Publication number: 20230159301Abstract: To provide a 3D data acquisition device, a 3D data acquisition system, and a 3D data acquisition method for an elevator which are capable of improving measurement accuracy of 3D point group data on an inside of a shaft. The 3D data acquisition device for the elevator includes: a housing that constitutes an outer shell; and a plurality of 3D distance imaging sensors which are provided in the housing so as to directly face each of a plurality of side walls of a shaft of the elevator on a horizontal projection plane and which acquire 3D point group data. According to the configuration, measurement accuracy of 3D point group data on the inside of the shaft can be improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2020Publication date: May 25, 2023Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Haruyuki IWAMA, Wataru FUSE, Keisuke SAMBONGI, Yu ENOMOTO, Yasuo WATANABE, Hironori INAYOSHI

Patent number: 10393515Abstract: In a three-dimensional scanner, a scanner main body calculates the position and direction of a depth sensor. The scanner main body also determines a movement candidate, which is a candidate for a position and direction to/in which the depth sensor is to be moved next. Then, the scanner main body acquires a feature within the movement candidate, which is the feature observable by the depth sensor from the movement candidate, and evaluates the stability of mapping performed from the movement candidate through use of the feature within the movement candidate. The scanner main body further presents at least any one of the moving direction or moving speed of the depth sensor to a user based on an evaluation result.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2016Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Ryosuke Kawanishi, Makito Seki, Keisuke Sambongi, Yu Enomoto

Patent number: 10081515Abstract: A measurement apparatus is attached to a guide rail above a car. Next, a measurement by the measurement apparatus is performed, and first dimensional data including dimensional data on an upper part of a shaft is acquired. The measurement apparatus is detached from the guide rail, and the car is moved upward and then stopped. The measurement apparatus is attached to the guide rail below the car after the car is stopped. A measurement by the measurement apparatus is performed, and second dimensional data including dimensional data on a lower part of the shaft is acquired. The acquired first dimensional data and the acquired second dimensional data are integrated, and dimensional data on the entire shaft is created.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2015Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Keisuke Sambongi, Ryoji Tanaka, Shinji Ishiguro
