  • Publication number: 20110081072
    Abstract: [PROBLEM] Provided are an image processing device, an image processing method, and a program which are capable of high density restoration and which are also strong to image processing. [METHOD FOR SOLUTION] An image processing device (10) mainly consists of a projector (12) serving as a projection means, a camera (14) as a photographing means, and an image processing means (16) consisting of, for example, a personal computer. The image processing means (16) acquires the intersection point between patterns from a photographed image and calculates a first solution including degree of freedom by using the constraint condition of a first tentative plane and a second tentative plane including the intersection point and the constraint condition obtained from the positional relationship between the projector (12) and the camera (14). The degree of freedom is cancelled by primary search, thereby restoring a three-dimensional shape.

  • Patent number: 7724379
    Abstract: It is possible to measure a 3-dimensional shape by using a projector and an imaging device without requiring calibration in advance. A pattern light is applied from a projector to an object and this is imaged by an imaging device to capture an image as an input. An in-camera parameter, an in-projector parameter, a parameter of positional relationship between the camera and the projector are estimated. By using the estimation results, a 3-dimensional shape of the object is measured. When a laser pointer is attached to the projector and a laser is applied to the object for capturing an image as an input, scaling of the object shape can also be estimated. Moreover, when measuring a plurality of objects or measuring the same objects a plurality of times, the accuracy of the 3-dimensional shape respectively obtained can be increased by simultaneously processing the inputs.

  • Patent number: 7637702
    Abstract: There is provided a drilling method capable of improving machining accuracy of a printed board drilling apparatus as a whole by decreasing dispersion of the machining accuracy even if it is a multi-spindle printed board drilling apparatus. A misalignment of an axial center of a drill with respect to a designed axial center in X and Y directions is detected in advance per a certain number of revolutions of each spindle that rotates the drill. Holes of two or more types of diameter are made on a printed board by making holes of at least one diameter, e.g., an exposure master hole, per each spindle and by making holes of all other diameters almost simultaneously by all of the spindles.
