36. An apparatus for enrolling a package positioned on a receiving surface, the apparatus comprising:
-
at least one weight sensor in communication with the receiving surface which generates a weight signal indicative of the weight of the package; a camera unit located to view the receiving surface, the camera unit comprising at least one three dimensional camera configured to obtain a depth image of at least a portion of the receiving surface; and a processor in communication with the at least one weight sensor and the camera unit, the processor comprising; 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 processes the depth image to produce dimension data indicative of the size of the package. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64)
