Description
Detection Of 3D Objects In Point Cloud And ZMap
Easy3DObject uses an innovative algorithm to detect objects in Point Clouds or ZMaps. It is able to efficiently extract small and large objects, whatever their shape.
Compute Precise 3D Measurements
For each object detected, Easy3DObject computes 3D geometric measurements. All measurements are expressed in real-world units (such as millimeters or microns). These values include the length, width and height of the object, the orientation and tilt angles, the area and the volume. These measurements can then be used to perform 3D inspection, for example by comparing the results with reference values.
Automatic Extraction Of Object Local Supporting Plane
For each object detected, Easy3DObject extracts the local supporting plane. It is then used as the reference for various calculations like height, top position or volume. Using only the area surrounding the object in this process makes Easy3DObject a powerful tool for the inspection of products with curved or non-flat support.
2D And 3D Graphical Display Of The Results
The resulting object list can be displayed in 2D and 3D graphical contexts. On an image, the objects can be shown with their bounding rectangle, average position or extracted pixels. On a 3D Viewer, the objects are displayed with their bounding boxes, planes or top positions. Display attributes like color or opacity are customizable.
Other Benefits
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.
All Open eVision Libraries For Windows And Linux
- Microsoft Windows 11, 10 for x86-64 (64-bit) processor architecture
- Microsoft Windows 11, 10 IoT Enterprise on x86_64 systems
- Linux for x86-64 (64-bit) and ARMv8-A (64-bit) processor architectures with a glibc version greater or equal to 2.18
Full Featured Interactive Demo Application
A demo application for Easy3DObject is provided with complete source code. Using that application, the user will be able to learn and experiment with all the features of the Easy3DObject library. Additionally, code snippets can be generated and integrated into their applications.
Metric Detection Criteria
The 3D object detection algorithm uses several geometric criteria to focus only on the required objects. These criteria are the size (length, width and height), the angle (orientation and tilt), the aspect ratio, the area and the volume of the objects. These parameters are expressed in real-world coordinate units. Using these criteria, the user can limit the extraction to the objects relevant to the inspection.
Compatibility With 3D Sensors
The Easy3D library is able to import data from third-party 3D sensors from Automation Technology, Azure Kinect, Benano, Heliotis, IDS Ensenso, Intel Realsense, Lucid Helios, LMI Gocator, Mech-Mind, Nerian Ruby, Photoneo PhoXi, Shenzhen SinceVision (SSZN), Zivid and others. Point Clouds and ZMaps are managed efficiently and allow 3D processing and analysis to be performed.
Open eVision 3D Studio
Open eVision 3D Studio is the 3D evaluation and prototyping application tool of Open eVision.
The Open eVision 3D Studio application drastically simplifies the configuration of single and dual 3D laser line inspection systems using the Coaxlink Quad 3D-LLE frame grabber, as well as the Easy3D and Easy3DLaserLine libraries.
Open eVision 3D Studio is free and does not require any license.
