  • Patent number: 11248903
    Abstract: A three-dimension measurement device includes a moving device, a projecting device, a surface-type image-capturing device and a processing device. The moving device carries an object, and moves the object to a plurality of positions. The projecting device generates a first light to the object. The surface-type image-capturing device senses a second light generated by the object in response to the first light to generate a phase image on each of the positions. The processing device is coupled to the surface-type image-capturing device and receives the phase images. The processing device performs a region-of-interest (ROI) operation for the phase images to generate a plurality of ROI images. The processing device performs a multi-step phase-shifting operation for the ROI images to calculate the surface height distribution of the object.

    Abstract: A virtual touch system including a head-mounted see-through display device, a micro-image display, at least two micro image-capturing devices, and an image processing unit is provided. The head-mounted see-through display device has a holder and an optical lens group that allows an image light of a real scene to directly pass through and reach an observing location. The micro-image display disposed on the holder of the head-mounted see-through display device casts a display image to the observing location through the optical lens group to generate a virtual image plane, wherein the virtual image plane contains a digital information. The micro image-capturing devices disposed at the holder capture images of the real scene and a touch indicator. The image processing unit coupled to the head-mounted see-through display device recognizes the touch indicator and calculates a relative location of the touch indicator on the virtual image plane for the micro-image display.
