Abstract:
A machine vision system program editing environment including synchronized selection and/or identification of related features in a plurality of different user interface windows is provided. In particular, one of the windows is an editing window where a part program representation is displayed for editing by a user. In one embodiment, a user may select data or another feature of interest in a window that is not the editing window (e.g., a results window, or graphical workpiece inspection feature display window) and the associated part program instruction representation is automatically highlighted and/or selected in the editing window. Conversely, a part program instruction representation may be selected by a user in the editing window and the associated results or feature in another window is automatically highlighted and/or selected. User interface navigation, rapid program quality assessment, and overall part program creation and editing efficiency are significantly enhanced in such an editing environment.
Abstract:
When generating a measurement plan for measuring X-ray CT that performs X-ray irradiation while rotating a test object, and in doing so acquires projection image data, reconstructs volume data from the projection image data, and measures a targeted measurement location in the volume data, the present invention calculates required measurement accuracy and a measurement field of view range based on tolerance information included in CAD data of the test object and a measurement location on the test object defined by a measurement operator ahead of time, and automatically generates, from this information, an optimized measurement plan that minimizes the number of measurements.
Abstract:
An X-ray CT measuring apparatus configured to emit an X-ray from an X-ray source while rotating a subject arranged on a rotary table, and obtain a tomographic image of the subject by reconstructing projection images, includes an imaging unit for imaging the subject on the rotary table from above or sideways, an obtaining unit for obtaining an image of the subject while rotating the subject, a calculating unit for calculating a maximum outer diameter of the subject during rotation by using the obtained image of the subject, and a setting unit for setting a movement limit of the rotary table on the basis of the maximum outer diameter.

Abstract:
A control unit shifts an imaging unit relatively with respect to a stage to take an image of a measuring object at a plurality of places by the imaging unit and thereby obtain a plurality of images, and generates a composite image of the measuring object having a range which is wider than an imaging range of the imaging unit by combining the plurality of images. The control unit shifts the imaging unit relatively with respect to the stage such that parts of images adjacent to one another obtained by the imaging unit overlap, and performs an image matching processing that performs image matching of an overlapped portion of the adjacent images. The control unit generates the composite image of the measuring object by joining the adjacent images at a position where the image matching is performed in the image matching processing.
