Using 3D sensors in robotic welding helps factories improve the weld quality and the laborious manual welding operation, which is particularly good for welding in a dangerous work environment with high temperature and fumes. Revopoint’s Areascan series encompasses 5 models of different sizes of industrial 3D camera to capture objects at distances ranging from 50mm…
Automation technology has been increasingly applied in the time of automation and AI. In the past decade, industrial robots have become an unstoppable trend on the production line. Many robots have integrated vision systems, using machine vision technology to detect, identify and measure objects to collect necessary information for subsequent robot movements. As we all…
For professionals who use 3D cameras a lot, calibration is not a new concept. It is one of the prerequisites to capture good results. Here some basic knowledge about 3D camera calibration is explained. You will know the definition, purpose and common methods of 3D camera calibration. What is camera calibration? Camera calibration is a…
On January 19, 2018, Intel announced the update of the RealSense deep camera product line, bringing two new products: D415 and D435. According to Intel, the new depth camera is ideal for hardware prototype designers and software developers. The two RealSense D400 series cameras can capture a range up to 10 meters, and can be…
3D scanner is an imaging device that captures real-world objects or scenes to collect data on shape and appearance (e.g. color, texture). The output 3D point cloud containing three-dimensional information can be used in a wide range of applications like product design, quality inspection and ancient art preservation. In Types of 3D Scanners (1): Handheld 3D…
In the datasheet and promotional materials of common 3D depth cameras on the market, we often see two terms: accuracy and precision, expressed as “high-accuracy” or “high-precision”. On dictionary, the two terms are defined mutually, so they are easily mistaken to be the same thing. Actually, in the fields of science, engineering, and statistics, they…
You must have heard of the concept of machine vision, which refers to the technology and methods used to provide automatic image inspection and analysis for a wide array of industrial applications like inspection, process control, and robotic navigation. But often the images captured and processed by the camera are two-dimensional, lacking the third-dimension information…
3D scanning is the process of analyzing real-world object or environment to collect data on its shape and color. The data collected contain the distance information of the object/scene, and can be used to construct digital 3D models. 3D scanner is an imaging device that creates 3D models. Like cameras, 3D scanners can capture clear…
You must have heard a million times about resolution of smartphones or photos. Every time a new smart phone is released, camera setup and resolution are always one of the highlights. On Sept. 24, China’s smartphone company Xiaomi unveiled a concept phone MIX Alpha, boasting an unprecedented 108MP ultra-clear camera, able to shoot 12032 x…
3D camera is a kind of camera that can capture objects or scenes in three dimensions. Different from images recorded by traditional cameras, the images captured by 3D cameras contain depth information of the scene, to maximally reconstruct a real-world three-dimensional viewing experience. Depth perception enables the 3D camera’s application in a wide variety of…
