Imaging system, imaging device, method of imaging, and storage medium

An imaging system, comprising:

• a first body;
• a first projector that is provided in the first body and projects a reference pattern indicating at least a part of first model information including at least one of shape information and texture information of an object toward the object;
• a second body;
• a second imager that is provided in the second body and images the object onto which the reference pattern is projected;
• an information calculator that calculates second model information including at least a part of shape information and texture information of the object based on an imaging result of the second imager;
• and
• a pattern extractor that extracts the reference pattern projected by the first projector from the imaging result of the second imager.

An imaging device, comprising:

• a body;
• an imager that is provided in the body and images an object and a reference pattern projected onto the object;
• a pattern extractor that extracts the reference pattern projected onto the object from an imaging result of the imager;
• and
• an information calculator that is provided in the body and uses the imaging result of the imager and the reference pattern extracted by the pattern extractor to calculate model information including at least one of shape information and texture information of the object.

An imaging device, comprising:

• a body;
• an imager that is provided in the body and images a feature part provided on a surface of an object;
• a pattern extractor that extracts the feature part of the object from an imaging result of the imager;
• and
• an information calculator that is provided in the body and uses the imaging result of the imager and the feature part to calculate model information including at least one of shape information and texture information of the object.

A method of imaging, comprising:

• imaging an object by a first imager provided in a first body;
• calculating first model information including at least one of shape information and texture information of the object based on an imaging result of the first imager by a first information calculator provided in the first body;
• projecting a reference pattern indicating at least a part of the first model information calculated by the first information calculator toward the object;
• imaging the object onto which the reference pattern is projected by a second imager provided in a second body;
• calculating second model information including at least one of shape information and texture information of the object based on an imaging result of the second imager by a second information calculator provided in the second body;
• and
• extracting the reference pattern projected by the first projector from the imaging result of the second imager.

A storage medium storing therein a program that causes a computer to execute:

• imaging a feature part provided on a surface of an object by an imager provided in a body;
• extracting the feature part of the object from an imaging result of the imager;
• and
• calculating model information including at least one of shape information and texture information of the object by using the imaging result of the imager and the feature part by an information calculator provided in the body.
