GUEST MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A guest measurement system includes a controller associated with an attraction measurement area of an individual attraction within a theme park. The guest measurement system includes a controller configured to receive sensor signals indicative of guest characteristics from one or more sensors. The controller includes a processor configured to detect one or more limbs of a guest based in part on the sensor signals, identify a plurality of subregions for an individual limb of the one or more limbs, estimate dimensions for the identified plurality of subregions for the individual limb, and generate a guest height calculation based on the estimated dimensions for the identified plurality of subregions.
1 . A guest measurement system, comprising:
one or more sensors configured to generate sensor signals indicative of a guest distance from a height marker in an attraction measurement area; and
a controller configured to receive one or more sensor signals indicative of the guest distance from the one or more sensors, the controller comprising a processor configured to:
determine that a guest is within a threshold distance from the height marker based on the one or more sensor signals; and
in response to determining that the guest is within a threshold distance from the height marker, initiate a guest measurement, wherein the guest measurement comprises using the one or more sensor signals to identify limbs of the guest, estimating dimensions of subregions of the limbs of the guest based on the height marker, and using the dimensions of the subregions to generate a guest height calculation.
2 . The guest measurement system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors comprises a camera or a depth sensor.
3 . The guest measurement system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors identify the limbs of the guest by determining a right side limb and a corresponding left side limb of a same type.
4 . The guest measurement system of claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to:
determine a first confidence interval of first dimensions for the right side limb and a second confidence interval of second dimensions for the corresponding left side limb; and
determine that the first confidence interval or the second confidence interval exceeds a threshold.
5 . The guest measurement system of claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to:
upon determining that the first confidence interval exceeds the threshold and the second confidence interval does not exceed the threshold, use the first dimensions for subregions of the right side limb and not the second dimensions for subregions of the corresponding left side limb for determining the guest height calculation.
6 . The guest measurement system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
determine a length dimension of a length between joints of the limbs of the guest.
7 . The guest measurement system of claim 1 , wherein the limbs of the guest comprise a leg or an arm.
8 . The guest measurement system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
generate an indication that the guest is qualified for an attraction of an amusement park based in part on the guest height calculation.
9 . The guest measurement system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
determine that the guest distance exceeds the threshold distance from the height marker; and
output an indication that the guest is not located within the threshold distance.
10 . The guest measurement system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
determine assisted ride eligibility for the guest, wherein assisted ride eligibility comprises the guest remaining seated or assisted by an assistive equipment, wherein the assistive equipment comprises a wheelchair, an assisted mobility device, a stroller, or any combination thereof, without requiring the guest to disembark from the assistive equipment based in part on the guest height calculation.
11 . A method of measuring a guest in an attraction measurement area comprising:
receiving one or more sensor signals indicative of a guest distance from a height marker from one or more sensors;
identifying one or more anatomical features of a guest based at least in part on the sensor signals;
estimating a dimension for the one or more anatomical features;
generating a guest height calculation based on the dimension; and
storing the guest height calculation as part of a guest profile of the guest, wherein the guest height calculation occurs once over a period of time.
12 . The method of claim 11 , comprising:
identifying the guest based on guest tracking information;
accessing the guest profile of the guest; and
generating indications of ride eligibility at a plurality of rides using the stored guest height calculation of the guest profile.
13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the height marker is disposed of along an axis of a plane of the attraction measurement area, and wherein the height marker comprises an object of a known height.
14 . The method of claim 11 , comprising:
identifying a plurality of subregions for an individual anatomical feature of the one or more anatomical features;
summing a portion of the plurality of subregions to generate a limb measurement; and
generating the guest height calculation based on the limb measurement.
15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the one or more sensors comprises a camera.
16 . The method of claim 11 , comprising:
selecting a ride seat for the guest based in part on the guest height calculation.
17 . A guest measurement device, comprising:
one or more sensors configured to generate sensor signals indicative of guest characteristics in an attraction measurement area; and
a processor configured to:
activate one or more light emitters to emit photons into an area;
receive, at the one or more sensors, reflected photons;
generate a sensor signal based on receiving the reflected photons;
identify one or more anatomical features of a guest based in part on the sensor signals;
estimate a dimension for the one or more anatomical features; and
generate a guest height calculation based on the dimension.
18 . The guest measurement device of claim 17 , wherein the processor is configured to:
identify a plurality of subregions for an individual anatomical feature of the one or more anatomical features.
19 . The guest measurement device of claim 18 , wherein the processor is configured to:
estimate dimensions for the plurality of subregions of the individual anatomical feature.
20 . The guest measurement device of claim 17 , wherein the processor is configured to:
identify the one or more anatomical features of the guest by determining a right side limb and a corresponding left side limb of a same type.
