Abstract

See full text

A stationary dimensioning apparatus dimensions a load on a movable conveyance by detecting a barcode fiducial that is situated on the conveyance and by detecting a large number of points in space that represent points on the surface of the load. The location of the barcode fiducial on the conveyance is compared with a reference location of a reference barcode fiducial, and a translation vector and a rotation vector are calculated to characterize the difference in translation and rotation between the reference barcode fiducial and the barcode fiducial that was detected on the conveyance. The translation and rotation vectors are then employed in a transformation matrix that is used to transform each of the detected points in space into transformed points in space that correspond with a reference coordinate system, such as might be defined in terms of horizontal and vertical directions. Those transformed space in points that are determined to be points on the surface of the conveyance itself can be ignored, and the dimensions of the load can then be calculated from the remaining transformed points in space.
