Simple Multi Function Vision System for 3D Data Acquisition

Abstract

We have developed a simple multi-function vision system for 3D data acquisition for a wide range of applications in robotics and automation. The system uses on CCD video camera and an active directed laser light source based on a direct drive spherical pointing motor (SPM). The anatomy of the system and algorithms used are described. System calibration methods and measurements of accuracy of the outputs are presented. A list of applications is shown.
