3D Camera Image Input

This processing item is for 3D measurement only. It sets the image input conditions and inputs an image from the camera. It also sets the 3D coordinates and the world coordinate system necessary for 3D measurement.
  • About 3D Coordinate Setting
    3D measurement is performed with a combination of two or three cameras. In order to accurately measure the height direction, the position of each camera must be accurately determined and the coordinates of two cameras must be linked. This procedure is referred to as "3D coordinate setting" and a custom calibration tool is used.
  • About World Coordinate System
    This is a coordinate system to indicate the spatial position of an object. It is used to handle displaying and moving of an object. In order to express the measurement in the coordinate system (world coordinate system) of an external device (such as industrial robot), the measurement must be converted to the world coordinate system. This operation is referred to as "world coordinates".
    The parameters used for the world coordinates are produced by photographing the calibration target with a camera and performing sampling measurement at several locations.

Used for the following case

  • This processing item must be applied when measuring with 3D camera images
    Specify the conditions for inputting images from the camera and for storing images of the measured objects.
    Also, set up for linking the coordinates of the two cameras for 3D measurement and the settings for converting the coordinates to the spatial coordinates (the world coordinates).
    3D Camera Image Input - Overview
Important
  • When performing 3D measurement, be sure to insert the [3D Camera Image Input] into the scene.
  • When switching from a monochrome camera to color camera, reconfigure the settings in the following units.
