Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods are provided to analyze at least one sensor of a computing device to determine that the computing device is in a substantially flat position on the first surface, activate a camera comprising a depth sensor, and detect a second surface in a camera view of the camera. the computing device further analyzes pixel measurements from the depth sensor in a predefined area of the detected second surface to determine a minimum measurement of all of the pixel measurements in the predefined area of the detected surface, causes display of the minimum measurement from the first surface to the second surface overlaid on an image of the first and second surface in the camera view on a user interface of the computing device, and captures an image of the display.
