  • Patent number: 9996931
    Abstract: In a calibration method a ring-shaped jig is disposed on a machine tool workpiece. The optical axis of a camera is aligned parallel to an axis of the machine tool. The jig is photographed with the horizontal or the vertical direction of the camera aligned with an axial direction other than the signal direction of the machine tool. The circumferential shape of the jig in the photograph is extracted as a contour. The center position of the jig in the image is calculated from the contour while all distortion correction coefficients in tangential and radial directions are ignored and set to zero. The displacements of the main point of the camera are set to zero. The translation distance, which is an external parameter of calibration, is calculated based on the center position of the jig in the image and the known three-dimensional center position of the jig.

  • Publication number: 20180024333
    Abstract: An image capture system including two imaging systems of the same structure each having a wide-angle lens, which includes a front group, a reflection surface, and a rear group arranged in order from an object side, has a field angle larger than 180 degrees, and bends an optical axis of the front group toward the rear group by the reflection surface, and an imaging sensor, obtains an image in a solid angle of 4? radian by combining images imaged by the imaging systems. Each of the two wide-angle lenses includes the reflection surface between the front group and the rear group, the reflection surfaces are made to be common to the two imaging systems. This reduces an interval between lenses nearest to the object side in the front groups of the two wide-angle lenses, thereby reducing a distance between maximum field angles of the two wide-angle lenses.
