  • Patent number: 7257248
    Abstract: A system and method for non-contact measurement of a complex part is provided. The method comprises acquiring an image of the complex part including imposed laser lines on the complex part using at least one imaging device, determining a span of interest of the complex part being representative of at least a portion of the complex part and which comprises information related to a plurality of dimensions of a surface of the complex part, extracting information corresponding to the laser lines from the span of interest to reduce computation and further extracting a plurality of unique points from the information corresponding to the laser lines, the plurality of unique points representing the plurality of dimensions of the surface. The plurality of unique points is used for reconstructing a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the surface of the complex part.

  • Publication number: 20060173268
    Abstract: Systems and methods for interacting effectively with three-dimensional data are provided such that a data acquisition system of an imaging system can be guided appropriately to gather relevant information from the object being imaged. In one embodiment, the imaging system includes the data acquisition system for obtaining a three-dimensional image of the object; and a processor coupled to the data acquisition system. The processor may be configured for receiving a user interface input based on interaction with the three-dimensional image, and for providing multiple parameters to the data acquisition system based on the user interface input. These parameters may be used for further acquisition by the data acquisition system.
