  • Device and Method for Three-dimensionally Measuring Linear Object
    Publication number: 20210025698
    Abstract: This device for three-dimensionally measuring a linear object includes a stereo camera, a transmission-light illuminator, and an arithmetic device. The stereo camera images a linear object. The transmission-light illuminator faces the stereo camera so that the linear object is placed between the transmission-light illuminator and the stereo camera. The arithmetic device acquires a three-dimensional shape of the linear object. The stereo camera acquires a transmitted-light image of the linear object captured while the linear object is illuminated by the transmission-light illuminator. The arithmetic device acquires the three-dimensional shape of the linear object based on the transmitted-light image.
