Abstract
The present disclosure provides an area wide object dimensioning system for an object in motion, such as mounted to a vehicle (e.g., a lift truck). One or more sensors (e.g., a radar system, an acoustic sensor, an image capture system, a LIDAR system, a microwave system, etc.) are located within the area to capture data corresponding to one or more dimensions of the object as it travels through the area. Control circuitry receives the data from the sensors, which is converted into multiple dimensions corresponding to one or more surfaces of the object. Surface dimensions are employed to determine a shape, volume, orientation, or area of the surfaces of the object, and/or the object itself, based on the multiple surface dimensions.
