  • Publication number: 20220141441
    Abstract: When a three-dimensional model of a photographic subject is displayed on a display, and a view operation for, enlarging the three-dimensional model is performed, a desired position on the photographic subject can be easily specified. After a desired position on the photographic subject is specified, a three-dimensional position, on the three-dimensional model, corresponding to the position is identified, and a plurality of captured images each including a pixel corresponding to the identified three-dimensional position are retrieved from a group of captured images obtained by image capturing of the photographic subject. An optimum captured image is determined from among the plurality of retrieved captured images or the priority levels of the plurality of retrieved captured images are determined. The determined optimum captured image is displayed on the display or some or all of the plurality of captured images are displayed on the display in accordance with the determined priority levels.

  • Patent number: 11156567
    Abstract: There are provided a defect inspection apparatus, method, and program for, in a case of using an image of an inspection-target industrial product (test object) to conduct an inspection to check whether defects are present, allowing an image interpreter to precisely and efficiently detect defects. A possible-defect image D3 indicating a crack-like defect and a simulation result image P3 indicating the predicted growth of the crack-like defect are displayed. Sliders L1 and L2 and checkboxes CB1 are used to enable selection of possible defects and simulation results to be displayed. An image interpreter can use the checkboxes CB1 to select a type of possible defect to be displayed, and can use the sliders L1 and L2 to select possible defects to be displayed on the basis of the wall thickness of portions in which possible defects are detected and the size of possible defects.

  • Patent number: 10571404
    Abstract: To test object image data IMG1, images (possible-defect images D1 to D3) representing possible defects detected by an image processing unit 22 are added. Adjacent to sliders L1 and L2, a histogram H1 indicating the number of detected possible defects for each wall thickness and a histogram H2 indicating the number of detected possible defects for each size are displayed, respectively. When a checkbox CB1 corresponding to a type of defect is selected by an operation unit 14, only images of possible defects of the selected type are displayed on the test object image IMG1. When the sliders L1 and L2 are operated by the operation unit 14, only images of possible defects within a wall thickness range selected by the slider L1 and within a size range selected by the slider L2 are displayed, and images of possible defects outside the ranges are erased.
