Object Detection

Object detection is an essential process where a vision system scans an object three-dimensionally, detects instances of an object, and helps complete a task associated with the object (product) – for example, changing the cake icing design according to the type of cake on a conveyor belt.

The use of smart 3D robotic vision is increasingly important to bolster a plant’s manufacturing flexibility. Hermary’s industrial laser scanners generate high-resolution Point Cloud data vital to many automation applications utilizing industrial robots or robotic arms – where vision guidance and spatial information are necessary for completing delicate tasks. Generally, the process involves:

• The scanners capture 3D Point Cloud data of varying sizes, shapes, and locations,
• Downstream image-processing algorithms identify instances of the target objects,
• Accurate spatial information is extracted to provide a path for the robotic arm, and
• A robotic arm executes its preprogrammed commands.
