It works with any number of fixed or robot mounted cameras for complete application flexibility. Visionpro 3D uses multiple sets of two-dimensional features found by field proven alignment tools, including Patmax, Patflex, and other geometric pattern matching tools. These tools tolerate non-uniform lighting and remain reliable even when patterns are partly covered, ensuring accurate part location under the most challenging conditions. Application performance is enhanced by precision calibration tools that adjust for optical distortion and camera position, and synchronize cameras with vision-guided robots. The 3D-tool is designed for a variety of stationary and robotic applications, such as racking/de-racking and de-palletizing, as well as kitting and assembly verification in automotive and other precision manufacturing industries. A starter kit for fast start up and easy training, which includes the Visionpro 3D software and a turnkey training application, is available. The training application comes with source code and all the hardware needed to get startet, including cameras, a tripod, and precision calibration plates.
