OBJECT SHAPE RECOGNITION SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFOR, PROGRAM FOR OBJECT SHAPE RECOGNITION, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING THE PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To recognize the shape of a thin-plate shaped flexible object in a short time. SOLUTION: A system recognizes an object shape 1 by comparing the shape of an object image data acquired by an image acquisition means with the shape of corrected three-dimensional model data. The three-dimensional model data is constituted of a plurality of nodal points 11 preset on the object, links 12 each having a predetermined length and connecting mutually neighboring nodal points, and sub-links 13 each having a predetermined length and extending from each nodal point toward an outer edge of the object with a predetermined angle to the link. Further, the three-dimensional model data are corrected based on each element of the nodal points, the links and the sub-links of the three-dimensional model data. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
