Abstract:
A method of dimensioning an object includes: projecting, from a plurality of laser emitters disposed on a dimensioning device and having a predefined spatial arrangement forming a plane, respective laser beams onto a surface of the object, the laser beams oriented parallel to each other; controlling an image sensor of the dimensioning device, simultaneously with the projecting, to capture image data representing the surface and projections of the laser beams on the surface; detecting projection pixel coordinates in the image data representing the projections of the laser beams on the surface; detecting edge pixel coordinates in the image data representing edges of the surface; and determining a dimension of the surface based on the projection pixel coordinates, the edge pixel coordinates, and the predefined spatial arrangement.
