Fig. l is a schematic diagram showing the measuring principle of the three-dimensional curved surface shape measuring apparatus of the slit light linear scanning type disclosed in Canadian Patent Application No. 579,654.
As shown in Fig. l, a slit light 3a spreading vertically to the paper plane is projected obliquely from above onto the surface of an object 2 to be measured which is placed on a reference plane l. Then, while moving the slit light 3a transversely to the paper plane, the object 2 is picked up by a television camera 8 from for example just above the object 2. At this time, the manner in which the linear reflected pattern of the slit light at the object surface is moved transversely to the picture is observed on a monitor television 18 connected to the : ~ television camera 8.
: The linear shape of the reflected pattern of the slit ~: : :. :.. :
light 3a reflects the irregularity information of the object surface. In accordance with the video signal ~ :~
20 outputted from the television camera 8 picking up the ~ :~
manner in which the linear reflected pattern of the slit ~ ... .
light 3a is moved over the surface of the object, a : composite image is formed in which each of the picture elements within the picture has a value representing the 25 moment at which the slit light passes through the position .
on the object surface corresponding to that picture ':.. :. ~' .
~;~
~ ~ ~ } ~: !e ~
~ ~ ?~ =?~ -"~
1 element or the moment at which the brightness of that position becomes maximum.
With the composite image produced in this way, the values of its respective picture elements represent a height profile of the object surface based on a plane A
(hereinafter referred to as a ~irtual reference plane) shown by the dot-and-dash line in Fig. l. In this way, the height profile of the object surface based on the virtual reference plane A is measured.
However, generally the three-dimensional shape ,: -measurement of the object must measure the profile basedon the reference plane l on which the object 2 to be measured is placed and not the profile with respect to the virtual reference plane A in Fig. l.
In order to satisfy this requirement the previously mentioned measurement is first made with respect to the object surface, thus measuring its height profile based on the virtual reference plane A. Then, after the object to ~ be measured has been removed, the same measurement is made with respect to the reference plane 1J thus measuring a height profile based on the virtual reference plane A.
Thereafter,the difference between each pair of corresponding picture element values of the two profile images, i.e., the object surface composite image u(x, y) and the reference plane composite image uO(x, y) is computed. As the result of this computation, a height profile image -'- :, 2~
1 based on the reference plane 1 is produced. The value of each of the picture elements in this height profile image is proportional to the height of the corresponding position on the surface of the object to be measured which is based on the reference plane 1.
However, where the perspective effect of the video camera is not negligible, the present shape computing method has the disadvantage of causing a height distortion and position distortion as mentioned previously.
This disadvantage will now be explained with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram corresponding to the slit light linear scanning-type measuring method of Fig. 1. If the distance between the television camera 8 and the object 2 to be measured is infinitely great, the image of a point A to be measured on the reference plane 1 is observed at a point B. Then, considering the fact ; that the application of the shape computational expression disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent No. 63-76389, ` 20 f(x, y) = uO(x, y) - u(x, y) tan ~, results in uO(x, y) = xO, u(x, y) = x, we obtain f(x, y) =(xO - x)tan and this corresponds to the height z of the point A.
However, where the distance between the television camera and the object to be measured is finite and the ..

1 perspective effect of the camera is not negligible, the following two attributive distortions are caused.
(1) The height distortion: While the height z of the point A should properly be measured, what is measured is the height z' of a point A' which is the intersecting point between the slit light plane and the perpendicular drawn from the reference plane at the image point B' of the point A on the reference plane.
(2) The position distortion: While the coordinate x of the point A on the reference plane should properly be the coordinate X of the point B, it is measured to be the coordinate x' of the point B' and the coordinate x' varies depending on the height of the point A.

Fig. 3 is a schematic block diagram showing the construction of a three-dimensional shape measuring ~:~ apparatus of the slit light linear scanning type according to an embodiment of the present invention. An object 2 to be measured is mounted on a reference plane 1 serving as a '.:
1 basis of measurement. A slit light source 3 is mounted on a linear stage 4 and it projects a slit light 3a at a projection angle ~ onto the reference plane 1 and the object 2 to be measured. With the slit light source 3 mounted on it, the linear stage 4 is driven by a motor 6 which is controlled by a motor controller 5 and the slit light source 3 is moved in a direction parallel to the reference plane 1.
At this time, the position of the slit light source 3 10 : is measured by a position sensor 7 incorporated in the linear stage 4 and it is applied to a shape measuring : apparatus 9 through the motor controller 5.
The reference plane 1 and the object 2 to be ;~
measured are pic~ed up by a television camera 8 arranged : 15 such that its optical axis crosses the reference plane 1 : :::
at right angles and the resulting video signal is applied to the shape measuring apparatus 9.
The shape measuring apparatus 9 mainly comprises a shape computing circuit lO serving as image computing: : .-means for performing a shape computation by image composing and a sequence controller 11 for generating : commands for the motor controller 5 and performing a computation timing control for the shape computing circuit 10. ' ' ' During the shape measurement, the shape measuring :~
apparatus 9 drives the linear stage 4 through the sequence :~
.~, ...
;~t~ pr~}~ 5~
l controller 11 responsive to an externally applied start signal and the slit light source 3 is set in its initial position. Thereafter, the scanning of the slit light source 3 is started.
The shape computing circuit 10 includes in its input - section an image composing circuit 12 so that at the same time that the scanning of the slit light source 3 is started, the video signal applied from the television camera 8 is processed from moment to moment and an image composing computation is performed in which the value of each of the picture elements within the picture is represented by a stage position signal at the instant that the image of the slit light passes through that picture element. Then, upon the completion of one scanning of the slit light source 3,its result u(x', y') is transferred to an object plane composite image memory 13.
~: ~ Then, after the object 2 has been removed from the reference plane 1, the sequence controller 11 returns the slit light source 3 to the initial position and the ~20~ scanning of the slit light source 3 is started again.
:: :
:: The Image composing circuit 12 performs the same composing computation as performed with respect to the object 2 but this time for the reference plane 1 so that upon completion of the slit light source scanning, the result uO(x',y') is transferred to a reference plane composite image memory 14.
After these image composing computations have been A
l completed, in response to the commands from the sequence controller 11 the shape computing circuit 10 causes a ~ ;
height computing circuit 15 and a distortion compensating circuit 16 to perform the following computations. The height computing circuit 15 computes a height z(x', y') from the image data stored in the object plane composite image memory from the image data stored in the object plane composite image memory 13 and the image in the reference -plane composite image memory 14 in accordance with equation (5). Thereafter, the distortion compensating circuit 16 provides compensation for the distortions in accordance with ~;
equations (6), (7) and (8) and the resulting height profile ~ ;
data f(x, y) is stored in a three-dimensional shape memory 17.
15In response to the command from a higher rank computer or CAD system, the height profile data stored in the three - dimensional shape memory 17 is suitably transferred to the computer or the CAD system.
It is to be noted that while, in the above-described embodiment, the composite image of the reference plane 1 is produced during the measurement, it is necessary to produce the composite image of the reference plane 1 only ;
once and therefore the initially produced composite image of the reference plane 1 can be used as such during the;~ ;
25second and following measurements. Also, the composite -image of the reference plane 1 is simple in construction so that the shape computing circuit 10 may be provided ~-l with an additional computing function such that a virtual reference plane is obtained by calculation in accordance with equation (5) to produce and store its composite image ~ -in the reference plane composite image memory 14.
Further, while in the above-described embodiment the stage position signal is directly used as a composing signal in the image composing circuit 12, assuming for example that the stage is caused to make an uniform motion, any signal corresponding to the stage position, e.g., the elapsed time since the starting of the scanning of the stage, can be used and the stage position signal itself need not be used particularly. In this case, however, a stage position conversion circuit must be provided after the image composing circuit 12.

the camera, the shape computational.expression for the :~
three-dimensional shape f(x, y) of the surface of the object to be measured can be given by the following .-~
`equation~ "
::;: : -: -~: " ~ ~
20 ~ f(x, y) = z(x', y') .................... (8) ~ :
Fig. 3 is a schematic block diagram showing the construction of a three-dimensional shape measuring ~:~ apparatus of the slit light linear scanning type according to an embodiment of the present invention. An object 2 to be measured is mounted on a reference plane 1 serving as a '.:
1 basis of measurement. A slit light source 3 is mounted on a linear stage 4 and it projects a slit light 3a at a projection angle ~ onto the reference plane 1 and the object 2 to be measured. With the slit light source 3 mounted on it, the linear stage 4 is driven by a motor 6 which is controlled by a motor controller 5 and the slit light source 3 is moved in a direction parallel to the reference plane 1.
At this time, the position of the slit light source 3 10 : is measured by a position sensor 7 incorporated in the linear stage 4 and it is applied to a shape measuring : apparatus 9 through the motor controller 5.
The reference plane 1 and the object 2 to be ;~
measured are pic~ed up by a television camera 8 arranged : 15 such that its optical axis crosses the reference plane 1 : :::
at right angles and the resulting video signal is applied to the shape measuring apparatus 9.
The shape measuring apparatus 9 mainly comprises a shape computing circuit lO serving as image computing: : .-means for performing a shape computation by image composing and a sequence controller 11 for generating : commands for the motor controller 5 and performing a computation timing control for the shape computing circuit 10. ' ' ' During the shape measurement, the shape measuring :~
apparatus 9 drives the linear stage 4 through the sequence :~
.~, ...
;~t~ pr~}~ 5~
l controller 11 responsive to an externally applied start signal and the slit light source 3 is set in its initial position. Thereafter, the scanning of the slit light source 3 is started.
The shape computing circuit 10 includes in its input - section an image composing circuit 12 so that at the same time that the scanning of the slit light source 3 is started, the video signal applied from the television camera 8 is processed from moment to moment and an image composing computation is performed in which the value of each of the picture elements within the picture is represented by a stage position signal at the instant that the image of the slit light passes through that picture element. Then, upon the completion of one scanning of the slit light source 3,its result u(x', y') is transferred to an object plane composite image memory 13.
~: ~ Then, after the object 2 has been removed from the reference plane 1, the sequence controller 11 returns the slit light source 3 to the initial position and the ~20~ scanning of the slit light source 3 is started again.
:: :
:: The Image composing circuit 12 performs the same composing computation as performed with respect to the object 2 but this time for the reference plane 1 so that upon completion of the slit light source scanning, the result uO(x',y') is transferred to a reference plane composite image memory 14.
After these image composing computations have been A
l completed, in response to the commands from the sequence controller 11 the shape computing circuit 10 causes a ~ ;
height computing circuit 15 and a distortion compensating circuit 16 to perform the following computations. The height computing circuit 15 computes a height z(x', y') from the image data stored in the object plane composite image memory from the image data stored in the object plane composite image memory 13 and the image in the reference -plane composite image memory 14 in accordance with equation (5). Thereafter, the distortion compensating circuit 16 provides compensation for the distortions in accordance with ~;
equations (6), (7) and (8) and the resulting height profile ~ ;
data f(x, y) is stored in a three-dimensional shape memory 17.
15In response to the command from a higher rank computer or CAD system, the height profile data stored in the three - dimensional shape memory 17 is suitably transferred to the computer or the CAD system.
It is to be noted that while, in the above-described embodiment, the composite image of the reference plane 1 is produced during the measurement, it is necessary to produce the composite image of the reference plane 1 only ;
once and therefore the initially produced composite image of the reference plane 1 can be used as such during the;~ ;
25second and following measurements. Also, the composite -image of the reference plane 1 is simple in construction so that the shape computing circuit 10 may be provided ~-l with an additional computing function such that a virtual reference plane is obtained by calculation in accordance with equation (5) to produce and store its composite image ~ -in the reference plane composite image memory 14.
Further, while in the above-described embodiment the stage position signal is directly used as a composing signal in the image composing circuit 12, assuming for example that the stage is caused to make an uniform motion, any signal corresponding to the stage position, e.g., the elapsed time since the starting of the scanning of the stage, can be used and the stage position signal itself need not be used particularly. In this case, however, a stage position conversion circuit must be provided after the image composing circuit 12.
