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, synchronisation, 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 to visualise and use synchronised colour and depth data with the IDS peak Software Development Kit to generate colorised point clouds, localise objects, and guide robots. See how a pre-calibrated setup reduces integration effort and accelerates the development of 2D/3D vision applications.
