Lighting and exposure for 3D vision on reflective parts: a practical guide
Mirror geometry, enclosures, diffuse light, polarisation, filters, multiple exposures and projected texture: what really helps a 3D camera on glossy and metallic parts.
Bin picking oily metal parts: what changes when there is an oil film
Oil makes metal shiny, varies from batch to batch and collects in the bin. What that means for 3D vision, detection, grasping and maintenance in a bin-picking cell.
3D sensing methods for reflective parts compared: stereo, structured light, laser, ToF and light field
How passive and active stereo, fringe projection, laser triangulation, time of flight, deflectometry and light field cope with glossy, oily and metallic parts – and when to combine them.
Why shiny parts fool 3D cameras – and what helps
Highlights that saturate, reflections that move with the viewpoint, light bouncing between parts: the physics behind holes and ghost points in 3D data of glossy and metallic parts.
