An information processing apparatus includes: an obtaining unit configured to obtain a manually-taken object image group, the manually-taken object image group including a plurality of object images, the plurality of object images being generated by taking images of an object while moving a focal position of an image pickup device manually; a first calculator capable of calculating, based on pieces of contrast information on the plurality of object images in the obtained manually-taken object image group, a first in-focus position of the image pickup device relative to the object by performing fitting using a predetermined function; and a driver capable of moving, based on an autofocus instruction input by a user, the focal position of the image pickup device to the calculated first in-focus position.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, program, and vision measuring apparatus with high speed autofocus

A coordinate measuring machine includes a body, a controller configured to control the driving of the body, and an operation unit configured to provide a command to the controller via, for instance, an operation lever to manually operate the body. A contact detection sensor is attached to the operation unit. The controller includes a sensor signal determiner configured to detect an operation-enable signal in response to a detection signal from the contact detection sensor.

Erroneous motion prevention mechanism and method of industrial machine

An image measuring apparatus includes a sample stage having a placement surface on which an object to be measured is placed; an image capture apparatus facing the placement surface of the sample stage and capturing an image of the object to be measured; and a pattern projection apparatus projecting a predetermined pattern onto the sample stage, the predetermined pattern providing a reference for at least one of a placement position and direction of the object to be measured on the placement surface.
