Publication number: 20110081072Abstract: [PROBLEM] Provided are an image processing device, an image processing method, and a program which are capable of high density restoration and which are also strong to image processing. [METHOD FOR SOLUTION] An image processing device (10) mainly consists of a projector (12) serving as a projection means, a camera (14) as a photographing means, and an image processing means (16) consisting of, for example, a personal computer. The image processing means (16) acquires the intersection point between patterns from a photographed image and calculates a first solution including degree of freedom by using the constraint condition of a first tentative plane and a second tentative plane including the intersection point and the constraint condition obtained from the positional relationship between the projector (12) and the camera (14). The degree of freedom is cancelled by primary search, thereby restoring a three-dimensional shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2009Publication date: April 7, 2011Applicant: TECHNO DREAM 21 CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi Kawasaki, Ryo Furukawa, Ryusuke Sagawa, Yasushi Yagi

Patent number: 7724379Abstract: It is possible to measure a 3-dimensional shape by using a projector and an imaging device without requiring calibration in advance. A pattern light is applied from a projector to an object and this is imaged by an imaging device to capture an image as an input. An in-camera parameter, an in-projector parameter, a parameter of positional relationship between the camera and the projector are estimated. By using the estimation results, a 3-dimensional shape of the object is measured. When a laser pointer is attached to the projector and a laser is applied to the object for capturing an image as an input, scaling of the object shape can also be estimated. Moreover, when measuring a plurality of objects or measuring the same objects a plurality of times, the accuracy of the 3-dimensional shape respectively obtained can be increased by simultaneously processing the inputs.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2005Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Technodream21, Inc.Inventors: Hiroshi Kawasaki, Ryo Furukawa
