Non-Contact Stiffness Imager

本文提出了一种非接触式刚度成像仪，可以为我们提供环境中的刚度分布规律。利用送风系统和线激光传感器组成的实验系统，提出了在局部点向环境施力的方法和思路。我们把这个想法应用到内窥镜摄像机上，这样我们就可以得到伪刚度图案和视觉图案。我们还展示了几个显示该模式的实验结果。

This work proposed the Non-contact Stiffness Imager that could provide us with the pattern of Stiffness distribution of environment. While there were four combinations between the force applying method and the way for capturing the displacement, we picked up the combination in which the force was given to the environment at a local point and the idea by utilizing the experiment system composed of an air supply system and a line laser sensor. We applied the idea to an endoscope camera, so that we could obtain the pseudo-stiffness pattern as well as the visual pattern. We also showed a couple of experimental results exhibiting the pattern.
