UNTOUCHED 3D MEASUREMENT WITH RANGE IMAGING
First Claim
1. A user terminal comprising:
- an input/output mechanism;
an image capture device, wherein said image capture device is configured to capture an image of a scene upon receipt of a pre-defined input from said input/output mechanism;
a range imaging image capture device, wherein said image capture device is configured to create a depth map of said scene upon receipt of said pre-defined input from said input/output mechanism;
a processor, wherein said processor is configured, in response to said image capture and said depth map creation, to combine said image and said depth map into a model of said scene;
a memory, wherein said memory is configured to store said depth map and said image; and
a display wherein said display is configured to display said model.

Abstract
A user terminal contains an input/output mechanism, an image capture device used to capture an image of a scene, a range imaging image capture device used to create a depth map of the scene, a processor that combine the image and the depth map into a model of the scene, a memory that stores the depth map and the image, and a display that displays the model. Utilizing this system, a user is able to view, measure, and calculate 3D data representing real world data, including but not limited to position, distance, location, and orientation of objects viewed in the display. The retrieves this information by making inputs into the terminal, including, in an embodiment of the invention, touch inputs selecting images on a touch screen.
