Title: Image measuring instrument and method of displaying measured results therefrom
Inventor: TAKADA AKIRA
IPC: G06T7/60
Filed: 2001-05-10
Abstract: A part program for a CNC (computerised numerical controlled) image measuring instrument is generated by a method of reading data (e.g. CAD) of the work piece, setting measurement conditions, calculating a size of the work when it is practically imaged and displaying an image of the data with the same size. Then, by selecting an objective graphic to be measured, an edge detection tool is placed for the objective graphic selected. Further, through performing a process to accommodate as many edge detection tools in a determination circle as possible and generating a part program only requiring the least stage movements as well as performing a practical measurement and checking an image obtained from the measured data with an image obtained from the data, information such as an error from a design value can be displayed on a screen.
Patent GB-2409416-A (GB)
Title: Golf swing diagnosis system
Inventor: SHIRAI YOSHIAKI
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2004-12-16
Abstract: A computer 15 captures the colour moving image of the golfer 11 who swings by gripping a golf club 12 having coloured marks M1-M3 attached to the shaft 12a. The computer 15 converts the colour moving image into a plurality of specific still images. This is achieved by executing binarization for each pixel of a plurality of the still images by using threshold colour information and so recognises the pixels which satisfy the thresholds as positions of the coloured marks M1-M3. The specific images required can then be obtained using movement vector analysis of one of the marks M1-M3 or by using the vector angle between two of the coloured marks M1-M3. Other inventions involve differential processing and using the silhouette of the golfer to obtain certain images during the swing. A template of the golfer's arm can be made and this is used to match with image at certain locations in the swing, such as when the arm is horizontal. An address image can be obtained using differential processing by determining when the differential is a minimum.
