72 results about "Cardinal point" patented technology

In Gaussian optics, the cardinal points consist of three pairs of points located on the optical axis of a rotationally symmetric, focal, optical system. These are the focal points, the principal points, and the nodal points. For ideal systems, the basic imaging properties such as image size, location, and orientation are completely determined by the locations of the cardinal points; in fact only four points are necessary: the focal points and either the principal or nodal points. The only ideal system that has been achieved in practice is the plane mirror, however the cardinal points are widely used to approximate the behavior of real optical systems. Cardinal points provide a way to analytically simplify a system with many components, allowing the imaging characteristics of the system to be approximately determined with simple calculations.

Method for calibrating camera measurement system

This method is characterized in that a ring-shaped jig is disposed on a workpiece on a machine tool, and the optical axis of a camera is aligned parallel to a single axis of the coordinate system of the machine tool. The jig is photographed using the camera in which the horizontal direction or the vertical direction of the camera is aligned with an axial direction other than the signal direction of the machine tool, and the circumferential shape of the jig in the image photographed by the camera is extracted as a contour. The center position of the jig in the image is calculated from the contour while all the distortion correction coefficients in tangential direction and all the distortion correction coefficients in the radial direction are ignored and set to zero. The displacements of the main point of the camera are all set to zero so as to be included in the translation distance of the camera. The translation distance, which is an external parameter of calibration, is calculated on the basis of the center position of the jig in the image and the known three-dimensional center position of the jig.
