US 2026/0303953 A1 · IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGING WORK ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND IMAGING WORK ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Abstract

Provided is a device that can clearly indicate, to a user conducting imaging work, a point requiring immediate improvement in the imaging work, thereby enabling the user's proper imaging work regardless of their skill level. An imaging device for imaging a measurement target site, thereby allowing a 3D measurement operation to be performed for generating 3D space information on the measurement target site based on captured images thereof, performs operations including: displaying work assistance information regarding imaging work in which a user images the measurement target site while moving therein; determining whether work assistance that improves the user's imaging work is necessary based on states of the captured images (e.g., states regarding blur occurrence, generation of point clouds, and extraction of feature points); and when work assistance is necessary, indicating a warning message that prompts the user to take action for improvement of the user's imaging work.

Dependent claims

An imaging device for imaging a measurement target site, thereby allowing a 3D measurement operation to be performed for generating 3D space information on the measurement target site based on captured images thereof, the imaging device comprising:

an imaging device body held by a user;
an imaging module provided in the imaging device body to image the measurement target site;
a display device for displaying work assistance information regarding imaging work in which the user causes the imaging module to image the measurement target site while moving therein with holding the imaging device body;
and
a processor for controlling the imaging module and the display device,
wherein the processor performs operations including:
determining, based on states of the captured images, whether or not work assistance that improves a state of the user's imaging work is necessary;
and
when determining that work assistance is necessary, displaying work assistance information on the display device, the work assistance information prompting the user to take action for improvement of the user's imaging work.

an imaging device body held by a user;
an imaging module provided in the imaging device body to image the measurement target site;
a display device for displaying work assistance information regarding imaging work in which the user causes the imaging module to image the measurement target site while moving therein with holding the imaging device body;
and
a processor for controlling the imaging module and the display device,
wherein the processor performs operations including:
displaying a customization screen on the display device, the customization screen including an entry section that enables the user to select at least one of a plurality of items, for which subsequent operations are performed,
for the at least one item selected by the user through the customization screen, determining whether or not work assistance is necessary and also determining what is provided as work assistance,
when determining that work assistance is necessary, performing a work assistance operation that includes displaying work assistance information on the display device.
