A method for selectively and easily quantifying the L-form and/or D-form amino acids to be measured using an aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (AARS) with high sensitivity, and an amino acid quantification kit. A method for quantifying amino acids (L-AA and/or D-AA) in a sample using an AARS, wherein the amino acids and the AARS are released from an aminoacyl AMP-AARS complex once formed, and they are used again for forming the aminoacyl AMP-AARS complex, so that reaction products such as pyrophosphoric acid to be measured can be ultimately produced up to a molar number larger than that of the amino acids contained in the sample, and an amino acid quantification kit for performing the method.

[Problem] To provide: a method for selectively and easily quantifying an amino acid to be measured (L-form or D-form amino acid) with high sensitivity using aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (AARS); and an amino acid quantification kit. [Solution] The present invention pertains to: a method for quantifying an amino acid (L-form or D-form amino acid) in a sample by means of AARS, said method being characterized in that AARS and an amino acid are released from an aminoacyl-AMP AARS complex once formed and are used once again for forming an aminoacyl-AMP AARS complex so as to ultimately produce a reaction product such as pyrophoric acid to be measured in an amount that is greater in terms of the number of moles than the amino acid included in the sample; and an amino acid quantification kit for implementing said method.

A three-dimensional measurement system (100) for estimating the depth of a measurement object (4) on which a two-dimensional pattern is projected by projection light via a projection optical system, by comparing image data captured and obtained by a camera (2) and a reference image data group correlated with the depth of the measurement object (4) and acquired in advance. The two-dimensional pattern is projected on the measurement object (4) via a coded aperture pattern provided to the projection optical system. The depth of the measurement object (4) is estimated by image processing in which a stereo method for performing image matching based on a parallax of the projection optical system and an imaging means with respect to the measurement object (4), and a DfD method based on blur in the optical axis direction of the coded aperture pattern in the image data of the measurement object (4) are both applied.

This heartbeat measurement method is a heartbeat measurement method for measuring a person's heartbeat in a non-contact manner by obtaining changes in the three-dimensional shape of the chest. This heartbeat measurement method comprises: a first step for obtaining the three-dimensional shape of the surface of a person's thoracoabdominal wall as three-dimensional coordinate point group data; a second step for calculating, as first time-series data, the change over time of the three-dimensional coordinates at the points constituting said three-dimensional coordinate point group data; and a third step for calculating, as second time-series data, the change over time of the three-dimensional coordinates caused by the heartbeat by extracting a component in the frequency band of the heartbeat through band-pass filter processing with respect to said first time-series data.
