Abstract
A sewing machine includes a creating portion that creates a projection image being an image that includes a characteristic point and that is to be projected onto a sewing object, a projecting portion that projects onto the sewing object the projection image created by the creating portion, an image capture portion that is mounted in a position being different from a position of the projecting portion and that creates a captured image by image capture of the characteristic point projected by the projecting portion, and a computing portion that computes a thickness of the sewing object based on the projection image created by the creating portion and the captured image created by the image capture portion.
Claims4
A sewing machine, comprising:
- a creating portion that creates a projection image being an image that includes a characteristic point and that is to be projected onto a sewing object;
- a projecting portion that projects onto the sewing object the projection image created by the creating portion;
- an image capture portion that is mounted in a position being different from a position of the projecting portion and that creates a captured image by image capture of the characteristic point projected by the projecting portion;
- and
- a computing portion that computes a thickness of the sewing object based on the projection image created by the creating portion and the captured image created by the image capture portion.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a control program executable on a sewing machine, the program comprising instructions that cause a computer of the sewing machine to perform the steps of:
- creating a projection image being an image that includes a characteristic point and that is to be projected onto a sewing object;
- acquiring a captured image created by image capture of the characteristic point projected on the sewing object;
- and
- computing a thickness of the sewing object based on the projection image and the captured image.
