We assume that the spinning mirror is centered at the origin and that its axis of rotation is the vertical y-axis, with the video projector at the nodal point P above the mirror as in top figure. We further assume that the viewpoint for which the correct perspective should be obtained is at a height h and a distance d from the y axis.
Industrial laser projectors have been on the market since the early 2000s. Laser projectors are mainly used as optical guidance systems. They enable working without templates in many manufacturing processes by showing directly on the workpiece how material needs to be positioned or mounted, so that the employee is led by manual or semiautomatic productional processes visually.
The active stereo vision is a form of stereo vision which actively employs a light such as a laser or a structured light to simplify the stereo matching problem. The opposed term is passive stereo vision. Conventional structured-light vision (SLV) employs a structured light or laser, and finds projector-camera correspondences. [2] [3]
Here, 2 laser beams which are each incident to the optical axis at an angle φ, are superimposed on the surface of the object. For a point P, which moves at velocity v through the intersection point of the two laser beams, the frequencies of the two laser beams are Doppler shifted in accordance with the above formula.
Projector-camera systems may also be used for artistic and entertainment purposes. [2] A pro-cam system consists of a vertical screen for implementing interpersonal space where front-facing videos are displayed, and a horizontal projected screen on the tabletop for implementing shared workspace where downward facing videos are overlapped.
The geometry of a pinhole camera. Note: the x 1 x 2 x 3 coordinate system in the figure is left-handed, that is the direction of the OZ axis is in reverse to the system the reader may be used to. The geometry related to the mapping of a pinhole camera is illustrated in the figure. The figure contains the following basic objects:
The optical setup of a schlieren imaging system may comprise the following main sections: [citation needed] Parallel beam, focusing element, stop (sharp edge) and a camera. The parallel beam may be achieved by a point-like light source (a laser focused into a pinhole is sometimes used) placed in the focal point of a collimating optical element.
An optical comparator (often called just a comparator in context) or profile projector is a device that applies the principles of optics to the inspection of manufactured parts. In a comparator, the magnified silhouette of a part is projected upon the screen, and the dimensions and geometry of the part are measured against prescribed limits .
