DRIVE
August 22, 2012
An omnidirectional image measuring instrument comprises a horizontal rotary table 4 which is horizontally supported by a support portion 1 and provided to be rotatable in the horizontal direction, a horizontal rotary driving unit 3 capable of rotating the horizontal rotary table at a constant speed, an EDM device 11 and an image pickup device 12 provided on the horizontal rotary table, and a control device 13 for synchronously controlling a distance measurement by the EDM device and an image pickup by the image pickup device, and in the omnidirectional image measuring instrument, the control device controls the horizontal rotary driving unit, rotates the horizontal rotary table at every predetermined angle, operates the image pickup device, acquires single images at every predetermined rotational angle over a total circumference, combines the single images, prepares an omnidirectional image, rotates the horizontal rotary table, performs scanning with a distance measuring light from the EDM device, carries out the distance measurement at every predetermined rotational angle, carries out the distance measurement over the total circumference, calculates a horizontal angle and a vertical angle of a distance measuring point from the omnidirectional image and obtains three-dimensional data of the measuring point.
