For many centuries, the principle of triangulation - that is the geometric measurement using three-point relationships - has been relatively well known. In Europe, the land survey method established ...

3D reconstruction and depth measurement are used in a variety of applications such as inspection, forensics, virtual reality, etc. For example, a virtual reality-based system needs a 3D representation ...

In this paper, a structured light vision measurement method using a scanning laser line and a positioning laser line is proposed. The novel method enables the scanning laser plane to slide along a ...

3D scanning is transforming quality control by replacing slow, point-based measurements with complete surface data capture that maps every part against its CAD model in minutes. Manufacturers can now ...
