Abstract
A three-dimensional data matching system is disclosed. Data matching is performed by merging distance information and image information. Therefore, matching accuracy is improved even if a sensor with relatively low sensitivity is used. Matching data generated as a result of matching range data and CAD data is projected onto an image captured by a camera, an effective edge is extracted from the image, and an error of the matching data is corrected based on the effective edge, thereby improving matching accuracy.

11. A data matching method, comprising:
-
acquiring image information; matching range data acquired by a distance sensor and stored CAD data to generate matching data; extracting an effective edge corresponding to a portion of the image information in which the range data and the CAD data are not matched together for correcting for a matching error; and correcting the matching data to reduce or remove the matching error using the effective edge of the image information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
