Stereo-vision system

摘要

This invention concerns a measuring system for the calculation of dimensions, including area and volume, of objects in various shapes. In particular, it concerns miniature 3D measuring equipment that is perfectly suitable for 3D measurements of subcutaneous tumors in mice. The primary objective of this invention then also consists of a measuring system for 3D measurements of objects in various shapes, which includes a handheld device that has at least 1 camera, 1 projector and a measuring chamber. In another implementation, the handheld device will have 2 cameras and a projector and the 3D measurement is based on stereo-vision. Another objective is directed to ensuring that said handheld device also has a processor module, a user interface, a power supply, a data communication interface, and exchangeable measuring chambers which provide the flexibility and autonomy to speed up the measurement procedure, and significantly improve the reproducibility of the measurement.

主权项

1. A measuring system for 3D measurements of objects in various shapes comprising a handheld device having at least one sensor, at least one measurement source and an exchangeable measuring chamber, wherein said exchangeable measuring chamber is connected to the handheld device; wherein said exchangeable measuring chamber consists of upright faces that fit over the object to be measured on one side and fit on the opposite side on a measuring head of the handheld device; and wherein said exchangeable measuring chamber has dimension-depending recognition points that, in interaction with the measuring head, allow the handheld device to recognize the dimensions of said exchangeable measuring chamber and set up measuring parameters.
