About This Webinar
3D sensors are essential for depth perception in real-world scenarios. The most common methods to achieve depth perception are stereo, time-of-flight, lidar and laser triangulation. In this talk, the trade-offs of these 3D vision technologies as they pertain to industrial robotic applications are discussed. Se will focus on stereo vision, its key design drivers, and the processing pipeline. Several use cases of deploying stereo cameras in various industrial robotic applications are presented and Se discusses some of the common challenges as well as ways to tackle them.
