Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0169172A1] A hand-held or tool integrated measurement device (10) is provided for quicly and accurately performing non-contact measurements of dimension and/or angles associated with various objects in a home or commercial work area. The measurement device (10) generally includes at least one user input element (18), a non-contact sensor (22), an image processor (24), and display element (26) packaged in a portable housing assembly. In operation, a user initiates the measurement by activating the user input element (18) associated with the measurement device (10). The non-contact sensor (22) receives a trigger signal from the user input element (18) and is operative to collect image data representative of at least a portion of the surface of a measured object. The image processor (24) in turn receives the image data from the non-contact sensor (22) and is operative to convert the image data into measurement data for the measured object. The display element (26) is operable to visually display the measurement data to the user.
