摘要:
A plurality of projectors are positioned in spaced relationship about an object with a surface to be geometrically analyzed. The projectors have cooperating masks which project onto the object illuminated patterns that subdivide the object into predetermined sections. Each mask has a predetermined pattern of sections, and is applied in sequence. The masks are cooperatively advanced in the projectors, with a separate illuminating pattern prevailing on the object each time that the masks are advanced. The combinations of the patterns on the masks define closely-spaced sections subdividing the object. The patterns are coded so that each section is uniquely defined in coded form. Cameras having the entire object within their field of view, photograph the object each time a separate mask is applied.

A display arrangement in which a viewer experiences the effect of depth in conjunction with a two-dimensional display. Varying depth effects are applied to the two-dimensional display by moving rapidly transparent elements of varying thickness transversely to the direction of vision of the viewer. The transparent elements are held and mounted in a rotating disc in the form of segments, and the disc with the transparent segments is rotated rapidly in front of the two-dimensional display.

Reticle structure defining a succession of contiguous cells, separately discernible upon illumination thereof, is spacedly positioned relative to a discernible indicium, such as a light source. The indicium is disposed in a known location relative to the reticle structure and the cells and indicium are viewed jointly from a given location. Information is derived for use in determining the positional coordinates of the given location with respect to the indicium.

A method for use in object examination involves the subdivision of a lens field of view into a succession of cells, the encoding of such cell succession and the making of a record of radiant energy reflected into the lens field of view from the object and issuing from the cell succession.

The surface to be sensed or scanned is placed in the path of a projector which is moved along an axis of the surface. The path of motion of the projector is subdivided into predetermined sections which are illuminated by the projector in accordance with a predetermined sequential pattern. This procedure of moving the projector is repeated a predetermined number of times, with a separate illuminating pattern prevailing each time that the projector is moved relative to the surface and traverses the entire surface to be scanned. The combinations of the patterns obtained from the repeated scannings of the projector define closely-spaced sections of the surface. The patterns are coded so that each section is uniquely defined in coded form. A camera having the entire surface within its field of view photographs the surface each time that the projector is moved along the axis of the surface.

An arrangement for machining surfaces with a numerically controlled tool in which the tool is provided with a parabolic profile to obtain a substantially smooth surface finish. The workpiece to be machined is moved relative to the cutting tool in substantially a plane of the workpiece. After milling a contour along that plane, the workpiece or the tool is incremented to an adjacent parallel plane for the purpose of milling another contour on the workpiece. The slope of the surface element on the workpiece between the adjacent planes is computed, and the cutting tool is oriented so that the portion of the tool in contact with the workpiece along that surface element, possesses the computed slope. The cutting tool may be formed with cutting edges having straight-line segments interconnected and directed substantially along a parabolic surface. The slopes on the cutting edges of the tool vary in magnitude from substantially zero to infinity.
摘要:
A method for reproducing an object surface wherein a time succession of spatially encoded different radiant energy patterns are projected at the object surface and records are made of the object surface during such projections from two or more spatially separated locations. The sets of records recorded at the separate spatial locations are then utilized to determine the spatial points on the object surface.
