  • Method and system for measuring dimensions of a target object
    Patent number: 10262222
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring dimensions of a target object. The method comprises acquiring depth data representative of the physical space, the depth data comprising data of the target object, converting the depth data into a point cloud, extracting at least one plane from the point cloud, identifying a ground plane, eliminating the ground plane from the point cloud, extracting at least one point cluster from the remaining point cloud, identifying a point cluster of the target object, estimating dimensions of the target object based on the point cluster of the target object.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: April 16, 2019
    Assignee: SICK INC.
    Inventors: Alexander Shteinfeld, Richard Lydon, George Liu, Udrekh Gavale

  • Conveyor jam detection system and method
    Patent number: 9477220
    Abstract: A conveyor jam detection system and method includes a distance detector located on one side of a conveyor oriented to detect the distance from the detector to parcels on the conveyor. A controller is responsive to the distance detector and is configured to compare distance measurements, to reset a jam count if different distance measurements over time are greater than a threshold, to increment the jam count if different distance measurements over time are less than the threshold, and output a jam condition signal if the jam count exceeds a set limit.
