Abstract: A three-dimensional measurement system projects patterned light onto a target object, images the target object from different viewpoints to obtain a first image and a second image, obtains first depth information using the first image with a spatially encoded pattern technique, defines a search range for a corresponding point based on parallax between the first image and the second image predicted from the first depth information, and obtains second depth information by performing stereo matching for the defined search range using the first image and the second image. The second depth information has a higher spatial resolution than the first depth information. The patterned light has a combined pattern combining a spatially encoded pattern including a plurality of unit elements arranged regularly and a random pattern including a plurality of random pieces arranged randomly. Each of the plurality of unit elements is an area corresponding to a depth value.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine cylinder head has a water jacket, a plurality of female threaded portions for attaching an exhaust component, and a plurality of bulging portions protruding into the water jacket. The water jacket has inlet portions for receiving cooling water and outlet portions for discharging the cooling water. The inlet portions are disposed in a central position of the water jacket in a cylinder row direction. The outlet portions are disposed on a lateral side of the cylinder head to which the exhaust component is attached. A spacing between the outlet portions is wider than a spacing between the inlet portions. The female threaded portions protrude into the water jacket so that the cooling water crosses an area around the female threaded portions in the cylinder row direction. The bulging portions extend from ends of the female threaded portions towards where the inlet portions are located.
