Patent number: 11561091Abstract: In measuring a dimension of an object to be measured W made of a single material, a plurality of transmission images of the object to be measured W are obtained by using an X-ray CT apparatus, and then respective projection images are generated. The projection images are registered with CAD data used in designing the object to be measured W. The dimension of the object to be measured W is calculated by using a relationship between the registered CAD data and projection images. In such a manner, high-precision dimension measurement is achieved by using several tens of projection images and design information without performing CT reconstruction.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignees: THE UNIVERSITY OF TOKYO, MITUTOYO CORPORATIONInventors: Yutaka Ohtake, Tasuku Ito, Tomonori Goto, Masato Kon

Patent number: 11004243Abstract: Projection images of reduced resolution are generated by reducing resolution of filtered projection images and/or reducing the number of filtered projection images. Volume data of reduced resolution is generated by performing CT reconstruction using the projection images of reduced resolution. Each voxel of the volume data of reduced resolution is provisionally divided. The provisionally divided voxels are compared in voxel value before and after provisional division. If a difference in voxel value before and after the provisional division is greater than a threshold, the provisional division is determined to be valid, and division is further continued. If the difference in voxel value before and after the provisional division is less than or equal to the threshold, the provisional division is determined to be invalid and the voxel ends being divided.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignees: THE UNIVERSITY OF TOKYO, MITUTOYO CORPORATIONInventors: Yutaka Ohtake, Tomonori Goto, Masato Kon
