Automated image acquisition method using motion device
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12002220B2) discloses an image acquisition method that involves obtaining a designated acquisition pose, determining motion control signals, and sending them to a motion device to drive either the image acquisition device or a target object. The motion device consists of a motion part with a first and second motion part, along with a motion restriction part comprising a guide rail. The method includes sending an acquisition control signal to capture an image of the target object at the designated pose, ensuring precise positioning for image acquisition.
Furthermore, the patent details additional features such as updating designated acquisition poses based on the image set, adding sample images to meet specific service conditions, and utilizing a motion restriction part to control the motion part's trajectory. The method also involves determining differences between sample images and adding them to the image set based on preset difference thresholds. The patent also covers the implementation of the method in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and an electronic device, highlighting the practical applications and potential technological advancements in image acquisition processes.
