3D Measurement

Available as an option to all versions of Scorpion vision software and contains a growing number of 3D specific tools. Methods include: Laser Profile Triangulation, Stereo vision, laser grid/point cloud.

  • Simple two step 3D camera calibration
  • Full 3D visualisation and 3D types in Scorpion including 3D geometry method set
  • Improved tool component model
  • Measuring object size independent of it's position
  • ExternalReference3D - Our accurate and easy to use 3D camera calibration. This tool is the basis for all 3D tools
  • ChangeReference3D - Moves a 2D plane using the 3D camera calibration. In robot vision this removes the need for multiple plane calibrations
  • Locate3D - Fast and accurate location of objects in space - x,y,z - using one, two, three or four cameras
  • ObjectPosition3D - Easy location of unknown 3D objects by combining information from multiple cameras. The third dimension of an object measured by a pattern matching algorithm. Retrofit 3D Robot Vision onto existing solutions without any hardware change - applies when camera is mounted on the robot.
