RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION BASED THREE-DIMENSIONAL METROLOGY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17457349 titled 'RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION BASED THREE-DIMENSIONAL METROLOGY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for obtaining three-dimensional measurements of an object using a population of radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips in a medium. Here is a simplified explanation:

  • The method involves placing the object inside a container filled with RFID chips.
  • The RFID chips are scattered throughout the medium.
  • The method captures the coordinates of each RFID chip in the medium.
  • These coordinates are then used to plot a three-dimensional image of the object.

Potential Applications

  • Industrial manufacturing: This technology can be used to accurately measure and inspect objects during the manufacturing process.
  • Inventory management: It can help in tracking and managing inventory by providing accurate three-dimensional measurements of objects.
  • Robotics and automation: The three-dimensional measurements can be used by robots and automated systems for object recognition and manipulation.

Problems Solved

  • Accurate three-dimensional measurements: This method provides a precise way to obtain three-dimensional measurements of objects.
  • Non-contact measurement: The use of RFID chips eliminates the need for physical contact with the object, reducing the risk of damage or contamination.
  • Efficiency: The method allows for quick and automated measurements, saving time and effort compared to traditional measurement techniques.

Benefits

  • Cost-effective: The use of RFID chips and a medium makes this method relatively affordable compared to other three-dimensional measurement technologies.
  • Versatility: The method can be applied to various objects of different shapes and sizes.
  • Non-destructive: The non-contact nature of the measurement process ensures that the object remains undamaged during the measurement.



Original Abstract Submitted

A method for obtaining three-dimension measurements for an object utilizing a population of radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips in a medium includes placing the object into a container with the population of RFID chips in the medium. The method also includes capturing a plurality of coordinates for the population of RFID chips in the medium, where a set of coordinates from the plurality of coordinates correspond to each RFID chip from the population of RFID chips. The method includes plotting the plurality of coordinates for the population of RFID chips in the medium, wherein a plot of the plurality of coordinates provides a three-dimensional image of the object.
