    摘要: A system for recognizing a three-dimensional object includes a plurality of image pickup apparatus, e.g. TV cameras, by which images of the object are picked up from at least three directions. Feature points are extracted from each of at least three images obtained. Two sets of feature points on epipolarly lines are formed which lines are formed on at least two of the images by a feature point on another image. A set of feature points is selected which satisfy a restricting condition determined by the relationship of the image picking-up direction.

    摘要: The position and orientation of a geometric figure are detected by sequentially producing the coordinates with respect to an orthogonal coordinate system of pixels which make up an image of the geometric figure, by singling out from these sequentially produced coordinates of these pixels the coordinates of certain characteristic pixels of these pixels which make up an image of the geometric figure, and by comparing these coordinates of these certain characteristic pixels with stored information. Preferably, the certain characteristic pixels are: that pixel, of those which have the least value of one coordinate, which has the least value of the other coordinate; that pixel, of those which have the greatest value of the one coordinate, which has the least value of the other coordinate; that pixel, of those which have the least value of the other coordinate, which has the least value of the one coordinate; and that pixel, of those which have the greatest value of the other coordinate, which has the least value of the one coordinate. A device is also disclosed for performing this method.

    摘要: A digital control color illumination system is disclosed for use in a visual system of an industrial robot or the like. This system comprises: image memories to store the color data regarding illumination patterns of three primary colors of red, green, and blue; video signal producing circuits each for reading out the data from the image memory and converting it to the video signal indicative of the illumination pattern; video projectors each for projecting the light of the illumination pattern represented by the video signal onto an object to be illuminated; and a color TV camera to pick up the object image. The image data picked up is processed by a computer system to produce the data which is stored into the image memories. With this illumination system, the scanning of the illumination patterns, and the change, adjustment, storage, and the like of the illumination patterns can be executed by software in accordance with programs preliminarily stored in the program memory in the computer system.

    摘要: A pattern analyzer includes a sensor (19) for picking up an image of a pattern at a plurality of sampling points and for producing a shade signal representing the depth of shade at each sampling point. The sampled shade signals are temporarily stored in a memory (23) and, at the same time, are classified into different shade depths by a histogram forming circuit (30, 31, 32 and 33). The result of the classification is such that an amount of classified shade signals reaches a peak at two different shade depths. A threshold level determining circuit (34, 35, 36 and 37) is provided for determining a threshold level of shade depth between the two different shade depths. Also, a comparator (38, 39, 40 and 41) is provided for comparing the shade signals stored in the memory with the threshold level and for producing a 1-bit binary signal for each shade signal.
