  • Patent number: 8433128
    Abstract: A polygonal mark M having a shape in which a direction can be uniquely specified is attached to a predetermined area of an actual model WM of a work to be three-dimensionally recognized. A process of changing the orientation of the actual model WM such that a state in which the mark M is contained in the view of each camera is maintained, and then performing the three-dimensional measurement is executed over a plurality of times. A predetermined number of, or two or more pieces of three-dimensional information is selected from the three-dimensional information restored by each measurement, these pieces of three-dimensional information are aligned and integrated, the information corresponding to the mark is deleted or invalidated from the integrated three-dimensional information, and the three-dimensional information after such a process is set as a three-dimensional model.

  • Publication number: 20100156896
    Abstract: This invention aims to ensure accuracy of a three-dimensional model to be registered. With information a of three-dimensional information a, b, c restored by measuring an actual model of a work, which is a target of three-dimensional recognition, from different directions as a reference, other three-dimensional information b, c are coordinate transformed so as to be aligned with the reference three-dimensional information, and three-dimensional information d including all of three-dimensional information b?, c? after the transformation and the reference three-dimensional information a is created. The three-dimensional information d is temporarily registered as the three-dimensional model. A difference amount among the integrated three-dimensional information a, b?, c? is calculated, and an evaluation index based on the difference value is displayed with an image view of a contour pattern represented by the three-dimensional model.

  • Publication number: 20100111364
    Abstract: This invention aims to create a three-dimensional model of satisfactory accuracy even when adopting a method of performing three-dimensional measurement by arbitrarily changing a positional relationship between an actual model and a camera, and aligning and integrating three-dimensional information restored by each measurement. A polygonal mark M having a shape in which a direction can be uniquely specified is attached to a predetermined area of an actual model WM of a work to be three-dimensionally recognized. A process of changing the orientation of the actual model WM such that a state in which the mark M is contained in the view of each camera is maintained, and then performing the three-dimensional measurement is executed over a plurality of times.

  • Publication number: 20040227816
    Abstract: An intruding object monitoring system comprises a camera mounted on a position so as to look down a monitoring target region including a dangerous source and an information processing apparatus performing information processes for monitoring an intruding object based on a monitoring target region image taken by the camera, and a mounting position of the camera is determined so that the dangerous source is shown at a peripheral part of a viewing field of the camera.
