Abstract:
Dimensioners and methods for dimensioning an object includes capturing, using a dimensioning system with a single sensor, at least one range image of at least one field-of-view, and calculating dimensional data of the range images and storing the results. Wherein, the number of views captured of the object is automatically determined based on one of three modes. The first mode is used if the object is a cuboid, or has no protrusions and only one obtuse angle that does not face the point of view, where it captures a single view of the object. The second mode is used if the object includes a single obtuse angle, and no protrusions, where it captures two views of the object. The third mode is used if the object includes a protrusion and/or more than one obtuse angle, overhang, protrusion, or combinations thereof, where it captures more than two views of the object.

Claim (Index 21):
A dimensioning system, comprising:\n a pattern projector configured to project a light pattern onto an object; a range camera configured to capture a first light pattern image of the object from a first view and generate a first range image based on the first light pattern image; and a processor communicatively coupled to the pattern projector and the range camera, wherein the processor is configured by software to:\n calculate a first set of dimensions of the object based on the first range image; \n determine that the object comprises one or more obtuse angles based on the first range image; \n cause the range camera to capture a second light pattern image of the object from a second view and generate a second range image based on the second light pattern image, wherein the second view is different from the first view; \n calculate a second set of dimensions of the object based on the second range image; and \n determine a minimum bounding box for the object based at least on the first set of dimensions and the second set of dimensions.
