  • Publication number: 20240060771
    Abstract: The three-dimensional measurement system 1 pertaining to a first embodiment of the present disclosure, whereby the three-dimensional shape of a measurement object can be accurately measured regardless of the position of the measurement object, comprises a three-dimensional measurement unit 32 that measures the position and shape of the measurement object using a three-dimensional sensor 20 that measures a distance to the measurement object, a robot 10 that moves the three-dimensional sensor 20 or the measurement object, a distance measurement unit 33 that measures the distance between the three-dimensional sensor 20 and the measurement object, and a measurement orientation setting unit 34 that sets a measurement orientation of the robot 10 such that the distance between the three-dimensional sensor 20 and the measurement object is a prescribed reference distance on the basis of the distance between the three-dimensional sensor 20 and the measurement object, measured by the distance measurement unit 33.

  • Publication number: 20240029228
    Abstract: The present invention definitively and efficiently calculates a three-dimensional plane of a workpiece to be measured by automating the mask processing. A mask-setting device which, when obtaining three-dimensional information about a workpiece by using a three-dimensional sensor, sets a mask which makes three-dimensional points outside a measurement target region not usable in the calculation of a three-dimensional plane, said device being equipped with an outline extraction unit for subjecting a two-dimensional image of the workpiece which is captured by a camera to pattern recognition, and extracting an outline of the workpiece therefrom, a height information acquisition unit for acquiring height information about the outline from a distance image among the three-dimensional information acquired by the three-dimensional sensor; and a mask-setting unit for setting a mask in a region outside the workpiece on the basis of the height information.
