Textured 3D Point Clouds – The Power of Sensor Fusion

3D vision and robotics

Combining 2D and 3D sensor data often requires significant effort for calibration, synchronization, and data processing. In this session, we show how the fusion of Nion 3D data with 2D RGB camera data simplifies this task by providing pre-aligned data in a shared coordinate system.

Learn how synchronized color and depth data can be visualized with IDS peak and used for applications such as colorized point clouds, object localization, and robot guidance. See how a pre-calibrated setup reduces integration effort and accelerates the development of 2D/3D vision applications.
