Object Dimension Measurement System using Image Processing

Abstract
In normal height measuring system, expensive equipments with complex calculations are used to
measure an object dimension. The project proposes a solution to do object dimension measurement
using a combination of image processing techniques and a limited hardware measuring systems.
This project aims at demonstrating real time video capturing and analyzing using digital image
processing. The camera input of an object is taken by placing the camera in perpendicular to the
object to me measured. Also the distance between the camera and the object is measured using a
precise digital distance measurement unit. By knowing the focus details of the camera and the
distance one can calculate the size of the object in real time. The distance can be altered by moving
the object keeping the perpendicular axis of the camera constant.
Thus the dimension of various size objects at various distances can be found out in a low cost and
efficient manner.

Existing System
1. Complex hardware based techniques.
2. Large Distance sensors are needed.
3. Sometimes measuring tapes and many men are involved in measuring large structures such
as buildings.


Proposed System
1. Uses image processing techniques and lesser hardware.
2. Can be used by any person.
3. Can measure large objects such as high rise buildings with less man power.
