Abstract:
A film scanner includes a light source, an illumination optical system which illuminates a film surface of a film with a light bundle emitted from the light source after the light bundle is varied in accordance with a film size of the film, and an image pickup optical system which makes the light bundle transmitted through the film surface incident upon an image pickup element after the light bundle is varied in accordance with the size of an effective area of the image pickup element.
Abstract:
A stereo camera with an automatic convergence adjusting device is provided. A stereo-image is captured by a CCD through a stereo adapter. A fiducial light beam in a plane of symmetry which includes a perpendicular bisector line of a segment between the viewpoints of the right and left parallax images, is projected onto a subject from light-emitting equipment. A fiducial spot produced by the fiducial light beam is imaged on both the right and left parallax images and the image loci of the fiducial spot are detected. The convergence of the stereo adapter is adjusted with reference to the image loci of the fiducial mark.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional image-capturing device using a pattern projection method is provided. The device is comprised of a camera and an adapter mounted on the lens barrel of the camera. The first-half area of the camera's CCD captures a pattern image in the invisible range. The second-half area of the CCD captures a texture image in the visible range. The adapter bifurcates the light path of the camera into first and second light paths. A first filter cuts off visible light rays and is disposed in the first light path. A second filter cuts off invisible light rays and is disposed in the second light path. The first and second light paths lead light to the first and second-half areas, respectively. A pattern and texture image are captured simultaneously while a predetermined pattern in the invisible range is projected onto a subject from a pattern projection device of the adapter
Abstract:
A positioning mechanism includes a moving body which can be moved in accordance with a drive force supplied from a drive source, a stopper which defines a movement extremity of the moving body, and a biasing device which engages with the moving body when the moving body is moved to the vicinity of the movement extremity and which converts, after engagement, the force from the moving body into a force to bias the moving body toward the stopper.
