HALCON 13 Spotlight Preview: Improved 3D-Matching and 3D Reconstruction

3D flat-surface imaging made more robust
Halcon 13 offers improved surface-based 3D matching for flat surfaces applications.

Particularly supportive of picking-of-boxes applications, the new algorithm analyzes the edges of the model and the 3D scene making ambiguities in flat surfaces solvable and the finding of objects. in their exact positions, made more robust.

Halcon 13, additionally, offers a new and higher-quality way of reconstructing 3D objects from multiple cameras by using the information from all camera view simultaneously. This capability leads to more robust results than were previously possible using the common stereo reconstruction methods.

Further, colour information transferred by HALCON 13 from the input images to the reconstructed object results in better visualisation or for further processing, for example, by a 3D printer.
