Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that in the following description, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description of the portions already described will be appropriately omitted.

First embodiment

Fig. 1 is a functional block diagram of a measurement information integration apparatus 100 of the present invention. The measurement information integration device 100 includes an image capturing unit 110, a measurement value reading unit 120, a display control unit 130, a display unit 140, and an integrated data generation unit 150.

The imaging unit 110 captures an image including a target object during measurement by the measurement apparatus and the measurement apparatus on which a measurement value of the measurement target is displayed.

The measured value reading unit 120 reads a measured value from a captured image captured by the imaging unit 110. The measurement values may be read from the image by using any technique (for example, the technique disclosed in japanese patent laid-open No. 2016-.

The display control unit 130 causes the display unit 140 to display the captured image. At this time, the display control unit 130 causes the display unit 140 to display a superimposed image in which the measurement value read by the measurement value reading unit 120 and predetermined information associated with the measurement value are superimposed on the periphery of the target object and the measurement device present in the captured image.

Examples of information associated with the measurement values include: the date and time of measurement; a measurer; the equipment used; a target object and a measuring section; and design values, specification values, and acceptability for the design and specification values. The display control unit 130 causes the display unit 140 to display some information appropriately selected from such various associated information as predetermined information.

An example of a captured image IM captured by the image capturing unit 110 is shown in fig. 2. In this example, in the captured image IM, the target object W is set in the measuring apparatus T, and the measured value is displayed on the measured value display unit D of the measuring apparatus T.

Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of: the measured value MV, and the measurement date and time information R1 and the model information R2 as predetermined information are superimposed on the periphery of the target object W and the measuring device T in the captured image IM, and the superimposed image is displayed on the display unit 140.

The display control unit 130 may obtain the measurement date and time information R1 by using a clock function, for example, in the case where the measurement information integration apparatus 100 is realized by a computer including a clock function.

The model information R2 is information indicating the type of the measuring apparatus T. The method for identifying the type of the measuring device T is an arbitrary method. For example, images or CAD models of a plurality of types of measuring devices are prepared in advance in the storage unit 160, these images or CAD models are collated with the image of the measuring device T, and the type of the measuring device T can be identified from the commonality of the features or the like.

In the case where the target object W is a part of the article WA (for example, the target object W is a nut, and the article WA is a bolt and nut set), the measuring device T and the target object W are imaged by the imaging unit 110, and the article WA is further imaged as shown in fig. 4. This enables a large amount of various information associated with the measured value to be displayed on the display unit 140 by the display control unit 130 as shown in fig. 5.

For example, images or CAD models of a plurality of types of bolt and nut sets are prepared in advance in the storage unit 160. In addition, in association with each type of bolt and nut set, a design drawing, a measurement process drawing, and design values (specification values) are also stored in the storage unit 160.

Under this condition, images or CAD models of a plurality of types of bolt and nut sets are collated with the image of the article WA, and the types of bolt and nut sets can be identified from the commonality of features.

In addition, a search may be made in the storage unit 160 based on the identified type of bolt and nut set, and the design drawing R3 may be displayed.

Further, it is possible to search in the storage unit 160 based on the type of bolt and nut set and the photographed image IM, and to display the corresponding measurement process map R4 and design value (specification value) R5.

The integrated data generating unit 150 captures an image displayed on the display unit 140 to generate image data, and extracts a predetermined portion of predetermined information as extension information to generate and output integrated data in which the extension information is added to the image data. The extended information to be extracted may be any information determined according to the purpose of the search as long as the extended information is numeric or character data that can be added to the image data. In addition, a method for adding extension information to image data is also an arbitrary method. For example, a method for storing the extension information in a metadata area set in an image data file may be employed, or a method using an electronic watermark or the like in which the extension information is embedded in the image data itself in a manner imperceptible to humans may be employed.

According to the measurement information integrating device 100 configured as described above, integrated data including image data in which a measurement value and information associated with the measurement value can be read simultaneously and extended information can be easily generated. Therefore, the measurement value in measurement and the information associated with the measurement value can be easily read only by extracting the integrated data relating to the measurement of the target object. In addition, since each integrated data includes extended data related to each measurement, information can be easily accessed and analyzed. In addition, since the structure is simple, the measurement information integration apparatus 100 can be realized at low cost.

second embodiment

The functions of the respective units of the measurement information integration apparatus 100 can be realized by describing the functions in a program and causing a computer to execute the program.

Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the structure of the measurement information integration apparatus 100 in the case where the functions of the respective units are realized by describing the functions of the units in a program and causing a computer to execute the program.

The measurement information integration apparatus 100 includes, for example, a CPU101, an image capturing unit 110, a display unit 140, a storage unit 160, and a communication unit 102.

The CPU101 executes a program, which is stored in the storage unit 160, in which the functions of the units are described and which realizes the functions of the measurement information integration apparatus 100.

The storage unit 160 is an arbitrary storage unit that stores an image of the measurement apparatus, an image of the target object, other information to be displayed on the display unit 140, and a program. For example, a storage medium such as an HDD and a flash memory, and a nonvolatile memory or a volatile memory, etc. may be used as the storage unit 160. Note that, instead of being provided in the measurement information integration apparatus 100, the storage unit 160 may be implemented by using a cloud storage connected via the communication unit 102. The display unit 140 displays various types of information under the control of the CPU 101. The communication unit 102 is an interface for connection with a wireless network or a wired network, and performs transmission and reception of information with a cloud memory or the like connected to the network under the control of the CPU 101.

Note that the measurement information integration apparatus 100 may be configured to: in the case where the measurement information integrating device 100 is mounted on the head, the display unit 140 faces the eyes of the wearer, and the range of the image captured by the imaging unit changes according to the movement of the body of the wearer. For example, the measurement information integration apparatus 100 may be configured as a head-mounted display apparatus including a computer, a camera unit, and a transmissive display. Thus, it is possible to automatically generate integrated data of the measured value and the information associated with the measured value only by the measuring operation performed by the measurer who mounts the apparatus.
