Abstract

Object and its dimension detection from images and videos can be very helpful for everyday use. This paper discusses the use of the system to detect an object in real time and provide its dimensions upon demand. The object dimension measurement and detection are some of the important topics of computer vision which helps in automating the manual tasks. Human beings are capable of recognizing and spotting objects in images and videos, but computers lack that ability with out prior training. To train the computer, we must use machine learning, computer vision, and object detection algorithms. This project provides the way to detect and measure an object’s dimension in real time from a webcam. To estimate the object’s dimension in real time, we have utilized the OpenCV and NumPy libraries. Computer vision provides support to computers to observe and understand. Computer vision helps the computer in understanding a 3D surrounding from a 2D image and trains the computer to perform different functions. It also helps in Human Computer Interaction effectively because it is able to differentiate the objects with surroundings and provide us with the key information.
