  • Publication number: 20230251753
    Abstract: A method for specifying a position through touch input in a screen displayed on a touch panel display. The position is specified by acquiring an initial contact position with the touch panel display, displaying a position displaying cursor in a position according to the initial contact position, displaying the position displaying cursor in the position according to the initial contact position during the period for which the contact position sensing continues until the distance from the initial contact position to the contact position reaches a predetermined distance and terminating the display of the position displaying cursor where the contact position sensing is terminated before the distance reaches the predetermined distance, and displaying the position displaying cursor in such a way that the position displaying cursor follows movement of the contact position after the distance reaches the predetermined distance.

  • Patent number: 11314374
    Abstract: An image measuring apparatus includes an imager that acquires an image of a measurement target object, a touch panel display that displays the image acquired by the imager and accepts touch input operation of specifying a position in the displayed image, and an edge detector that searches for and detects an edge present in a predetermined range around the in-image specified position specified by a user's touch input operation in the image displayed on the touch panel display. When edges are found in a vicinity of the specified position, the edge detector causes a control object for selecting each of the edges to be displayed on the touch panel display not only in an aspect that prevents a wrong edge from being selected through the touch operation but in an aspect that allows visual recognition of a correspondence between each of the edges and a corresponding control object.

  • Patent number: 10445894
    Abstract: A non-contact 3D measuring system is configured to provide a combined three-dimensional shape of an object to be imaged based on a frame image, which has been captured by a camera while a measuring head is being scanned in an optical axis (Z-axis) direction, and the information on the position at which the image has been acquired. The system includes: a position detector for detecting a scanning position of the measuring head while a plurality of raw images are captured; and a computer for generating an interpolation image by linear interpolation for the captured raw image using the information of the scanning position as well as generating a combined frame image using the interpolation image.

  • Publication number: 20190220185
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an image measurement apparatus images an object to be measured, and measures dimensions and shape of the object to be measured based on an image of the object to be measured displayed on the touch-sensitive panel display. The apparatus comprising: an controller that identifies a command corresponding to a gesture contact-input with respect to the touch-sensitive panel display from a signal output from the touch-sensitive panel display in response to the gesture, and executes the command with respect to a part in the image measurement apparatus, the part being the target of the execution of such command. The gesture is a gesture performed in the state in which the simultaneous touch is made at two or more points.
