3D in 2D Images – Part IV – Calculating the 3D pose of any 2D polygon

With the techniques shown in “3D in 2D Images – Part III“ we have the ability to create the 3D pose of any object represented by a 2D polygon – we can call it PolygonMatch3D based on the very powerful Scorpion Vision Software tool PolygonMatch which locates any occluded polygon with sub-pixel accuracy in 2D In [...]

Scorpion Vision add Spanish language support

We are proud to add Spanish language support to supplememt Norwegian, English and German with Scorpion Vision Software 9.2.

In the pipeline – CylinderMonoPose3D

We are continously working to improve Scorpion Vision Software with valuable features. One feature worth to mention is CylinderMonoPose3D – locate a cylinder with a single camera. The setup dialog contains the following properties: 3D camera calibration The diameter of the cylinder The two edge lines of the cylinder What can we do? How valuable [...]

Accurate 3D Measurements in 2D Images – Part III

Have you ever wonder at what angle you can measure at when working in 2D. My rule of thumb has been 20 to 30 or maybe 45 degrees if you have a proper 3D calibration or if you take the effort to calibrate in the object plane. This example has changed my understanding of extracting [...]

Scorpion Vision – A unique platform for defect detection

Optical Contamination and Defect Detection. The system is an inline 100% inspection solution. It has a unique led based illumination ensuring even illumination. The software uses a unique filterbased technique to look for a large range of defects: Large Area Contamination Small Area Contamination Dark Spots Suction Marks – custom shape contamination Lines and spots Shiny [...]

Scorpion Vision Apps are all about usability :)

We are pleased to read that we make Mr Grey at Machine Vision 4 Users happy! Scorpion Vision Apps are all about making nice system that provides functions to it’s users. The AutoFocus Touch System is a bright idea from Scorpion Vision Ltd – where we at Tordivel has provided a nice Scorpion Vision Apps [...]

Accurate 3D Measurement in 2D Images – Part II

Playing around with my 3D Stereo Vision profiles provides valuable insight into the difference between 2D machine vision and 3D machine vision. Measurement in 3D I have measured using stereo-vision the following values: r1 and r2 – the stop cock radius the values deviates with 0.02 mm the pixel-resolution is 0.08 mm – indicates sub-pixel repeatability [...]

Accurate 3D Measurement in 2D Images – Part I

Combining the two images below we can extract the 3D location (x,y,z) of any edge-point with sub-pixel accuracy in 3D. Measuring the 3D pose of the stop-cock The zoomed images shows the accuracy we get with Scorpion Vision Software 9. The following is measured: The 3D-position (x,y,z)  of two edge points z1 and z2 The [...]

Autofocused Video at your fingertips The Scorpion Vision Autofocus Touch Video System offers a quick and simple interface for monitoring live camera images. The touch-screen display allows the operator to monitor critical work and to make the finest autofocus adjustments with a single touch one the screen. The system consists of a compact industrial camera equipped with an autofocus mechanism built in [...]

Calculate Minimum Object Distances using STC

Easy to create useful machine vision functions with Scorpion Vision 9.1 and Scorpion Tool Components – STC. The image below shows a Scorpion Vision App concept calculating the minimum object distance between multiple objects.  This function can be crucial in many products or  automation system. The following Scorpion Tool Components are in actions: STC-0001-MinimumPolygonToPolygonDistance 1.0.0.11 Calculates [...]
