The VMT OSC 6D (Object Shape Capture) image processing system by VMT Vision Machine Technic Bildverarbeitungssysteme GmbH enables 3D position recognition of objects and assemblies for guiding manipulators or 6-axis robots. It no longer relies on optical features such as holes, corners and edges, but on 3D shape-based detection of objects and assemblies. As a result, the system can also detect components that do not have concise optical features. The system is scalable and can capture both very small and particularly large-volume components or assemblies. The system is set up and commissioned using only CAD data of the robot cell and the object.
247MP CMOS by Sony
Sony recently released a 247MP rolling shutter CMOS image sensor available in monochrome (IMX811-AAMR) and color (IMX811-AAQR) variants which have a 64.84mm diagonal, a square pixel array, as well as 5.3fps.
