  • Patent number: 10739580
    Abstract: To provide an optical-scanning-height measuring device capable of efficiently measuring a shape of a desired portion of a measurement object. Designation of a measurement point on an image of a measurement object S is received. Light emitted from a light emitting section 231 is deflected by the deflecting section and irradiated on the measurement object S. The deflecting section is controlled to irradiate the light on a portion of the measurement object S corresponding to the measurement point. A deflecting direction of the deflecting section or an irradiation position of the light deflected by the deflecting section is detected. Height of the portion of the measurement object S corresponding to the measurement point is calculated on the basis of the deflecting direction of the deflecting section or the irradiation position of the light deflected by the deflecting section and the light reception signal output by the light receiving section.

  • Patent number: 10641598
    Abstract: To provide a three-dimensional measuring device capable of easily measuring a three-dimensional shape of a desired portion of a measurement object in a short time. Designation of a height measurement point and a dimension measurement portion by a user is received. An image of a measurement object S is acquired by an imaging section 220. Light emitted from the light emitting section 231 is deflected by the deflecting section 270 and irradiated on the measurement object S. Height of the portion of the measurement object S corresponding to the designated height measurement point is calculated on the basis of the light reception signal output from the light receiving section. A dimension of a portion of the measurement object S corresponding to the designated dimension measurement portion is calculated on the basis of the image acquired by the imaging section 220.

  • Patent number: 10466042
    Abstract: To provide a shape measuring device that enables a user to easily grasp a rough surface shape of a desired surface of a measurement object. A plurality of designated points are designated on a reference image RI. Light is irradiated on a plurality of portions of the measurement object corresponding to the plurality of designated points. Deviations of a plurality of portions with respect to an approximate plane are calculated. A deviation image is generated on the basis of the deviations. In the deviation image, the deviations of the plurality of portions of the measurement object respectively corresponding to the plurality of designated points are displayed.

  • Patent number: 9866747
    Abstract: There are provided an optical displacement measurement system, an imaging condition optimization method, and an imaging condition optimization program which facilitate setting of an optimal imaging condition. States of a plurality of imaging parameters for setting an imaging condition are set by an imaging setting unit. When the set state of any of the plurality of imaging parameters is changed, a plurality of pieces captured image data according to respective imaging conditions are generated by a light receiving unit. Profile data indicating a profile shape is generated by a profile generation unit based on each piece of generated captured image data. Based on each piece of generated profile data or captured image data corresponding to the profile data, a degree of reliability of a profile shape indicated by the profile data is calculated by a reliability calculation unit.
