Abstract: A system for determining spraying information used for spraying a 3D object using a spray tool is provided. The system includes a 3D image capturing device and a computing device. The 3D image capturing device is configured to capture a 3D image of the 3D object. The computing device is configured to determine a plurality of border data points of the 3D object based on the 3D image, to determine a plurality of inside points positioned on a surface of the 3D object within a range defined among the border data points according to a spray width with which the spray tool is to spray the 3D object, and to output the border data points and the inside points as the spraying information for spraying the 3D object.

Abstract: A method for automatic calibration of a needle position relative to a coordinate system of a sewing machine includes: controlling a X-Y table to move a pallet to bring a sheet under a needle, lowering the needle to penetrate the sheet to form a needle hole and raising the needle, controlling the X-Y table to move the pallet to bring a reference mark and the test hole into an FOV of an image capturing device, obtaining an image of the pallet which contains the reference mark and the needle hole, determining an amount of separation of the needle hole from the reference mark in the image, and calibrating the needle position relative to the coordination system based on the amount of separation thus determined and a reference distance.
