Height Measurement Method and Apparatus, and Terminal - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18154508 titled 'Height Measurement Method and Apparatus, and Terminal
Simplified Explanation
Abstract: A method for measuring the height of an object using image analysis and camera pose information. This method involves obtaining an image of the object and the camera's position when the image was taken. Key skeleton points of the object are identified in the image, and their pixel coordinates are obtained. Using the camera's pose and the pixel coordinates, the three-dimensional coordinates of the key skeleton points are determined. Finally, the height of the object is calculated based on the three-dimensional coordinates of the key skeleton points.
Patent/Innovation Explanation:
- Obtains an image of a target object and the camera's pose during image capture.
- Identifies and obtains pixel coordinates of at least two key skeleton points of the target object in the image.
- Utilizes the camera's pose and pixel coordinates to determine the three-dimensional coordinates of the key skeleton points.
- Calculates the height of the target object based on the three-dimensional coordinates of the key skeleton points.
Potential Applications:
- Height measurement in various fields such as architecture, construction, and engineering.
- Body height measurement for medical purposes, fitness tracking, or clothing size determination.
- Object height measurement for inventory management, packaging, or transportation logistics.
Problems Solved:
- Provides a non-contact method for accurately measuring the height of an object.
- Eliminates the need for physical measurements or manual calculations.
- Enables height measurement in real-time or from a single image.
Benefits:
- Offers a convenient and efficient way to measure the height of objects.
- Reduces human error and improves measurement accuracy.
- Can be integrated into existing camera systems or devices.
- Enables height measurement without the need for specialized equipment or tools.
Original Abstract Submitted
A height measurement method includes obtaining an image including a target object and a pose of a camera used when the image is photographed, obtaining pixel coordinates of at least two key skeleton points of the target object in the image, obtaining three-dimensional coordinates of the key skeleton points based on the pose of the camera and the pixel coordinates of the key skeleton points, and determining height data of the target object based on the three-dimensional coordinates of the at least two key skeleton points.
