Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to the measurement of objects. Using unique processes, the present systems and methods can determine the size of an object using a computing device. For example, in certain embodiments, the present systems and methods receive a physical object such as a foot determine the size of the foot in millimeters, and convert the size of the foot in millimeters into a shoe size.
Claims22
A method for automatically sizing a physical object via an electronic computing device, comprising the steps of:
- receiving an indication that the physical object is within a field of view of a sensor of the electronic computing device;
- identifying, via the sensor, a depth of the physical object from the sensor of the electronic computing device;
- determining, via the electronic computing device, an image of the physical object, wherein the image has an outline defining an outer boundary of the physical object, wherein a display of the electronic computing device is configured to show the image of the physical object and its corresponding movement;
- determining from the outer boundary of the physical object, a first end and a second end of the physical object;
- retrieving a pixel ratio corresponding to the electronic computing device;
- determining a pixel length between the first end and the second end of the physical object;
- and
- based on the depth, the pixel ratio, and the pixel length, calculating a physical length of the physical object.

A system for automatically sizing a physical object, comprising:
- a database configured to store pixel ratios for electronic computing devices;
- and
- an electronic computing device in operative communication with the database, the electronic computing device having a display and a processor operative to:
- receive an indication that the physical object is within a field of view of a sensor of the electronic computing device;
- identify, via the sensor, a depth of the physical object from the sensor of the electronic computing device;
- determine an image of the physical object, wherein the image has an outline defining an outer boundary of the physical object, wherein the display of the electronic computing device shows the image of the physical object and its corresponding movement;
- determine from the outer boundary of the physical object a first end and a second end of the physical object;
- retrieve a pixel ratio corresponding to the electronic computing device from the database;
- determine a pixel length between the first end and the second end of the physical object;
- and
- based on the depth, the pixel ratio, and the pixel length, calculate a physical length of the physical object.
