Range finder device and camera
First Claim
1. A camera for shape measuring or object extracting, having light-emitting means for irradiating an object with projected light having a specified radiation pattern, for image-picking up reflected light of said light-emitting means from said object to obtain a depth image using light intensity of the image picked up, characterized by comprising:
- a plane display with a touch panel; and
when a plurality of points in an object are denoted by the user'"'"'s touch operation while said picked-up image is being displayed on the touch panel, a distance calculation part for calculating an actual length between these points thus denoted from said depth image data.

Abstract
A range finder device, for measuring, when a plurality of projected lights having radiation patterns whose light intensity differs three-dimensional space-wise are irradiated onto an object from a light source on a time-sharing basis to image-pick up reflected light of the projected light from the object with a camera, a distance using the light intensity of an image picked up, characterized in that, with respect to each of a plurality of surfaces including the center of the light source and the center of a lens, there is obtained, in advance, relation between an angle of each projected light from the light source and light intensity ratio in each surface, characterized in that, at the time of actual distance measurement, light intensity of each pixel of the camera is measured, and on the basis of the light intensity thus measured, and relation between the angle and the light intensity ratio on a predetermined surface corresponding to a coordinate position of the pixel measured, there is obtained the angle corresponding to the light intensity of the predetermined pixel thus measured, and characterized in that, on the basis of these light intensity measured, the angles obtained and further two-dimensional coordinate position information on the predetermined pixel on the image, a distance to the object is calculated.
