  • Patent number: 11371837
    Abstract: Projection device switches and projects a plurality of types of pattern images in a unit of projection frame. Imaging device images object to which the pattern image is projected and generates image data. Measurement device discriminates whether each imaging frame is a key frame of the image data obtained by capturing one of the pattern images or a blended frame of the image data obtained by capturing a plurality of the pattern images switched during an exposure period of one frame, and performs measurement based on a space coding method by using at least the image data of the key frame.

  • Patent number: 11218677
    Abstract: A projection system for projecting an image comprises: a visible light projector that projects the image with visible light; an invisible light projector that projects an invisible light image onto the object with invisible light; an imaging device that captures the invisible light image projected from the invisible light projector; and a controller that obtains information regarding reflected light from the object while obtaining three-dimensional measurements of the object to control the image, based on a capture image. The invisible light image includes a bright region and a dark region having a light amount less than the light amount of the bright region. The invisible light projector emits the invisible light to cause the light amount of the dark region in the invisible light image to be more than or equal to an offset value.
