…data and color of objects in motion is robotic painting or sandblasting of large objects such as transportation containers. A robot equipped with MotionCam-3D Color can inspect a container and recognize any 3D surface deformation and colored defects such as rust. Based on the results, the robot can then move to the next steps. They may include rust and paint removal, blast cleaning (e.g. sandblasting or water-jet blasting), pressure washing, priming, or painting. Thanks to Parallel Structured Light enabling 3D scanning in motion and the PhoXi 3D Instant Meshing for instant 3D model creation from all perspectives, the objects can…
