PhoXi 3D scanners are based on sophisticated structured light imaging technology, in which the second camera in the traditional two-camera stereo capture has been replaced with a pattern projector.
The pattern projector generates a coding image on the surface of the item to be scanned, which allows accurate identification of the shapes. The greatest advantages of the technology used by Photoneo include independence from the target surface shape or material and improved imaging speed. The equipment’s embedded processing and control unit takes care of all the required calculations, producing final data as Point Cloud, Depth Map), normals,textures, and per pixel Confidence.
Photoneo 3D Localization C++ SDK allows target localization with the help of CAD models. The system is provided with information about the target component by entering its CAD model, based on which the system searches for a matching component in the area scanned and sends information on the location of the component back to the system. In some cases, it is also possible to specify one or more pick-up points, which are considered when returning coordinates.
Possible applications include, for example, various object recognition solutions, automatic picking and stacking, and inspection, measurement and analysis solutions.
