EVALUATING IMAGE VALUES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for evaluating an image of an item, the method comprising the steps of:
- capturing a first image of the item at a first time, the first image comprising a view of two or more surfaces of the item;
computing a measurement of at least one dimension of one or more of the two or more surfaces based on the first captured image;
storing the computed first measurement;
capturing a second image of the item at a second time, which is subsequent to the first time, the second image comprising a view of at least one of the two or more surfaces;
computing a measurement of the at least one dimension of the at least one of the two or more surfaces;
comparing the computed measurement of the at least one dimension of the at least one of the two or more surfaces to the stored first measurement; and
evaluating the computed measurement of the at least one dimension of the at least one of the two or more surfaces based on the comparing step.

Abstract
Images of items are evaluated. A first image of the item, having a view of two or more of its surfaces, is captured at a first time. A measurement of at least one dimension of one or more of the surfaces is computed and stored. A second image of the item, having a view of at least one of the two or more surfaces, is captured at a second time, subsequent to the first time. A measurement of the dimension is then computed and compared to the stored first measurement. The computed measurement is evaluated based on the comparison.

19. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions, which when read and executed by a computer processor are operable for performing, controlling or causing a process for evaluating an image of an item, the process comprising:
-
capturing a first image of the item at a first time, the first image comprising a view of two or more surfaces of the item; computing a measurement of at least one dimension of one or more of the two or more surfaces based on the first captured image; storing the computed first measurement; capturing a second image of the item at a second time, which is subsequent to the first time, the second image comprising a view of at least one of the two or more surfaces; computing a measurement of the at least one dimension of the at least one of the two or more surfaces; comparing the computed measurement of the at least one dimension of the at least one of the two or more surfaces to the stored first measurement; and evaluating the computed measurement of the at least one dimension of the at least one of the two or more surfaces based on the comparing the computed measurement of the at least one dimension of the at least one of the two or more surfaces to the stored first measurement.

20. A computer system, comprising:
-
a bus component; a processor component coupled to the bus component and operable for processing data; and a non-transitory storage component coupled to the bus component and comprising instructions, which when read and executed by a processor component are operable for performing, controlling or causing a process for evaluating an image of an item, the process comprising; capturing a first image of the item at a first time, the first image comprising a view of two or more surfaces of the item; computing a measurement of at least one dimension of one or more of the two or more surfaces based on the first captured image; storing the computed first measurement; capturing a second image of the item at a second time, which is subsequent to the first time, the second image comprising a view of at least one of the two or more surfaces; computing a measurement of the at least one dimension of the at least one of the two or more surfaces; comparing the computed measurement of the at least one dimension of the at least one of the two or more surfaces to the stored first measurement; and evaluating the computed measurement of the at least one dimension of the at least one of the two or more surfaces based on the comparing the computed measurement of the at least one dimension of the at least one of the two or more surfaces to the stored first measurement.
