TECH FOCUS: 3D VISION Euresys: Featured product


laser triangulation with advanced image formation to create 3D renderings of parts under inspection; while the 3D-A5000 series is an area scan 3D camera designed to capture high-resolution 3D images. Euresys provides software


tools that can address the various challenges of evaluating and prototyping 3D vision applications. The suite of Open eVision 3D libraries can handle the rendering of data sourced from various brands and types of 3D sensors, while the Easy3D foundation library generates 3D representations that can be quickly processed for interactive display using the 3DViewer. The software can also facilitate measurements of entire scenes or specific objects within them via Easy3DObject, as well as comparison and validation against a reference using Easy3DMatch. IDS has developed and


produced products for industrial image processing since 1997. The company’s Ensenso 3D cameras were designed to provide a solution for 3D image capture that is precise, quick, and cost- efficient. Ensenso N, C, X and XR cameras work according to the stereo vision principle, while the Ensenso S series uses an alternative 3D method with structured laser light, which enables a more compact camera design. The latest model is Ensenso C, a stereo vision camera that generates 3D point clouds and 2D colour (RGB) images, thanks to an additionally integrated image sensor.


Industrial Vision Systems is a global provider of vision


systems, machine vision and automated inspection machinery. The company offers 3D profiles, sensors and 3D vision solutions for improved factory production, quality control, scanning and process optimisation. Lucid’s Helios2 Time-


of-Flight (ToF) cameras are used in a variety of applications such as pick and place, palletisation/ depalletisation, warehouse, robotics and metrology. The Helios2 is growing in popularity, according to Lucid, thanks to its ease of use, reduced footprint, and cost-effectiveness. Lucid offers a range of 3D ToF cameras, including the Helios2+, featuring HDR and High- Speed Mode; the Helios2 Wide, providing a wider 108° x 78° field of view (FOV); and the Helios2 Ray, which Lucid says is designed for outdoor applications. Orbbec’s mission is to democratise 3D vision technology, by developing a full-stack platform for industry solution developers and offering smart products with performance and value. The company’s latest launch in this area is the Persee N1, an all-in-one combination of a stereo-vision 3D camera and a purpose-built computer based on the Nvidia Jetson platform, equipped with industry- standard interfaces for the most useful accessories and data connections. Photoneo designs and


manufactures 3D vision systems, including ToF cameras and structured light scanners, for applications including bin-picking, logistics, and automotive assembly. The company


Euresys’ software tools address the various challenges of evaluating and prototyping 3D vision applications. A bundle of Open eVision 3D libraries manages the rendering of data coming directly from multiple 3D sensors, brands and types (e.g. Depth Maps,


Point Clouds, Zmaps). The resulting 3D representations produced by the Easy3D foundation library are then processed for a fast and interactive display (3DViewer), while measurements of the whole or specific objects in it (Easy3DObject) or comparison and validation compared to a reference (Easy3DMatch). A specific solution is also provided for the extraction of 3D information from a laser line setup. Euresys Easy3DLaserLine provides the necessary functions to implement a high-precision calibrated single or dual laser line triangulation setup. Open eVision 3D Studio (a free tool) drastically simplifies


the configuration of single and dual 3D laser line inspection systems using the Coaxlink Quad 3D-LLE frame grabber, as well as the Easy3D and Easy3DLaserLine libraries.


recently introduced a 3D scanning method to improve the signal readouts on transparent and shiny objects. The new method of MotionCam-3D relies on Photoneo’s Computational Image Sensor and the Parallel Structured Light technology, to offer higher scanning speeds. Sick’s 3D vision portfolio


spans the full range from high- speed 3D cameras to easy- to-configure stand-alone 3D vision sensors. The company most recently launched the Nova 3D Presence Inspection sensorApp, for use with its compact Visionary-T Mini AP camera. The combination is designed to configure machine vision inspections in 3D in a snapshot. Teledyne Dalsa


manufactures machine vision components, including sensors, and software. The company’s Z-Trak is a series of 3D profile sensors designed to deliver high-resolution,


real-time height measurements using laser triangulation. The lightweight profile sensors find uses in applications such as in-line measurement, inspection, identification and guidance applications in automotive, electronics, semiconductor and factory automation. Zivid’s range of 3D colour


cameras and software is designed to help its customers to increase efficiency and productivity in a range of applications including de-palletising, bin-picking, pick and place, assembly, packaging, material handling, robotic welding, inspection and quality control. Zivid 3D machine vision is also ideally suited to smart factories and warehouses for Industry 4.0. This is not an exhaustive


list. If you provide products for 3D vision and would like your company to be included, please let us know at: editor.imaging@ europascience.com. i
