Returning to FIG. 1, in the measuring device 2 of the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1, the above-described three-dimensional measuring devices 10, 2 are used.
0 are arranged such that the directions of the respective base lengths are substantially orthogonal to each other. In the first three-dimensional measuring device 10, the light emitting unit 1
The direction of the base line length between 1 and the light receiving section 12 is the horizontal direction (Y direction)
In the second three-dimensional measuring device 20, the direction of the base line length of the light projecting unit 21 and the light receiving unit 22 is set in a direction slightly inclined from the vertical direction (Z direction) to the side where the rotary stage 30 is located.

FIGS. 3 and 4 are views showing a state where the first and second three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 measure the object 5 to be measured. FIG. 3 is a view of the measuring device 2 as viewed from above. FIG. 4 shows the scanning range of the laser slit light L1 by the first three-dimensional measuring device 10, and FIG. The scanning range of the laser slit light L2 is shown.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, the scanning optical system 11b of the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 scans the laser slit light L1 within the scanning range R1. In this scanning range R1, the scanning means such as a galvanomirror scans the laser beam L1 into the scanning range R1 before leading the laser slit beam L1 to the scanning range R1 so that the laser slit beam L1 scans at a constant angular velocity at a predetermined angular velocity. (Acceleration movement), and the laser slit light L
1 is controlled so as to perform a constant angular velocity motion while scanning within the scanning range R1, and to perform a coasting motion (acceleration motion for stopping) after the laser slit light L1 passes through the scanning range R1. .

In the scanning range R1, the laser slit light L1 is reflected by the surface of the measuring object 5 on the rotary stage 30. The reflected light is received by the light receiving optical system 12b of the light receiving unit 12, and is converted into an electronic signal (measurement data) corresponding to the surface shape of the measuring object 5. In the three-dimensional measuring device 10, measurement data can be obtained by scanning the laser slit light L1 once within the scanning range R1, and the measurement object 5 in the local coordinate system of the three-dimensional measuring device 10 is obtained from the measurement data. Can be obtained.

When the measurement by the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 is completed, the scanning optical system 21b of the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 transmits the laser slit light L2 to the scanning range R as shown in FIG.
Scan within 2. Also in this case, similarly to the above, the scanning means such as the galvanomirror performs a leading movement before guiding the laser slit light L2 to the scanning range R2, and the laser slit light L2
Is controlled to perform a constant angular velocity motion while scanning within the scanning range R2, and to perform a coasting motion after the laser slit light L2 passes through the scanning range R2.

This laser slit light L2 also has a scanning range R2.
Inside, the light is reflected on the surface of the measuring object 5 on the rotating stage 30. The reflected light is received by the light receiving optical system 22b of the light receiving unit 22, and is converted into an electronic signal (measurement data) corresponding to the surface shape of the measuring object 5. Also in the three-dimensional measuring device 20, measurement data can be obtained by scanning the laser slit light L2 once within the scanning range R2, and the measurement object 5 in the local coordinate system in the three-dimensional measuring device 20 is obtained from the measured data. Can be obtained.

If the rotation stage 30 is rotated and the measurement by the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 is performed again, the back side of the measurement object 5 can also be measured. The three-dimensional shape of the entire object 5 to be measured can be measured by repeatedly performing the measurement operation 20.

Here, the positional relationship between the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 will be described. FIGS. 5 and 6 are diagrams showing the relationship between the measurement object 5 and the laser slit light when measuring the measurement object 5 having a rectangular parallelepiped shape. It is the figure seen from the upper side.

First, as shown in FIG. 5, when the measuring object 5 is scanned with the laser slit light L1 from the light projecting unit 11 of the first three-dimensional measuring device 10, the surface 5 of the measuring object 5 is scanned.
a is appropriately irradiated with the laser slit light L1, but the surface 5b is not irradiated with the laser slit light L1, and the shape of the surface 5b is in a state where it cannot be measured by the first three-dimensional measuring device 10. Has become. The reason that the shape of the surface 5b cannot be measured even though both of the surfaces 5a and 5b are within the field of view of the light receiving unit 12 is that the light projecting unit 11 is separated from the light receiving unit 12 by a predetermined base line length. This is because the surface 5b is a shadow of the surface 5a from the light projecting unit 11 because it is arranged at the position.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, when the measuring object 5 is scanned with the laser slit light L2 from the light projecting portion 21 of the second three-dimensional measuring device 20, the surface 5 of the measuring object 5 is scanned.
a is appropriately irradiated with the laser slit light L2, and the surface 5b is also appropriately irradiated with the laser slit light L2, and both the surfaces 5a and 5b have the second three-dimensional measuring device. At 10 the measurement is possible.

That is, as described above, the three-dimensional measuring device 1
By setting the base line length directions of 0 and 20 in different directions (that is, in a non-parallel state) and irradiating the measurement object 5 with the laser slit lights L1 and L2 from different directions, the three-dimensional shape can be measured. Occasionally a shadowed portion can be reduced, thereby making it possible to obtain good measurement data without moving the measurement object 5. In addition, if the base length direction is configured to be substantially orthogonal, the portion that becomes a shadow when measuring the three-dimensional shape can be reduced most.

Further, by configuring the scanning directions SC of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 to be orthogonal to each other, the measurement object 5 having a surface shape that is difficult to detect by scanning in the same direction. It is also possible to obtain good measurement data.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1.

A control unit 14 for controlling, a calculation unit 15 for obtaining measurement data representing the shape of the measurement target based on a detection result of the light receiving unit 12, and an input / output unit for inputting / outputting data to / from the data processing device 50. An input / output unit 16 is provided.
It should be noted that the measurement data generated by the three-dimensional measuring device 10 is configured to also include information on the measurement magnification set when performing the measurement operation, and when the data processing is performed in the data processing device 50, the measurement magnification is changed. The considered data processing is performed.

Similarly, the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 includes a storage unit 23 such as a memory for storing data, in addition to the light projecting unit 21 and the light receiving unit 22 described above. A control unit 24 for controlling the overall operation, an arithmetic unit 25 for obtaining measurement data representing the shape of the object to be measured based on the detection result of the light receiving unit 22, and input and output of data to and from the data processing device 50 And an input / output unit 26 for performing the operation. It should be noted that the measurement data generated by the three-dimensional measuring device 20 is also configured to include information on the measurement magnification set when performing the measurement operation, and the data processing apparatus 50 performs the measurement magnification when performing data processing.

An output unit 56 is provided.

The control unit 51 controls the measuring operation of each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20, and inputs measurement data from each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 via the input / output unit 56. The control unit 51 is also configured to control the rotation angle of the rotation stage 30 by sending a control signal to the rotation stage 30.

The control unit 51 also functions as a data processing unit 52 by executing a predetermined data calibration program. In the data calibration process, the three-dimensional shape data expressed in one world coordinate system in the three-dimensional shape measurement system 1 is used. In order to generate the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 in advance,
A conversion parameter for calibrating the measurement data obtained from is obtained.

Each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 is installed in the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1 based on design values, but cannot be installed at an ideal position and posture in design due to an installation error or the like. It is common. Therefore, even if the measurement data obtained from each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 is converted into the world coordinate system based on the design value, accurate three-dimensional shape data cannot be obtained. Therefore, before actually measuring the object to be measured, the object for data calibration is measured by each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 using the object for data calibration in advance, and the measurement data obtained as a result is obtained. Based on this, the data processing device 40 is configured to determine a conversion parameter for calibrating the measurement data. The details of the data correction processing will be described later.

The data processing section 52 converts measurement data obtained from each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 based on conversion parameters obtained in advance in a measurement process for measuring an actual object to be measured. And generates three-dimensional shape data expressing the surface shape of the measurement object in one world coordinate system.

The storage unit 53 stores the parameters at the intermediate stage during the data calibration processing, and also stores the finally generated conversion parameters. The control unit 51
Also stores the program to be executed.

The input / output unit 56 is connected to each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 2.
A control signal for a measurement operation is output to 0, and measurement data from each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 is input.
The input / output unit 56 is also configured to be able to input data from the computer-readable recording medium 9. If the recording medium 9 stores a program such as the above-described data calibration program, the data processing device It is also configured that the control unit 51 reads the program from the recording medium 9 and executes the program.

The rotary stage 30 includes an input / output unit 36, a rotation control unit 31, and a rotation drive unit 32.
6 is configured to be able to perform data communication with the data processing device 50. The rotation control unit 31 drives the rotation drive unit 32 such as a motor based on the rotation angle specified by the control signal from the data processing device 50, and rotates the rotation stage 30. Thereby, the object to be measured set on the rotary stage 30 can be rotated, and each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 1 can be rotated.
0, 20 can also measure the shape on the back side of the measurement object.

<2. Data Calibration in Three-Dimensional Shape Measurement System> Next, data calibration processing in the three-dimensional shape measurement system 1 will be described.

The contents of the data calibration process include the three-dimensional measuring instruments 1 attached to the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1.
A first data calibration process for calibrating data on relative positions and postures of 0 and 20, and a position of a rotation axis for measuring by rotating the rotation stage 30, and measuring data around the rotation axis; And a second data calibration process for performing data calibration such as rotating the three-dimensional shape shown in FIG. 1 and the measurement data obtained from each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 to generate one three-dimensional shape data. At this time, there is a third data correction process for performing data correction for performing a high-accuracy combination process.

In each calibration process, a conversion parameter is obtained from measurement data obtained by measuring a calibration object suitable for the purpose of the calibration contents with each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20. In the following description, the local coordinate system of the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 is referred to as a world coordinate system, and the measurement data obtained by each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 is used in each calibration process in the world coordinate system. A conversion parameter for obtaining appropriate data is obtained.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the data calibration process. As shown in FIG. 8, in the data calibration process, the first data calibration process (step S1), the second data calibration process (step S2), and the third data calibration process (step S3) are performed in this order. Will be

First, the first data correction processing will be described. 9 and 10 are views showing a data calibration object 70 used in the first data calibration process. FIG. 9 is a front view of the data calibration object 70, and FIG. 10 is a data calibration object 70. FIG. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a state in which the object 70 for data calibration is installed in the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a measurement target 71 having a polyhedral structure is provided on the front side of the data calibration target 70, and the measurement target 71 is supported by a support member 72. I have. A plurality of spacer plates 75 are provided between the support member 72 and the base 73 so that the height position of the measured section 71 can be adjusted by changing the number of the spacer plates 75. It is configured. It should be noted that grips 79 for facilitating the carrying of the data calibration target 70 are disposed on the base 73 at both ends of the measured section 71. Therefore, the data calibration object 70
Is configured so that the position of the measured section 71 in the measurement space 3 can be changed.

The polyhedron of the part 71 to be measured is composed of five surfaces 711 to 715 each having a planar shape, and three adjacent surfaces among the five surfaces intersect at one point. When the object 70 for data calibration is set on the rotary stage 30, the measured unit 71
It is preferable that there be no surface from 20 to a blind spot.

When the first data calibration process is performed, the object 70 for data calibration as described above is placed in a state as shown in FIG.
It is set so that it can be measured by 0 and 20.

In the first data calibration process, the measured part 71 is measured by each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20, and the same vertex (for example, of the three surfaces 711, 712, and 713) in the measurement data obtained as a result is measured. Vertex 7 formed as an intersection
Processing for matching the coordinate values in 1a) is performed. More specifically, a conversion parameter for converting the measurement data obtained from the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 into the coordinate data of the world coordinate system is obtained. However, in order to obtain a conversion parameter in consideration of the relative position and orientation of each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20, at least three vertices that are not on the same straight line must be determined by each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20.
It is necessary to measure at 20. Therefore, the data calibration target 70 is configured to be able to change the height position of the measurement target portion 71, and the user moves the data calibration target 70 in the X direction as shown in FIG. By doing so, the distance from each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 can be changed. A moving mechanism in the X direction may be provided in the data calibration target 70 so that the position of the data calibration target 70 in the X direction is automatically changed by a control signal from the data processing device 50.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing details of the first data correction process.

First, the user sets the data calibration target 70 having a polyhedron on the rotary stage 30 (step S100). At this time, the portion 71 to be measured of the object 70 for data calibration is disposed so as to face each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20, and the laser slit light from each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 is at least three surfaces adjacent to each other. It is arranged so that it may enter.

Then, in the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1, the data processing device 50 gives a measurement operation command to the first three-dimensional measuring device 10, and the data calibration object 70 of the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 is measured. A measurement operation, that is, a scan by the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 is performed (step S).
102). By this scanning operation, the laser slit light L1 in the Z direction is scanned in the Y direction on the data calibration target 70, and the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 generates measurement data. The measurement data generated by the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 is output to the data processing device 50.

Next, proceeding to step S104, the data processing device 50 calculates one vertex coordinate of the data calibration object 70 in the local coordinate system of the first three-dimensional measuring device 10. In this step S104,
The processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. 13 is performed.

In the data processing device 50, the data processing section 52 converts the measured data obtained from the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 into a three-dimensional coordinate system for a local coordinate system uniquely defined with respect to the first three-dimensional measuring device 10. Shape data is generated (step S130). At this time, the three-dimensional measuring device 1
0 is a process for enlarging or reducing the three-dimensional shape data based on the measurement magnification set when performing the measurement operation. Even if the measurement is performed with the measurement magnification changed, appropriate three-dimensional shape data is obtained. Is generated. Since the local coordinate system unique to the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 is the world coordinate system, in step S130, a cubic expression expressed in the world coordinate system from the measurement data obtained from the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 is used. Original coordinate values, that is, three-dimensional shape data are generated.

Next, the data processing section 52 selects three surfaces 711, 712, 713 forming one specific vertex (for example, vertex 71 a) from the surface coordinates of the data calibration target 70, and A set of points included in each of 712 and 713 is extracted for each surface (step S13)
2). As a specific method, a measurement data is converted into a two-dimensional image, an intersection line of each surface is extracted by edge detection, and each surface is divided into regions by the extracted intersection line. Various known methods can be used, such as a method of finding a normal vector of a plane formed by points and extracting a group of points in which the normal vectors are in the same direction.

Then, the least squares method is applied to the coordinate information of the point group extracted for each surface to calculate equations representing each of the three surfaces (step S134). Then, the three equations derived for each surface are simultaneously solved to solve the three equations.
The coordinates of the vertex formed by 11, 712, 713 are obtained (step S136). The obtained vertex coordinates are provided from the data processing unit 52 to the storage unit 53, and are stored in the storage unit 53.
(Step S138).

When the above processing is completed, the processing in the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 is completed, and the process returns to the flowchart of FIG.

Next, in the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1, the data processing device 50 gives a measurement operation command to the second three-dimensional measuring device 20, and the object for data calibration by the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 is used. 70, that is, a scan by the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 is performed (step S).
106). By this scanning operation, the laser slit light L2 in the Y direction is scanned in the Z direction on the data calibration target 70, and measurement data is generated in the second three-dimensional measuring device 20. The measurement data generated by the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 is output to the data processing device 50.

Next, proceeding to step S108, the data processing device 50 calculates one vertex coordinate of the data calibration object 70 in the local coordinate system of the second three-dimensional measuring device 20. In this step S108,
The processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. 14 is performed.

In the data processing device 50, the data processing unit 52 is represented by a local coordinate system uniquely defined for the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 from the measurement data obtained from the second three-dimensional measuring device 20. The three-dimensional shape data is generated (step S140). Also at this time, enlargement or reduction processing of the three-dimensional shape data is performed based on the measurement magnification set when the three-dimensional measuring device 20 performs the measurement operation, and the measurement is performed with the measurement magnification changed. Even in such a case, appropriate three-dimensional shape data is generated.

Next, the data processing section 52 selects three surfaces 711, 712, 713 forming one specific vertex (for example, vertex 71 a) from the surface coordinates of the data calibration object 70, and A set of points included in each of 712 and 713 is extracted for each surface (step S14)
2). Note that a specific method is the first three-dimensional measuring device 10.
Is the same as the method performed. The three surfaces selected here are the same as the three surfaces selected in step S132 in the flowchart of FIG.

Then, the least squares method is applied to the coordinate information of the point group extracted for each surface to calculate equations representing each of the three surfaces (step S144). Then, the three equations derived for each surface are simultaneously solved to solve the three equations.
The coordinates of the vertex 71a formed by 11, 712, 713 are obtained (step S146). The coordinates obtained here are coordinates expressed in the local coordinate system of the second three-dimensional measuring device 20. The obtained vertex coordinates are provided from the data processing unit 52 to the storage unit 53, and are stored in the storage unit 53 (step S148).

When the above processing is completed, the processing in the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 is completed, and the process returns to the flowchart of FIG.

The data processing device 50 determines whether or not three or more vertex coordinates have been calculated (step S110). If three or more points have been calculated, the process proceeds to step S114.

On the other hand, if three or more points have not been calculated, the user is instructed to move the position of the data calibration object 70. Accordingly, the user moves the position of the data calibration target 70, and changes the position of the vertex whose coordinates have been calculated in steps S104 and S108 (step S112). Further, the user may change the height position of the measured section 71 by changing the number of the spacer plates 75. When the data calibration target 70 has a moving mechanism, the position of the data calibration target 70 may be automatically moved under the control of the data processing device 50. Further, the data processing device 5
0 may control the rotation stage 30 to rotate the rotation stage 30, thereby moving the position of the data calibration target 70.

Then, returning to step S102, the vertex 71
Steps S102 to S108 with the position a moved
Are repeated, and the vertex coordinates of the same vertex are calculated from the measurement data from each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20. Then, for the three different vertices, each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 2
When the coordinate value based on the measurement result at 0 is obtained, the process proceeds to step S114.

The number of vertices is not limited to three, but may be any number as long as it is three or more. Since the accuracy of data calibration improves as the number of vertices increases, it is preferable to obtain more vertex coordinates from the viewpoint of higher accuracy. On the other hand, as the number of vertices increases, the processing efficiency of the first data correction processing decreases. Therefore, from the viewpoint of processing efficiency, it is preferable to obtain three vertex coordinates.

In step S114, the data processing unit 5
2 generates a data set of vertex coordinates obtained from the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 and vertex coordinates obtained from the second three-dimensional measuring device 20. In this data set, three or more data sets are generated in step S114 because the coordinates corresponding to the same vertex are combined into one set.

Then, the data processing unit 52 obtains, for each data set, an equation for converting the vertex coordinates expressed in the local coordinate system of the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 into the world coordinate system (step S116). . In this equation, a conversion parameter (first conversion parameter) for converting the vertex coordinates expressed in the local coordinate system of the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 into the world coordinate system is used as an unknown number. The first conversion parameter includes a rotation matrix for rotating and moving the vertex coordinates in the three-dimensional space, and a translation matrix for performing the parallel movement.

Then, in step S118, the data processing section 52 obtains the value of the first conversion parameter by simultaneously solving the equations generated for each data set. The data processing unit 52 stores the first conversion parameter thus generated in the storage unit 53 of the data processing device 50 (Step S120).

By converting the measurement data obtained from the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 using the first conversion parameter, the vertex coordinates expressed in the local coordinate system can be converted to the world coordinate system. , Each three-dimensional measuring device 1
Shape data in the world coordinate system in which the relative positional relationship and the positional relationship of 0 and 20 are corrected.

Thus, the first data calibration processing is completed.
By the first data calibration process, it is possible to obtain a conversion parameter for converting the measurement data obtained from the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 into the coordinate data of the world coordinate system. In the above processing, since the local coordinate system of the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 is configured to be converted into the local coordinate system (world coordinate system) of the first three-dimensional measuring device 10, the first cubic In comparison with the case where the world coordinate system is set separately from the local coordinate system of the
Since only the first conversion parameter for the measurement data obtained from the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 needs to be obtained based on the measurement data obtained from the three-dimensional measuring device 20 of
Efficient processing is possible.

In the first data calibration process, each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 measures a plane to determine the vertex coordinates. Each three-dimensional measuring device 10, 2
When 0 measures a plane, high-precision measurement is possible even if the measurement magnification of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 changes.
Each vertex coordinate can also be obtained with high accuracy. Therefore, the first conversion parameter obtained as described above is a high-precision parameter for converting the measurement data obtained from the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 into the world coordinate system. As a result, the three-dimensional shape data obtained by measuring the measurement target with the three-dimensional shape measurement system 1 is also accurate data.

Further, by using the data calibration object 70 having the polyhedral structure as described above, there is an advantage that the data calibration object 70 can be created relatively easily. For example, in the case of a data calibration process for obtaining the center coordinates of a sphere using a sphere, it is difficult to process the spherical surface of the sphere to be used with high accuracy, and the sphere itself becomes expensive. On the other hand, if the object 70 for data calibration having a polyhedral structure as described above is used, it is relatively easy to process a high-precision plane, it can be produced at low cost, and highly reliable data can be obtained. The calibration object 70 can be realized.

Further, the plane can be measured with high accuracy regardless of the measurement magnification without being affected by the measurement magnification of each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20.
High-precision data calibration becomes possible.

In the above description, step S112
Although the case where the object 70 for data calibration is moved has been exemplified in FIG. 9, when the measured object 71 has a structure as shown in FIG. Since the coordinates of the vertices of the point can be obtained, the coordinates of the required number of vertices can be derived without moving the object 70 for data calibration.

In the data calibration object used in the first data calibration process, at least any three planes of the polyhedral structure may be one point (not limited to vertices in the polyhedral structure, but may be virtual points). The vertex coordinates can be satisfactorily obtained as long as the shape intersects in ()).

Next, the second data correction processing will be described. FIGS. 15 and 16 are views showing a rotation axis calibration object 80 used in the second data calibration process.
FIG. 15 is a diagram of the rotation axis calibration target 80 viewed from above,
FIG. 16 is a front view of the rotation axis calibration object 80. 15 and 16 both show a state in which a rotary axis calibration object 80 is set on the rotary stage 30.

As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, on the front side of the rotary axis calibration object 80, a measured section 81 having two planes 82 and 83 parallel to the vertical direction (Z direction) is provided.
It is installed so that the lower surface side of the measured portion 81 contacts the upper surface side of the rotary stage 30.

The normal directions of the planes 82 and 83 in the part to be measured 81 are not parallel, and the planes 82 and 83 are set so as to form a predetermined angle. Therefore, the part to be measured 8
When 1 extends the two planes 82 and 83, they intersect on a straight line (intersecting line) parallel to the vertical direction.

When the rotation axis calibration object 80 is set on the rotation stage 30, the rotation axis of the rotation stage 30 is aligned with the intersection of the two planes 82 and 83. In addition, the two planes 82 and 83 are each
Install in a direction that can be measured from 0 and 20.

Then, in the second data calibration process, the part to be measured 81 is measured by each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20, and the equation of the intersection is obtained from the measurement data obtained as a result. Since the intersection line is the rotation axis of the rotation stage 30, the equation of the intersection line is an equation representing the rotation axis of the rotation stage 30, that is, an expression representing the rotation axis itself. Then, a rotation conversion parameter for rotating and moving the coordinate data about the obtained rotation axis is obtained.

By obtaining the rotation conversion parameters in the second data calibration process, when the object to be measured is measured and three-dimensional shape data is generated, the three-dimensional shape data is rotated around the rotation axis. Becomes possible.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing details of the second data correction process (step S2).

First, the user moves the rotation axis calibration object 80 having two planes 82 and 83 to the rotation stage 30.
It is set on top (step S200). At this time, the measured part 81 of the rotation axis calibration object 80 is
20 and two planes 8
The intersection lines 2 and 83 are arranged so as to coincide with the rotation axis of the rotation stage 30.

The data processing device 50 includes the three-dimensional measuring device 10,
A CMM to be calibrated is selected from among the 20 (step S202). For example, first, the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 is selected as a calibration target.

The data processing device 50 scans the rotation axis calibration object 80 with the selected three-dimensional measuring device 10 and reads the surface shape of the rotation axis calibration object 80 (step S204).

Then, the data processing section 52 of the data processing device 50 converts the measurement data obtained from the three-dimensional measuring device 10 into three-dimensional coordinate values in the world coordinate system (step S2).
06). Also at this time, when the three-dimensional measuring device performs the enlargement or reduction processing of the three-dimensional shape data based on the measurement magnification set when performing the measurement operation, and the measurement is performed with the measurement magnification changed. However, appropriate three-dimensional shape data is generated. Since the local coordinate system of the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 is a world coordinate system, the first three-dimensional measuring device 1
The measurement data obtained at 0 is simply expressed in the local coordinate system of the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 and becomes a coordinate value in the world coordinate system. On the other hand, when the calibration target is the second three-dimensional measuring device 20, the second three-dimensional measuring device 2 is used by using the first conversion parameter obtained by the first data calibration process.
By converting the measurement data obtained from 0, it is possible to easily convert the measured data into coordinate values in the world coordinate system.

When the measurement data obtained from the three-dimensional measuring device to be calibrated is converted into coordinate values in the world coordinate system, the object 80 for rotation axis calibration is then converted from the three-dimensional coordinate values in the world coordinate system. The point group data constituting the two planes 82 and 83 is extracted (step S208). That is, each of the point cloud data included in the plane 82 and the point cloud data included in the plane 83 is extracted.

The data processing section 52 calculates an equation for each of the surfaces 82 and 83 from the point cloud data for each of the surfaces 82 and 83 (step S210). The data processing unit 52 calculates a rotation axis equation indicating the intersection of the two planes (that is, the rotation axis of the rotation stage 30) by simultaneously solving the equations obtained for the two planes 82 and 83 (step S21).
2). By using the rotation axis equation, the position of the rotation axis of the rotation stage 30 in the three-dimensional space of the world coordinate system can be specified.

Next, the data processing unit 52 includes the rotating stage 3
Calculate the equation of the surface with respect to the upper surface (Step S21)
4). For example, a first data calibration process (step S1)
When there is known data (known shape data) relating to the data calibration object 70 used when performing the data calibration, the vertex coordinates measured in the first data calibration process (step S1) and the data in the data calibration object 70 If the position of the upper surface of the rotary stage 30 is specified based on the design height position of the vertex, an equation representing the upper surface can be obtained. Note that an equation relating to the upper surface of the rotating stage 30 may be obtained by another method.

Next, the data processing section 52 includes the rotating stage 3
A rotation angle (control angle) set in advance to control the rotation of 0 is read from the storage unit 53 (step S2).
16). Thereby, when the three-dimensional shape measurement system 1 measures the measurement target from all directions, it is possible to identify how many times the rotating stage 30 is rotated to measure the measurement target.

Then, the data processing section 52 obtains a rotation conversion parameter about the rotation axis for each rotation angle (step S218). That is, for each angle obtained by inverting the sign of the rotation angle of the rotation stage 30, a rotation conversion parameter for performing rotation conversion about the rotation axis defined by the above-described rotation axis equation is obtained. By converting the measurement data using the rotation conversion parameter, the three-dimensional measurement derived from the measurement data by the rotation angle of the rotation stage 30 when the measurement target is measured by the three-dimensional measuring device selected as the calibration target. The shape can be rotated.

[0098] The data processing unit 52 determines the three-dimensional measuring device to be calibrated in order to indicate which three-dimensional measuring device the rotation conversion parameter obtained in step S218 corresponds to.
The rotation conversion parameters for each rotation angle are associated with each other and stored in the storage unit 53 of the data processing device 50 (step S22).
0).

Then, the data processing device 50 determines whether or not the calculation of the rotation conversion parameters has been completed for all the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 (step S222). The data calibration processing ends.

On the other hand, if the processing has not been completed, the flow returns to step S202 in order to obtain a rotation conversion parameter for another three-dimensional measuring device. If the rotation conversion parameter has been obtained for the first three-dimensional measuring device 10, the processes of steps S <b> 202 to S <b> 220 are repeated to obtain the rotation conversion parameter for the second three-dimensional measuring device 20.

When obtaining the rotation conversion parameter for the second three-dimensional measuring device 20, the measurement data is converted to the world coordinate system using the first conversion parameter obtained by the first data calibration processing in step S206. A rotation conversion parameter is obtained based on the coordinate values expressed in the world coordinate system. By synthesizing the first conversion parameter and the rotation conversion parameter obtained in step S218, a parameter (second conversion parameter) for simultaneously performing the world coordinate system conversion and the rotation conversion is obtained. At that point, the first conversion parameter is no longer needed.

In the second data calibration process, the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 measure two planes of the rotation axis calibration object to determine the rotation axis of the rotary stage 30. ing. Therefore, the rotation axis can be obtained with high accuracy by measuring the plane with high accuracy, and the rotation conversion parameter and the second conversion parameter can also be obtained with high accuracy. As a result, the three-dimensional shape data obtained by measuring the entire circumference of the measurement target with the three-dimensional shape measurement system 1 is also accurate data.

Further, since the plane can be measured with high accuracy regardless of the measurement magnification without being affected by the measurement magnification of each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20, high-precision data can be obtained. Calibration becomes possible.

In the second data calibration process, the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1 does not include the rotary stage 30 and
It is not a necessary process to measure only the front three-dimensional shape of the measurement object. In addition, the rotary axis calibration object used in the second data calibration process is not limited to the above-described content.

Next, the third data correction process will be described. 18 and 19 are views showing a high-precision calibration object 90 used in the third data calibration process.
FIG. 18 is a view of the high-precision calibration target 90 viewed from above,
FIG. 19 is a front view of the high-accuracy calibration object 90. FIGS. 18 and 19 both show a state in which a high-precision calibration object 90 is set on the rotary stage 30.

As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the object 90 for high-precision calibration is provided with a portion 91 to be measured having a polyhedral structure, and a support member 92 for supporting the portion 91 to be measured.
The polyhedral structure of the measured section 91 has a plurality of planes created with high accuracy based on known data such as CAD data. Further, a support member 92 is installed on the rotary stage 30.

When the object to be measured is actually measured by the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1 and the three-dimensional shape of the object to be measured is converted into data, the measurement data for each rotation angle obtained from each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 is used. Synthesis is performed to generate one three-dimensional shape data. In the third data calibration process, a high-precision conversion parameter (third conversion parameter) of the measurement data obtained from each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 is obtained so that the synthesizing process is performed with high accuracy. Is done.

In the third data calibration process, the object 90 for high-precision calibration is measured, and a high-precision conversion parameter that brings the measured data close to the known data is obtained, so that the object to be measured can be measured in each three-dimensional measurement. It is possible to combine the measurement data measured by the instruments 10 and 20 with high accuracy.

FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing details of the third data correction process (step S3).

First, the user sets the high-accuracy calibration target 90 as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 on the rotary stage 30 (step S300). At this time, it is preferable that the high-precision calibration object 90 is arranged such that the rotation axis of the rotation stage 30 passes through the center position of the measured portion 91.

The data processing section 52 reads a preset rotation angle (control angle) for controlling the rotation of the rotary stage 30 from the storage section 53 (step S302).
Thereby, when the three-dimensional shape measurement system 1 measures the measurement target from all directions, it is possible to identify how many times the rotary stage 30 is rotated to measure the measurement target. Then, the control unit 51 gives a control signal to the rotary stage 30 and rotates the rotary stage 30 by the read rotation angle (step S304).

Next, the data processing device 50 selects a CMM to be calibrated from the CMMs 10 and 20 (step S306). For example, first, the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 is selected as a calibration target.

The data processing device 50 scans the high-precision calibration object 90 with the selected three-dimensional measuring device, and reads the surface shape of the high-precision calibration object 90 (step S308).

The data processing unit 52 converts the measurement data obtained from the three-dimensional measuring device into three-dimensional coordinate values in the world coordinate system and stores the converted data (step S310). Specifically, the data processing unit 52 calculates the three-dimensional measuring device to be calibrated and the current rotation angle of the rotation stage 30 based on the three-dimensional measurement device.
The parameters for performing the world coordinate system conversion and the rotation conversion obtained in the second data correction process (step S2) are read from the storage unit 53, and the measured data is converted using the read conversion parameters, thereby obtaining the world coordinates. It can be converted to coordinate values in the system. Note that, also at this time, enlargement or reduction processing of the three-dimensional shape data is performed based on the measurement magnification set when the three-dimensional measuring device performs the measurement operation, and the measurement is performed with the measurement magnification changed. In this case, appropriate three-dimensional shape data is generated.

Then, the data processing device 50 determines whether or not all the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 have measured the high-accuracy calibration object 90 (step S312). If the measurement is completed in step S3
Proceed to 14. On the other hand, at the stage where the measurement by the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 is only completed, the second three-dimensional measuring device 2
In order to perform measurement at 0, the process returns to step S306, where the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 is selected as an object to be calibrated, a high-accuracy calibration target is scanned (step S308), and the measurement data obtained thereby is obtained. (Step S310) for converting into a three-dimensional coordinate value in the world coordinate system.

Therefore, steps S306 to S312
In the state where the rotation angle of the rotary stage 30 is set to a certain angle by the loop processing of
Can be measured by each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20, and as a result, three-dimensional coordinate values (three-dimensional shape data) measured by each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 can be generated.

In step S314, the data processing device 50 determines whether or not the high-precision calibration object 90 has been measured at all angles, and measures the high-precision calibration object 90 at all angles. If not, the process returns to step S304, in which the rotary stage 30 is driven to rotate, and the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 use the high-precision calibration object 9 in that state.
A measurement of zero is made. Therefore, steps S304-
By the loop processing of S314, the high-precision calibration target 90
Is measured at a predetermined rotation angle, and three-dimensional shape data measured at each predetermined rotation angle by each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 is generated.

When the measurement at all angles is completed, the measurement has been performed for the entire circumference of the object 90 for high-precision calibration. Therefore, the process proceeds to step S316, and the object for high-precision calibration obtained for each rotation angle is obtained. Three-dimensional coordinate values of the object 90;
Conversion information for comparing the three-dimensional coordinate values obtained by the measurement with the known data by comparing the known data of the high-precision calibration object 90 with the known data is generated.

FIG. 21 is a diagram showing the details of the process (step S316) of generating conversion information by comparing with known data for each angle. The data processing unit 52 reads the known data of the high-precision calibration target 90 from the storage unit 53 (Step S330). Then, the data processing unit 52 performs step S
Using the equation relating to the upper surface of the rotary stage 30 determined in 214 and the rotational axis equation determined in step S212, the read known data is arranged so as to be located on the rotary stage 30 in the three-dimensional space of the world coordinate system,
Find three-dimensional coordinate values based on known data (step S
332). Then, the three-dimensional coordinate value for each rotation angle obtained for each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 is compared with the three-dimensional coordinate value based on the known data (step S33).
4). In this comparison, the coordinate value of one point in the three-dimensional coordinate value for each rotation angle obtained for each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 is compared with the corresponding coordinate value in the three-dimensional coordinate value based on known data. This is done by:

Next, the data processing section 52 executes a publicly-known ICP
The calculation based on the (Iterative Closest Points) algorithm is repeatedly performed a predetermined number of times so that the distance between the surface of the three-dimensional coordinate value obtained by the measurement and the surface based on the known data gradually decreases (step S336). . I
The CP algorithm is an algorithm that obtains coordinate transformation information that minimizes the distance between surfaces by repeating an iterative operation. However, in this system, since the shape and the degree of displacement can be limited in advance, the number of repetitions is fixed. And Further, the score to be processed may be changed according to the number of repetitive calculations. For example, when a total of 60 repetitions are performed, four points are to be processed at least 10 times, and the following 2 points are to be processed.
The processing may be performed on 10 points for 0 times and all points for the remaining 30 times. With such a device, the present system realizes efficient processing.

Then, the data processing section 52 executes step S3
Based on the result of the 36 repetitive operations, coordinate conversion information for reducing the distance between the surface obtained by the measurement and the surface based on the known data is obtained (step S338). The coordinate transformation information includes a rotational movement matrix for performing rotational movement,
And a translation matrix for performing translation. By obtaining the coordinate conversion information, it becomes possible to bring the coordinate position of the surface obtained by the measurement closer to the position of the surface based on the theoretically accurate known data.

Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 20, the process proceeds to step S318, where the data processing unit 52
It is determined whether or not the conversion information obtained by the process of 316 is for performing coordinate conversion with a predetermined accuracy or higher. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the distance between the corresponding surfaces of the measured data and the known data is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold as a result of the repetitive operation performed in the process of step S316. For example, when at least one of the distances between the two surfaces exceeds the threshold, an error process is performed (step S320).

In the error processing, for example, the data processing device 5
For example, a process such as displaying an error on the display of No. 0 is performed, so that the user can know that the third data calibration process has not been completed normally. In this case, the procedure is restarted from the procedure of the first data correction processing (step S1).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S318 that the accuracy is higher than the predetermined accuracy, step S322 is performed.
The data processing unit 52 obtains a composite conversion parameter of the conversion information obtained in step S316 and the second conversion parameter obtained in the second data calibration process (step S2), and sets the composite conversion parameter to It is determined as a high-precision conversion parameter (third conversion parameter). This high-precision conversion parameter is also determined for each rotation angle of the rotary stage 30 for each three-dimensional measuring device.

Then, the high-precision conversion parameters are stored in the storage unit 53 of the data processing device 50 in association with the three-dimensional measuring device and the rotation angle (step S324), and the third data configuration process is terminated.

When three-dimensional shape data is generated by measuring a measurement target with a plurality of three-dimensional measuring devices, the measurement data obtained by measuring the measurement target with a plurality of three-dimensional measuring devices is converted to the above-described ICP algorithm. Although it is common to perform synthesis processing based on the like, in such a processing form, it is necessary to perform time-consuming synthesis arithmetic processing every time the measurement target is measured. It takes a lot of time to get it. In this embodiment, a high-precision calibration object 90 is measured in advance, and each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and
Since a high-precision conversion parameter for synthesizing the measurement data from 20 with high accuracy is obtained in advance, it is not necessary to repeatedly perform an operation by an ICP algorithm or the like when measuring an object to be measured. By simply converting the measurement data, a highly accurate combined state of the measurement data obtained from each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 is realized, so that the time until the three-dimensional shape data is generated after the measurement is reduced. be able to.

Further, I for aligning two measurement shapes
In the CP algorithm, for example, when two three-dimensional shape data are obtained, an overlapping portion is extracted, and an operation is performed to reduce the difference between those data (the distance between a point and a corresponding point). However, in this embodiment, the three-dimensional shape obtained from each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 is compared with ideal known data, and an operation is performed to bring each three-dimensional shape closer to ideal known data. To be
It is possible to obtain a highly accurate conversion parameter for approaching an ideal state as compared with a general case. In other words, in the third data calibration process (step S3), each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 measures the high-precision calibration object 90 having a plurality of planes, and A synthesis process is performed so that the obtained measurement data is closer to the known data of the high-precision calibration object 90, and a high-precision conversion parameter is obtained based on the result of the synthesis process. Is obtained in advance.

Further, since the measurement data from each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 includes information on the measuring magnification, each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 performs a high-precision calibration object 90 at a different measuring magnification. Even when the measurement object is measured, the magnification of the measurement data can be adjusted according to the measurement magnification, so that the synthesis accuracy does not decrease.

Further, since the high-precision conversion parameter is a parameter including the second conversion parameter (combination of world coordinate system conversion and rotation conversion) obtained in the second data calibration process, the high-precision conversion parameter is If so, the first and second conversion parameters are no longer needed.

Although the third data calibration process (step S3) in the above description has been performed on the assumption that the first and second data calibration processes (steps S1 and S2) are performed. , But is not limited thereto. For example, the assembling position and orientation of each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 are obtained from the known data of the measuring device 2, and the measured data is converted into three-dimensional coordinate values in the world coordinate system based on the known data. A conversion parameter for bringing the three-dimensional coordinate value closer to the design value of the high-accuracy calibration object 90 may be obtained. However, the first and second
If the data calibration process is not performed, each 3D measuring device 1
If the assembling positions and postures of 0 and 20 are greatly deviated from the design values, there is a high possibility that the conversion parameter of the measurement data cannot be obtained accurately. Data calibration process (step S
After performing (1, S2), it is preferable to perform third data calibration processing (step S3).

Thus, the data calibration process (the flowchart of FIG. 8) which is performed by the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1 before measuring the object to be measured is completed. And
When all the processes shown in the flowchart of FIG.
Conversion parameters for generating three-dimensional shape data from measurement data obtained by measuring the measurement object while rotating the rotation stage 30 are derived, and the conversion parameters are stored in the storage unit 53 of the data processing device 50. Will be.

By determining such conversion parameters in advance before measuring the object to be measured, the efficiency of processing when the object to be measured is generated by the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1 to generate three-dimensional shape data is obtained. And the generated three-dimensional shape data can be made accurate.

Since the measuring device 2 of the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1 is configured so that there are few portions that are difficult to measure due to the occurrence of shadows on the measuring object, the measurement is performed by the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1. The three-dimensional shape data obtained by measuring the object is highly accurate and complete three-dimensional shape data.

<3. Measurement Operation of Measurement Object> Next, the measurement operation of the measurement object in the three-dimensional shape measurement system 1 will be described. It is assumed that the data calibration process has been performed prior to the measurement operation.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the measuring process in the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1.

First, the user places an object to be measured having an arbitrary surface shape on the rotary stage 30 (step S).
400). Subsequently, when a measurement operation is instructed by the user, the data processing unit 52 reads a preset rotation angle (control angle) from the storage unit 53 for controlling the rotation of the rotation stage 30 (step S402).
Thereby, when the three-dimensional shape measurement system 1 measures the measurement target from all directions, it is possible to identify how many times the rotary stage 30 is rotated to measure the measurement target. Then, the control unit 51 gives a control signal to the rotating stage 30 to rotate the rotating stage 30 by the read rotation angle (step S404).

Next, the data processing device 50 selects a three-dimensional measuring device to be controlled from the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20, and specifies a three-dimensional measuring device for performing a measuring operation (step S406). For example, first, the first three-dimensional measuring device 10
Is selected as a control target.

The data processing device 50 scans the object to be measured by the selected three-dimensional measuring device and reads the surface shape of the object to be measured (step S408). The data processing unit 52 converts the measurement data obtained from the three-dimensional measuring device into three-dimensional coordinate values in the world coordinate system (step S410). Specifically, the data processing unit 52 is obtained in the third data calibration process (step S3) based on the three-dimensional measuring device to be controlled and the current rotation angle of the rotation stage 30. By reading the high-precision conversion parameter from the storage unit 53 and converting the measurement data using the high-precision conversion parameter, it is possible to convert the data into a coordinate value in the world coordinate system corresponding to the current rotation angle.

Then, the data processing section 52 deletes unnecessary portions from the generated three-dimensional coordinate values (step S4).
12). Each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 generates measurement data on the object, if any, in the region irradiated with the laser slit light. Therefore, the three-dimensional shape of the rotary stage 30 and the like included in the three-dimensional shape measurement system 1 is also included in the measurement data. Since such data is not the shape of the measurement target, it is deleted from the three-dimensional coordinate values as an unnecessary part. To identify unnecessary parts,
For example, in the flowchart of FIG.
Unnecessary portions are deleted by invalidating the three-dimensional coordinate values determined from the equation on the upper surface of the rotary stage 30 obtained in step 14 and located below the upper surface of the rotary stage 30. Alternatively, the upper surface position of the rotating stage 30 in world coordinate values may be estimated from the design values of the measuring device 2, and a portion below the upper surface position may be deleted. As a result, the three-dimensional coordinate values obtained from the measurement data include only data relating to the measurement target.

The three-dimensional coordinate values from which unnecessary portions have been deleted become three-dimensional shape data relating only to the object to be measured at the current rotation angle, and the three-dimensional shape data is stored in the storage unit 53 of the data processing device 50. (Step S41
4).

The data processing device 50 determines whether or not all the three-dimensional measuring devices have measured the object to be measured with the rotary stage 30 at the current rotation angle (step S41).
6). When the measurement by the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 is completed, the process returns to step S406 to perform the measurement operation by the second three-dimensional measuring device 20. Select as a control target. When the measurement operation by the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 ends, unnecessary portions are deleted from the three-dimensional coordinate values, and the storage in the storage unit 53 ends, “YES” is determined in the step S416.

Next, the data processing device 50 determines whether or not the object to be measured has been measured at all rotation angles (step S).
418). That is, it is determined whether or not the three-dimensional shape data has been generated for the entire circumference of the measurement object. If “NO”, the process returns to step S404 to rotate the rotary stage 30 so that each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 performs The object to be measured is measured from another angle to generate three-dimensional shape data (steps S406 to S416). For example, when the rotation angle at the time of controlling the driving of the rotation stage 30 is set to 90 °, the loop processing of steps S404 to S418 is repeated four times, so that almost the entire circumference of the measurement target is converted into data. Will be.

When the measurement operation of the object to be measured at all rotation angles is completed, the data processing unit 52 outputs the three-dimensional coordinate values (partial values) obtained from each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 for each rotation angle. The three-dimensional shape data) are read out, and by adding them, three-dimensional shape data relating to the entire measurement object is generated and stored in the storage unit 53 (step S42).
0). As a result, the storage unit 53 of the data processing device 50 stores the three-dimensional shape data relating to the surface shape of the measurement object, and outputs the data to another external device as needed.

Thus, the processing of the measuring operation of the measuring object in the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1 is completed. When converting the measured data into the three-dimensional coordinate values of the world coordinate system in the measuring operation (step S410), By simply performing data conversion using the high-precision conversion parameters obtained in the data calibration process 3 (step S3), highly accurate three-dimensional coordinate values can be obtained. In addition, by using the high-precision conversion parameters, it is not necessary to repeatedly perform calculations and the like to perform shape matching processing after measuring the measurement target with each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20, thereby enabling high-speed processing. .

In order to further increase the speed of the measuring operation, the data processing device 50 controls the operation of each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 and the rotary stage 30 in the following manner. Good.

FIG. 23 is a time chart showing a control form for speeding up the measuring operation. As shown in FIG. 23, the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 perform pre-photometry when measuring an object to be measured for the first time. After the measurement preparation operation is performed, the laser light source is turned on at the start of scanning, and the approach operation of the scanning unit is started. When the approach operation is completed and the laser slit light can move at a constant speed within the scanning range, the measurement operation is performed. Stable scanning is realized during the measurement operation. When the measurement operation is completed, a coasting operation for stopping the scanning movement by the scanning unit is performed. At this stage, the laser light source is turned off.
After the arithmetic processing is performed in each of the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20, the measurement data is output to the data processing device 50.

When the rotation stage 30 is rotated to measure almost the entire circumference of the object to be measured, the data processing device 50 starts driving the rotation stage 30 to rotate the rotation stage 30 and rotates the rotation stage 30 by a predetermined rotation angle within a predetermined time. It is configured to rotate only.

When the measurement operation is performed from the first three-dimensional measuring device 10, when the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 enters the scanning stop stage, the scanning of the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 starts. Is controlled to be performed. With this configuration, the first
The efficiency of the measurement operation can be improved as compared with the case where the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 starts preparation for measurement after the data output stage from the three-dimensional measuring device 10 is completed. In other words, the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 can perform the measuring operation (stable scanning) by the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 immediately after completing the stage of the measuring operation (stable scanning).
In parallel with the operation of the three-dimensional measuring device 10, the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 also operates, and while the first three-dimensional measuring device 10 is operating, the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 By completing the measurement preparation operation (operation before the run-in phase),
The speed of the measurement operation in the three-dimensional shape measurement system 1 can be increased.

The rotation of the rotary stage 30 is performed immediately after the measurement operation of the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 is completed, and the rotating stage 30 is rotated while the second three-dimensional measuring device 20 is in the coasting stage. The first three-dimensional measuring device 1 starts driving the stage 30 and immediately after the rotation operation of the rotary stage 30 is completed.
It is prepared so that the next measurement operation (stable scanning) can be performed at 0.

As described above, the data processing device 50 controls the first three-dimensional measuring device 10, the second three-dimensional measuring device 20, and the rotary stage 30 in parallel, thereby achieving an efficient measuring operation. Becomes possible.

As described above, in the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1 shown in this embodiment, two three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 are installed in the measuring device 2, and This reduces the occurrence of a part that cannot be measured on the measured object to be measured.

Further, by performing data calibration processing in the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1 before performing the measuring operation of the measurement object, data calibration of the measurement data measured by the two three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 is performed. , So that three-dimensional shape data in a world coordinate system can be obtained. For this reason, it is possible to obtain three-dimensional shape data without measuring data when measuring an object to be measured.

In performing the data calibration process, various calibration objects are used, and the plane of the calibration object is detected, so that accurate data calibration can be performed. is there. In addition, since a high-precision conversion parameter for synthesizing the measurement data obtained by the three-dimensional measuring devices 10 and 20 with high accuracy in the data calibration process is obtained,
It is not necessary to perform a time-consuming combining process after measuring the measurement target, and the measurement target can be obtained efficiently.

Therefore, by measuring the object to be measured using the three-dimensional shape measuring system 1 described in this embodiment, almost the entire surface shape of the object to be measured can be measured, and high accuracy and high speed can be achieved. It is possible to obtain three-dimensional shape data at the same time.

Also, instead of a plurality of three-dimensional measuring devices, one

That is, one three-dimensional measuring device is installed at the first position, the calibration object or the measurement object is measured from the first position, and then moved to the second position. Alternatively, the measurement object may be measured from the second position. In this case, since the three-dimensional measuring device is frequently moved, it is necessary to increase the mounting accuracy at the first position and the second position.

In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the rotating stage 30 is provided in the measuring apparatus 2 to measure the entire circumference of the object to be measured, but only the front side of the object to be measured need be measured. In such a case, the rotating stage 3
0 is not mandatory.
