Patent ID: 8345953

Claim:
A system for obtaining measurements of an object, the system comprising: a portable image capture device to capture first and second images of a plurality of objects and to transmit the first and second images; and a processing system comprising a measurement application executable on the processing system, the measurement application comprising: a pairing module to store a stereo image pair in a memory for each of the plurality of objects, the stereo image pair comprising first and second images of a particular object that were simultaneously captured; a user interface (UI) module to generate a list of stereo image pairs for display, to generate corresponding first and second images of a selected one of the list of stereo image pairs for display, and to receive: a first user input designating a first set of points in a first stereo image pair and a second user input designating a second set of points in a second stereo image pair, wherein the first stereo image pair comprises the first image and the second image of a portion of the particular object, and wherein the second stereo image pair comprises another first image and another second image of an opposite portion of the particular object; and a symmetry module configured to: define a central reference plane between the first set of points in the first stereo image pair and the second set of points in the second stereo image pair; and calculate symmetry deviations between the first set of points and the second set of points as a function of the defined central reference plane.
