1. A system for obtaining measurements of an object, the system comprising:
- a portable image capture device to capture first and second images of a plurality of objects and to transmit the first and second images; and
a processing system comprising a measurement application executable on the processing system, the measurement application comprising;
a pairing module to store a stereo image pair in a memory for each of the plurality of objects, the stereo image pair comprising first and second images of a particular object that were simultaneously captured;
a user interface (UI) module to generate a list of stereo image pairs for display, to generate corresponding first and second images of a selected one of the list of stereo image pairs for display, and to receive;
a first user input designating a first set of points in a first stereo image pair and a second user input designating a second set of points in a second stereo image pair, wherein the first stereo image pair comprises the first image and the second image of a portion of the particular object, and wherein the second stereo image pair comprises another first image and another second image of an opposite portion of the particular object; and
a symmetry module configured to;
define a central reference plane between the first set of points in the first stereo image pair and the second set of points in the second stereo image pair; and
calculate symmetry deviations between the first set of points and the second set of points as a function of the defined central reference plane.

Abstract
A stereoscopic measurement system captures stereo images and determines measurement information for user-designated points within stereo images. The system comprises an image capture device for capturing stereo images of an object. A processing system communicates with the capture device to receive stereo images. The processing system displays the stereo images and allows a user to select one or more points within the stereo image. The processing system processes the designated points within the stereo images to determine measurement information for the designated points.
