Dimensions of a surface feature are determined by capturing an image of the surface feature and determining a scale associated with the image. Structured light may be projected onto the surface, such that the position of structured light in the captured image allows determination of scale. A non-planar surface may be unwrapped. The surface may alternatively be projected into a plane to correct for the scene being tilted with respect to the camera axis. A border of the surface feature may be input manually by a user. An apparatus and system for implementing the method are also disclosed.

Selon l'invention, les dimensions d'une configuration de surface sont déterminées par capture d'une image de la configuration de surface et détermination d'une échelle associée à l'image. Une lumière structurée peut être projetée sur la surface, de sorte que la position de la lumière structurée dans l'image capturée permette d'en déterminer l'échelle. Une surface non planaire peut être non revêtue. En variante, la surface peut être projetée sur un plan afin de corriger la scène en train d'être inclinée par rapport à l'axe de la caméra. Un contour de la configuration de surface peut être saisi manuellement par un usager. On décrit en outre un appareil et un système utilisés pour mettre en oeuvre le procédé de l'invention. unwrapped
