Intro
Mech-Eye SDK version 2.3 is officially released, featuring a significant algorithm upgrade that greatly enhances the imaging effects of PRO and LSR cameras in various reflective scenarios.
Point cloud demo
In 3D vision, imaging of reflective metal workpieces poses challenges. The intense reflection effects on the metal surface lead to issues such as glare spots and shadows, making accurate and complete 3D imaging complex. The following are some typical challenging scenes in reflective imaging:
In response to these typical reflective scenes, Mech-Mind has introduced a completely new projection scheme and imaging algorithm, officially released in Mech-Eye SDK 2.3. After upgrading to Mech-Eye SDK 2.3, when using Mech-Eye PRO and Mech-Eye LSR cameras, you can optionally utilize the new “Reflective” mode, enhancing the imaging effects in various reflective scenarios.
Highly reflective metal workpiece with oil on the surface
Imaging challenges: Strong reflections on metal workpieces, combined with surface oil stains, pose difficulties for point cloud imaging.
Image-capturing camera: Mech-Eye PRO S
Working distance: 1m
Highly reflective metal workpieces packed in turnover boxes with plastic film
Imaging challenges: Intense reflections on metal workpieces, coupled with reflective plastic film on the turnover box, disrupt point cloud imaging.
Image-capturing camera: Mech-Eye PRO S
Working distance: 1m
Reflective brake discs
Imaging challenges: Strong reflections on metal workpieces, coupled with processing marks on the surface, further impact point cloud imaging.
Image-capturing camera: Mech-Eye LSR L
Working distance: 2.5m
Reflective cylindrical shafts
Imaging challenges: Strong reflections on cylindrical rods with curved surfaces, exhibiting varying reflection characteristics based on different orientations, pose challenges to the integrity and authenticity of point cloud imaging, particularly in capturing accurate contours.
Image-capturing camera: Mech-Eye PRO S
Working distance: 1m
Cylindrical shaft arranged vertically (orientation parallel to the projected stripe light’s stripes)
Cylindrical shaft arranged horizontally (orientation perpendicular to the projected stripe light’s stripes)
Metal objects inside a reflective deep bin
Imaging challenges: Strong reflections on metal workpieces; mirror-like reflections on the sidewalls of deeply reflective containers interfere with point cloud imaging.
Image-capturing camera: Mech-Eye PRO M
Working distance: 2m
Air conditioner compressor
Imaging challenges: The surface of the compressor is made of black and reflective material, with an irregular arc shape. At the same time, the compressor is placed on a white foam partition, and the contrast of the scene is very high, which increases the difficulty of point cloud imaging.
Image-capturing camera: Mech-Eye PRO M
Working distance: 2m
Lithium battery cell
Imaging challenges: The surface of the battery cell simultaneously features black patches and a reflective aluminum material top cover, posing challenges for point cloud imaging.
Image-capturing camera: Mech-Eye LSR XL(not offically released)
Working distance: 3m
