Systems and methods for scanning and dimensioning items in motion

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for scanning and dimensioning items in motion. In one embodiment, an example system may include a first camera oriented along a vertical axis towards a gap between a first surface and a second surface, a first light emitting array positioned to emit light towards the gap, and a first light receiving array aligned with the light emitting array and configured to detect the light. The first light emitting array and the first light receiving array may be offset from the vertical axis, and the system may be configured to determine a first dimension of an item passing over the gap using the first light emitting array and the first light receiving array.
