Mixed Reality Measurement Program Verification for 3D Objects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current measurement programs lack a reliable method to confirm their suitability for objects, especially when multiple objects with similar shapes are measured, leading to potential collisions due to incorrect jig attachment and measurement path deviations.
Innovation Solution
A measurement program selection assisting apparatus that uses a database to store three-dimensional object shapes and corresponding measurement programs, allowing for mixed reality displays to visually confirm program suitability, includes a detecting unit for recognizing object shapes, and a correcting unit to adjust measurement program coordinates based on detected errors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a measurement program is selected based on similar object shapes, then measurement efficiency is improved, but measurement accuracy deteriorates due to difficulty in confirming suitability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy (three-dimensional model) of the actual object and superimposes it with the measurement program's measurement path. This virtual copy allows operators to visually verify program suitability before execution, ensuring measurement accuracy while maintaining efficiency through automated program selection based on object shape recognition.
2Ease of operation
If automated measurement program selection is used, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to inability to confirm program suitability
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides visual feedback by superimposing the measurement path on the three-dimensional model of the object. This feedback mechanism allows operators to confirm whether the selected measurement program is appropriate before execution, thereby maintaining reliability while enjoying the ease of automated program selection.
3Speed
If jig attachment is not verified, then measurement speed is improved, but safety deteriorates due to potential collisions
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification by displaying the measurement path superimposed on the three-dimensional model before actual measurement execution. This preliminary action allows operators to detect potential collisions caused by incorrect jig attachment or object positioning, preventing harmful effects while maintaining measurement speed through automated processes.
