Description

Easy3DLaserLine provides the necessary functions to implement a high-precision calibrated laser line triangulation setup. Easy3D is required when using any Open eVision’s 3D library and is provided when purchasing Easy3DLaserLine, Easy3DObject, Easy3DMatch or the 3D Bundle.

3D Laser Line Extraction Into A Depth Map

Easy3D generates a depth map from a series of images that contain a laser line projected on the inspected object. Each pixel of the resulting depth map contains the position of the laser line in the image. Several extraction modes are supported as well as various filters. The software line extractor is fully compatible with the hardware implementation in the Coaxlink Quad 3D-LLE frame grabber.

DualLaserLineExtraction

Dual Laser Line Extraction

Supported by software and hardware implementations, the dual laser line extraction process reduces the effect of occlusions. Occlusions occur when some parts of the objects are not lit by any laser. Using two lasers with different angles reduces these undefined areas. The object-based calibration included in Easy3DLaserLine allows combining the acquired data into a single calibrated point cloud.

Easy3DLaserLine Calibration

Calibration

Some processing can be performed directly on a depth map. However, most 3D measurements need distortion-free data and metric representations, therefore calibrating the laser triangulation setup is required. Easy3D computes a calibration model applied to depth maps to transform them into calibrated 3D point clouds. This calibration model is based on the depth map of a reference object, acquired using the laser triangulation setup that requires calibration.

Neo Licensing System

Neo is the new Licensing System. It is reliable, state-of-the-art, and is now available to store Open eVision and eGrabber licenses. Neo allows you to choose where to activate your licenses, either on a Neo Dongle or in a Neo Software Container. You buy a license, you decide later.

Neo Dongles offer a sturdy hardware and provide the flexibility to be transferred from a computer to another. Neo Software Containers do not need any dedicated hardware, and instead are linked to the computer on which they have been activated.

Neo ships with its own, dedicated Neo License Manager which comes in two flavours: an intuitive, easy to use, Graphical User Interface and a Command Line Interface that allows for easy automation of Neo licensing procedures.
