  • Patent number: 9767377
    Abstract: A pattern extracting device, an image projecting device, a pattern extracting method, and a program capable of extracting all the feature points by interpolating defective feature points even when there are defective feature points of an image pattern. The pattern extracting device extracts feature points to be interpolated based on a captured image of a projected image pattern, and interpolates the feature point to be interpolated by using near-by feature points that are located near the feature point, divides the near-by feature points into groups, calculates extrapolation coordinates of the groups, and calculates coordinates of the feature point to be interpolated in view of significance of the extrapolation.

  • Patent number: 9454808
    Abstract: A pattern processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit, an adjacent element identification unit, a connection unit, and an assigning unit. The acquisition unit acquires a pattern image in which pattern elements are arrayed in a grid, together with coordinate information of the pattern elements. The adjacent element identification unit identifies, for each of the pattern elements thus acquired, adjacent elements, in at least two directions, each having the shortest distance to the each of the pattern elements. The distances between the each of the pattern elements and other pattern elements are calculated using the coordinate information. The connection unit connects and groups, as a connected component, the pattern elements that are adjacent to one another. The assigning unit assigns position information in the array in order from the pattern element which is a starting point, among the pattern elements included in the connected component, according to a predetermined regularity.
