An inspecting apparatus for inspecting a test piece. The inspecting apparatus includes a test piece holding mechanism for holding the test piece, the test piece holding mechanism having a mounting portion formed from a transparent member having upper and lower exposed surfaces, the upper exposed surface of the transparent member functioning as a mounting surface for mounting the test piece, whereby the test piece mounted on the mounting surface of the mounting portion is adapted to be held by the test piece holding mechanism. The inspecting apparatus further includes an imaging mechanism for imaging the test piece held by the test piece holding mechanism, the imaging mechanism having a first imaging unit provided above the mounting portion, a second imaging unit provided below the mounting portion, and a connecting portion for connecting the first imaging unit and the second imaging unit.

Working efficiency in position matching of multiple point cloud data displayed on a display is improved. A point cloud data processing device includes a highlight controlling part. In a condition in which a first point cloud containing multiple markers for position matching and a second point cloud containing multiple markers for position matching are displayed on a display, when a marker of one of the first point cloud and the second point cloud is specified, the highlight controlling part highlights a corresponding marker of the other point cloud.

Point cloud data processing device, point cloud data processing method, and point cloud data processing program

Systems and methods are described for colorizing a point cloud comprising a set of point cloud data points associated with a particular object using a plurality of candidate images. For each respective data point in the set of point cloud data points, an image is selected, from a subset of the plurality of candidate images that include an un-occluded point of the particular object corresponding to the respective data point, that has a shortest subject distance to the un-occluded point of the particular object. The respective data point is colorized based on a color in the selected image of the un-occluded point of the particular object corresponding to the respective data point.

Point cloud colorization with occlusion detection

An image processing apparatus is provided to display an image on a screen, the image facilitating visual ascertainment of relationships between each of a plurality of items of point cloud data and point cloud data arising from combining the plurality of items of point cloud data. The image processing apparatus includes a display controlling section configured to 3D display combination point cloud data combining a plurality of items of point cloud data obtained from a plurality of viewpoints and allow 3D display of one item out of the plurality of items of point cloud data obtained from the plurality of viewpoints.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and image processing program

A technique for facilitating understanding of a stereoscopic structure of an object in a 3-D image of point cloud data is provided. An image processing device includes a point cloud data display controlling unit, a marker display controlling unit, and a specified point cloud display controlling unit. The point cloud data display controlling unit displays a 3-D image of point cloud data on a screen. The marker display controlling unit displays a marker to specify a cut section of the 3-D image of the point cloud data. The specified point cloud display controlling unit displays a point cloud that constitutes the cut section among the point cloud data, as another image.

Image processing device, image processing method, and image processing program

Problems occurring due to a difference in point of view between cameras in compositing a panoramic image by using multiple images taken by the cameras are solved. An image processing device includes an image data receiving unit, a panoramic image generating unit, a designation receiving unit, and a single photographic image selecting unit. The image data receiving unitreceives data of a first still image and a second still image. The panoramic image generating unitprojects the first still image and the second still image on a projection sphere to generate a composited image. The designation receiving unitreceives designation of a specific position in the panoramic image. The single photographic image selecting unitselects one of the first still image and the second still image, which contains the designated position received by the designation receiving unit

A disc apparatus includes: a housing; a recording/reproducing unit provided in the housing for recording and/or reproducing information in and/or from a disc-shaped recording medium; an insertion/ejection port provided on the housing through which the disc-shaped recording medium is inserted and ejected, the insertion/ejection port having a width greater than the diameter of the disc-shaped recording medium; a disc transport mechanism provided in the housing to transport the disc-shaped recording medium between the insertion/ejection port and the recording/reproducing unit; and an identification mechanism to identify the disc-shaped recording medium as a first disc-shaped recording medium having a first diameter or a second disc-shaped recording medium having a diameter smaller than the first diameter The identification mechanism includes a pair of levers, a pair of gear members, urging means, a stopper, first detection means, and control means.

Disc apparatus for recording and/or reproducing information for use with a large diameter disc which prevents use with a small diameter disc

In a disk player in that switching between chucking a disk-like recording medium to a turntable and canceling the chucking is performed with forward movement and backward movement of a slider, the slider is maintained stable at an initial position and a forward movement position. A rack member is arranged so as to overlap the slider bottom; a lever is provided so as to have an engaging pin engaging with an engaging hole of the slider and with an engaging hole of the rack member; and moreover, the engaging hole of the rack member includes a first recess and a second recess, so that without an external force applied to the slider, the position of the slider is stably maintained with the engaging pin of the lever at the forward movement position and the initial position.
