  • Publication number: 20250014173
    Abstract: A three-dimensional data generation method includes the following processing. A processor acquires two or more images of a component inside a turbine. The processor detects two or more correspondence regions that are the same regions in at least two images. The processor determines whether at least part of a region of each image is a change region or a non-change region. The processor generates three-dimensional data by using a correspondence region determined to be the change region without using a correspondence region determined to be the non-change region.

  • Patent number: 11662565
    Abstract: A microscope system 1 includes an eyepiece 104, an objective 102 that guides light from a sample to the eyepiece 104, and a tube lens 103 that is disposed on a light path between the eyepiece 104 and the objective 102 and forms an optical image of the sample on the basis of light therefrom. The microscope system 1 further includes a projection apparatus 133 that projects first and second projection images onto an image plane on which the optical image is formed, in a manner such that the first and second projection images are capable of being distinguished from each other. The first projection image is based on an analysis result provided by a computer for the digital image data of the sample. The second projection image is based on an input operation performed by a user and includes at least input information provided by the user.

  • Publication number: 20230082064
    Abstract: A control method for displaying inspection images causes a processor to display an image of a model of an inspection object including a plurality of inspection sites, in a first display region and display first inspection information relevant to at least one inspection site, in a second display region, where the at least one inspection site is selected from the plurality of inspection sites in the image of the model displayed in the first display region. The control method further causes the processor to display inspection information prior to the first inspection information, as second inspection information relevant to the model, in a third display region, concurrently with one or more of the first display region and the second display region.
