Abstract: A projector can be configured to project a pattern into a camera's field of view. A structural setting can be configured to receive an object in a predetermined position in the field of view. A sensor can be configured to detect that the object is in the predetermined position. A processor can be configured to, in response to the sensor detecting that the object is in the predetermined position, enable operation of the camera. The camera can be configured to obtain one or more images including the pattern on first and second surfaces of the structural setting, and the pattern on the object while the object is in the predetermined position. The processor can be configured to determine dimensions of the object based upon positional information for the first and second surface of the structural setting.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclose a dimensioner apparatus including a projector configured to project structured light in a field of view of the dimensioner apparatus, a first image capturing device configured to capture a first structured light image of the field of view, and a processor configured to analyze the first structured light image to identify a hole region in the first structured light image. The hole region in the first structured light image indicates a presence of a structured light absorbing platform that absorbs the projected structured light. Further, the processor is configured to operate the dimensioner apparatus in a two-dimensional (2-D) mode based on the identification of the hole region. The dimensioner apparatus, in the 2-D mode, is configured to determine one or more dimensions of a 2-D object placed on the absorbing platform.
