Software-based 3D stereo vision system uses two cameras working together in the same way that a human uses two eyes.
Scorpion Vision has developed a novel software-based 3D stereo vision system that uses two cameras working together in the same way that a human uses two eyes The images of the subject are taken from two different angles; Scorpion is able to create a third image which is a combination of the two, with the perspective removed
Thus, the image appears to be a top down view of the subject.
The 3D vision algorithms can then extrapolate the vertical distance from the subject; whereas with 2D vision only the x and y components were ever possible.
This offers major advantages in many industrial vision scenarios, and one major benefactor is robot vision where the ability to have x, y and z means the robot can now be given height as well as position co-ordinates. Request a free brochure from Scorpion Vision ...
