Merging TOF Depth and 2D Color Data for 3D Robot Perception
Presented by: Kimberly Matsinger, Basler, Inc.
Computer vision can make robots "smarter," and it helps with expanding their fields of application. Time-of-flight (TOF) cameras capture precise 3D depth data in real time and offer compact and robust 3D vision solutions. For some robotic applications, it is useful to merge the depth data with the RGB data from a 2D color camera. The result is a point cloud in the object's true colors. This compensates for missing depth information, assists in classifications based on object color, or enables neural networks to be pre-trained on 2D color data.
In her presentation, Kimberly Matsinger, product market manager for the Americas at Basler, invites attendees to learn more about 2D and 3D vision-guided robotics.
