Position Measurement for Image Application Products

摘要

With the recent evolution of computer performance and its prices declining, image analysis technologies have been largely adopted in industrial fields. For many years, we worked on the development of image analysis technologies and released image-application products. Image analysis technologies are defined as the techniques for the image processing to input image data such as "extraction of contour lines," "separation of bright portions and dark portions," "extracting a brightness changing direction," etc. Further, this is a technique to extract the necessary information by analyzing the image processing data. Among image analysis technologies, position measurement is particularly important. Because position measurement by using image data is performed in non-contact mode, the spatial range for measurement is extensive. We applied our position measurement of various methods to our products.
