…scenes,” said Frantisek Takac, a strategic partners manager at Photoneo. “To recognize an object, navigate to it, inspect it, and pick it, a robot must get the object’s accurate 3D reconstruction, with exact X, Y, and Z coordinates that define the object’s position.” “The new technology of parallel structured light is based on a unique sensor architecture that acquires the image in one snapshot, as opposed to the sequential scanning of a standard image sensor. This means that the parallel structured light method practically freezes the 3D scene in time, Takac added. That enables the robots to see, he said,…
