the dimension extractable object.
Claims13
A method of transmitting and utilizing a dimension extractable object comprising image data and spatial metadata, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, the dimension extractable object;
- extracting, by the computing device, the image data and the spatial metadata from the dimension extractable object, the image data corresponding to an image captured by a device and the spatial metadata comprising image position data and distance data, the distance data indicating a distance between the device and a physical object depicted in the image at the time the image data was captured;
- and
- calculating, by the computing device, dimensions of the physical object using the image position data and the distance data.
