Stereo measurement procedures
(RX (stereo measurement function) only)
The stereo optical adapter (optional) and the function expansion (optional) IPLEX RX (stereo mea-
surement function) are needed to do stereo measurements.
The 3D coordinates of each specified point are calculated by applying the principles of triangula-
tion to a set of images obtained using two objective lenses that are set in parallax. Measurements
are done based on these coordinates.
As the measurement results obtained here are affected by surface conditions of the measurement
object or image capturing conditions such as the brightness, Olympus cannot guarantee the ac-
curacy of measurement results. We recommended that users identify the measurement accuracy
through experiments.
This measurement method identifies a pair of corresponding points on the left image and the right
image (same location) obtained by using two objective lenses that are set in parallax. If the corre-
sponding points cannot be identified properly, the correct measurement results cannot be obtained.
Understand the information in each Chapter fully before using the stereo measurement function.
This stereo measurement function allows you to select the display mode of the live image from ei-
ther the monocular view type or the binocular view type.
The monocular view type is a display mode to observe the approach to the measurement area
easily on the screen.
