Machine vision provides machines with a gift of sight, complementing or replacing manual inspection tasks, using cameras and image processing. Machine vision applications range from basic tasks, like presence detection, to real-time inspection and grading tasks in harsh environments. Manufacturing firms across the world are realizing the benefits of machine vision systems, particularly in areas where redundant tasks, like inspection, should be performed with precision. They are playing an essential role in high-speed production lines and hazardous environments. Some of the significant benefits offered by these systems include increased productivity, reduced machine downtime, and tighter process control. In case of a pure 2D machine vision system, the target object image acquired for processing is effectively a flat, 2D plan view. This 2D image does not provide any height information. When utilizing 2D cameras, Z (distance from camera) is generally assumed. This is not as effective as parts may move, change size, etc. and then the 2D camera may miscalculate the location. Owing to such reasons, end-user industries are embracing 3D systems, that allows for a clean part pick-up with known positional data (X, Y, and Z), despite any disruption.
