  • Patent number: 8422765
    Abstract: A three-dimensional image analysis system, a process device for use in the three-dimensional image analysis system, and a method thereof are provided. The three-dimensional image analysis system is configured to generate a plurality of three-dimensional data of a three-dimensional image. The process device defines a plurality of horizontal scan lines and a plurality of vertical scan lines according to the three dimensional data, determines a preliminary edge information of the three-dimensional image according to the horizontal scan lines and the vertical scan lines, divides the three dimensional data into a plurality of groups, compares the groups to determine a plane information of the three-dimensional image, and determines an edge information of the three-dimensional image according to the preliminary edge information and the plane information. The method is adapted for the process device.

  • Patent number: 8260037
    Abstract: A 3D model reconstruction acquisition includes the steps of preparing a transparent container and at least one image capture device, wherein an object is placed in the transparent container and a liquid is received in the transparent container; keeping the liquid level rising or lowering to allow the liquid level to pass through a surface of the object and then keeping capturing a series of the images; computing a liquid-level equation for each of the images by using curves of the images between the object and the incremental or decremental liquid level confined by the transparent container; computing 3D coordinates of the curves in accordance with the liquid-level equation of each image; and collecting 3D coordinates of all of the curves to create a 3D model of the object. In addition, the acquisition can be done in the environment having water and thus be applied to various environments.
