Publication number: 20140211982Abstract: An apparatus for enrolling a package is disclosed including: a receiving surface for receiving the package; at least one weight sensor in communication with the receiving surface which generates a weight signal indicative of the weight of the package; at least one video camera which generates a video signal indicative of an image of the package on the receiving surface; and a processor in communication with the at least one weight sensor and the at least one video camera. The processor includes: a weight module which produces, in response to the weight signal, weight data indicative of the weight of the package; and a dimension capture module which produces, in response to the video signal, dimension data indicative of the size of the package. In some embodiments, the processor further includes a recognition module which produces, in response to the video signal, character data indicative of one or more characters present on the package.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2014Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: Proiam, LLCInventors: Mike Murphy, Paul Yarin, Eric Metois, Will Crosby, Wilson Pearce, Mark Durbin

Publication number: 20130329013Abstract: A method of determining dimension information indicative of the dimensions of an object is disclosed, the method including: receiving a depth image of the object; and processing the depth information. The processing may include: determining a region of interest (ROI) in the image corresponding to a corner of the object; generating local normal information indicative of local normals corresponding to points in the image; generating, based at least in part on the ROI and the local normal information, object face information indicative of an association of points in the image with sides of the object; and determining the dimension information based at least in part on the object face information.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2013Publication date: December 12, 2013Applicant: PROIAM, LLCInventors: Eric Metois, Mike Murphy, Mark Durbin
