Adjusting dimensioning results using augmented reality

A dimensioning system, comprising:

• a three-dimensional (3D) sensor configured to capture dimensioning information of 3D objects in a field of view;
• a camera for capturing real-time images of the objects in the field of view;
• a processor communicatively coupled to the 3D sensor and the camera, the processor configured to create augmented-reality feedback comprising (i) the real-time images captured by the camera and (ii) graphic elements comprising one or more wireframes that correspond to edges of the objects in the field of view overlaid on the real-time images, the wireframes corresponding to dimensioning information of at least one of the objects;
• wherein the processor is further configured to (i) recognize gestures of a user in the real-time images captured by the camera, wherein the gestures correspond to manipulation of the one or more wireframes in the created augmented-reality feedback (ii) adjust at least one axis of the one or more wireframes based on the recognized gestures of the user, and (iii) update the dimensioning information of the one or more wireframes based at least in part on the adjusted at least one axis;
• and
• a display communicatively coupled to the processor for displaying the augmented-reality feedback to a user in real time.

An augmented reality interface for a dimensioning system, comprising:

• a camera for capturing images of a field of view that is aligned with the dimensioning system's field of view;
• a display for displaying images and graphical information to a user;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the camera, the display, and the dimensioning system, wherein the processor is configured by software to:
• (i) receive the images from the camera,
• (ii) receive 3D dimensioning information from the dimensioning system, the dimensioning information corresponding to a 3D object in the dimensioning system's field of view,
• (iii) create, using the dimensioning information, wireframe graphics that correspond to the edges of the object,
• (iv) present the images and the wireframe graphics on the display, the wireframe graphics overlaid and aligned with the object in the images,
• (v) recognize adjustment cues from a user in the images,
• (vi) adjust the overlay and/or alignment of the wireframe graphics with the object in the image in response to the adjustment cues, wherein the adjustment of the overlay and/or alignment of the wireframe graphics comprises adjusting at least one axis of the wireframe graphics based on the adjustment cues, and
• (vii) update the dimensioning information of the created wireframe graphics based at least in part on the adjusted at least one axis.

A method for correcting dimensioning errors using an augmented reality interface, the method comprising:

• observing results from a dimensioning system displayed as virtual wireframes overlaid on real-time images of three-dimensional (3D) objects in a field of view, the virtual wireframes corresponding to edges of one or more surfaces of one or more objects in the dimensioning system's field of view;
• identifying one or more errors in the virtual wireframes;
• reaching a hand into the dimensioning system's field of view so that it is displayed with the objects and the virtual wireframes;
• selecting one or more of the virtual wireframes using the hand or a virtual tool enabled by the hand;
• adjusting at least one axis of the one or more virtual wireframes by moving the hand or the virtual tool along the axis;
• and
• updating the results from the dimensioning system based at least in part on the adjusted at least one axis.
