Abstract

An object is to provide an image-sensing system which can acquire uniform images with a line sensor camera. An image-sensing system includes: a line sensor camera that shoots a workpiece in which a plurality of circumferential surfaces whose radii differ from each other are aligned in a direction of an axis and which is being machined while being rotated about the axis from a direction orthogonal to the axis so as to cover the entire workpiece in the direction of the axis; and a scan rate change unit which changes a scan rate of the line sensor camera to values that respectively correspond to the radii of the circumferential surfaces, and the line sensor camera shoots the workpiece at the scan rates which are changed to the values corresponding to the radii of the circumferential surfaces so as to respectively correspond to the circumferential surfaces.

Claims (4)

1. An image-sensing system comprising: a line sensor camera that shoots a workpiece in which a plurality of circumferential surfaces whose radii differ from each other are aligned in a direction of an axis and which is being machined while being rotated about the axis from a direction orthogonal to the axis so as to cover the entire workpiece in the direction of the axis; and

a scan rate change unit which changes a scan rate of the line sensor camera to values that respectively correspond to the radii of the circumferential surfaces,

wherein the line sensor camera shoots the workpiece at the scan rates which are changed to the values corresponding to the radii of the circumferential surfaces so as to respectively correspond to the circumferential surfaces.

2. The image-sensing system according to claim 1 , comprising: an image processing unit which extracts, from a plurality of images that are shot so as to respectively correspond to the circumferential surfaces, parts of the circumferential surfaces whose radii correspond to the values of the scan rates of the line sensor camera at which the images are shot, and which combines the extracted parts of the circumferential surfaces.
