    Inventors: Shinsaku Abe, Kuniyuki Nuka
  • Patent number: 11635293
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a measuring apparatus capable of easily restoring the tracking state when the tracking state of the target is interrupted. One aspect of the present invention is a measuring apparatus that emits a light beam toward a target, captures and tracks the target, and measures the three-dimensional coordinates of the target. The measuring apparatus includes: a light source for emitting light beam; an angle control unit for controlling the emission angle of the light beam emitted from the light source so as to track the moving target; an imaging unit for capturing the target or the vicinity of the target, and a recognition unit for recognizing the target or the specific portion including the target from an image captured by the imaging unit.

  • Patent number: 11630436
    Abstract: The present invention provides a measurement program selection assisting apparatus capable of visually confirming whether a selected measurement program is suitable for an object to be measured. One aspect of the present invention is a measurement program selection assisting apparatus comprising: a measurement program database storing a measurement program related to measurement of an object and superimposed display information corresponding to a three-dimensional shape of the object in association with each other; a display unit capable of displaying information defined in a virtual space superimposed on the real space; and a display control unit for acquiring the superimposed display information corresponding to a selected measurement program from the measurement program database and displaying the acquired superimposed display information in a mixed reality on the display unit.

  • Patent number: 11493324
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a measuring apparatus capable of easily grasping a tracking state of a target and performing an efficient measurement. One aspect of the present invention is a measuring apparatus that emits a light beam toward a target, captures and tracks the target, and measures the three-dimensional coordinates of the target. The measuring apparatus comprises: a light source for emitting light beam; an angle control unit for controlling the emission angle of the light beam emitted from the light source so as to track the moving target; a display unit that provided on a device that is wearable by a measurer; a calculation unit for calculating the three-dimensional coordinates of the target based on the emission angle of the light beam and the light returning from the target; and a display control unit that controls information displayed on the display unit based on the three-dimensional coordinates calculated by the calculation unit.
