Hand held dimension capture apparatus, system and method

Abstract

A method of determining dimension information indicative of the dimensions of an object is disclosed, the method including: receiving a depth image of the object; and processing the depth information. The processing may include: determining a region of interest (ROI) in the image corresponding to a corner of the object; generating local normal information indicative of local normals corresponding to points in the image; generating, based at least in part on the ROI and the local normal information, object face information indicative of an association of points in the image with sides of the object; and determining the dimension information based at least in part on the object face information.
