A dynamic dimensioning system includes at least one camera, a range finder, and a tachometer. A computer may be used to perform a dynamic calibration operation for the cameras coupled over a communications network. The dynamic calibration operation includes a calibration estimate routine configured to generate default configuration parameters selected by a user from among a plurality of pre-defined user inputs via a graphical user interface, and a calibration refinement routine configured to refine the default configuration parameters to generate a completed set of calibration parameters that are set for the at least one camera. The dynamic calibration operation may be performed without first performing any static calibration operation.

Dynamically calibrating one or more industrial line cameras simultaneously with a calibration target, packages, and running transport

Systems and methods are provided for determining attributes (such as size and location) of target objects (e.g., tires) utilizing photoelectric sensors. At least two photoelectric sensors are positioned at respective angles relative to a direction of transport of a conveyance mechanism such that the light rays emitted therefrom cross the width of the conveyance mechanism and cross one another at an intersection point. Based, at least in part, upon respective interruption times of the light rays by the target object, and a location of the interruption of the light rays relative to the intersection point, one or more attributes of the target object are determined. Systems and methods further are provided for determining a height profile of a target object utilizing at least one photoelectric sensor.
