  • Publication number: 20250251236
    Abstract: A stereoscopic scanning device is applied by a stereoscopic scanning method and includes a projection module and an imaging module. The projection module includes a pattern creator, a visible light source and an invisible light source. The pattern creator and the visible light source create a structured light pattern projected onto a target object. The invisible light source emits an invisible light beam to the target object for generating an excitation light beam. The imaging module is disposed adjacent to the projection module and includes a light splitting component, a first optical sensor and a second optical sensor. The light splitting component respectively reflects the structured light pattern and the excitation light beam and allows passing of the structured light pattern and the excitation light beam. The first optical sensor receives light reflected from the light splitting component. The second optical sensor receives light passing through the light splitting component.

  • Publication number: 20250254283
    Abstract: A stereoscopic scanning device is applied by a stereoscopic scanning method and includes a projection module and an imaging module. The projection module emits a visible beam to a structural light generator to project a structural light pattern onto a target object, and further emits an invisible beam to the target object for generating a first excitation beam and/or a second excitation beam. The imaging module includes an optical sensor and a color filter. The optical sensor receives the structural light pattern and the excitation beams. The color filter has a first filtering region and a second filtering region. The first filtering region allows penetration of the visible beam and the first excitation beam, and blocks transmission of the second excitation beam. The second filtering region allows penetration of the visible beam and the second excitation beam, and blocks transmission of the firs excitation beam.

  • Patent number: 9547386
    Abstract: A touch projection system includes a light source device, a micromirror device, and an image-capturing device. The micromirror device can provide three reflection directions. The micromirror device can selectively reflect projection light emitted by the light source device in one of the reflection directions to project the reflected projection light onto a screen to form an image. The micromirror device also can reflect image light from the screen in another one of the reflection directions. Further, the micromirror device can reflect the image light from the screen in the other one of the reflection directions, which has a larger deflection angle, to be received by the image-capturing device, for example for determining a touch operation performed on the screen. Thereby, the limitation of structural interference by other components to the image-capturing device is reduced, so that the touch projection system can be assembled in a compact configuration.

  • Patent number: 9366859
    Abstract: A touch projection system includes a screen, an image-capturing device, a micromirror device, and a TIR prism disposed in front of the micromirror device. The TIR prism includes an optical path compensation structure or a hollowed channel, so that an image light from the screen, traveling through the TIR prism to be reflected by the micromirror device, can travel through the optical path compensation structure or the hollowed channel to avoid a probable optical path difference on the image light due to traveling through the TIR prism. Thereby, the invention can solve that a distortion may be induced in a touch image formed by the image-capturing device receiving the image light reflected by the micromirror device.
