  • Publication number: 20240127467
    Abstract: A three-dimensional shape measuring system includes a controller and a camera which images a target object to acquire a base image, in which the controller is configured to previously store three-dimensional shape data for a plurality of known structures, identify at least one structure from the plurality of known structure as at least one reference structure, compute at least one extruded region formed by extruding the at least one reference structure along a predetermined extruding direction based on the three-dimensional shape data, crop out a part of the base image to generate a computational image based on the at least one extruded region and the base image, and measure a shape of the target object based on the computational image.

  • Publication number: 20240029355
    Abstract: A three-dimensional point cloud data processing system includes: one or more cameras that image an object to acquire one or more items of brightness information; and a controller that calculates point cloud data of the object from the one or more items of brightness information. The controller calculates at least one BB, which surrounds the object and is formed by combining one or more rectangles, from at least one of the one or more items of brightness information, and calculates the point cloud data based on the at least one BB and the one or more items of brightness information.

  • Publication number: 20230101718
    Abstract: A three-dimensional shape measurement system includes an image pickup unit, a storage device that stores image pickup conditions required in imaging for measurement as condition information for each of a plurality of combinations of the material and surface property of an object, and a measurement controller that controls driving of the image pickup unit. The measurement controller identifies the material and surface property of the object, specifies image pickup conditions corresponding to the identified material and surface property of the object based on the condition information, causes the image pickup unit to perform the imaging for measurement under the specified image pickup conditions, and measures the shape of the object based on the obtained image for measurement.

  • Patent number: 11024183
    Abstract: An air traffic control support system for more quickly grasping a flight plan in air traffic control is provided. An air traffic control support system 3 includes a learning unit 100 and a prediction unit 200. The learning unit 100 generates a prediction model, based on learning data including a past flight plan and information that affected formulation of the past flight plan. The prediction unit 200 predicts a flight plan, based on information that affects formulation of the flight plan and a prediction model.
