First Claim
Patent Images
1. A dimensioning system comprising:
- a range sensor for capturing range images of a field of view;
an adjustable range-sensor support to physically support and position the range sensor in a range-sensor pose;
a computing device communicatively coupled to the range sensor, the computing device capable of executing adjustment software;
wherein said adjustment software generates adjustment messages to facilitate the adjustment of the range-sensor pose, the adjustment software configuring the computing device to;
(i) receive the range images, (ii) compute, using the range images, a pose difference, (iii) generate, based on the pose difference, adjustment messages, and (iv) transmit the adjustment messages to a display communicatively coupled to the computing device.

Abstract
A dimensioning system including a computing device running an alignment software program is disclosed. The alignment software uses range information from a range sensor in order to generate alignment messages. The alignment messages may help a user define a frame of reference and align the dimensioning system'"'"'s range sensor for improved dimensioning performance.
