Patent number: 12205264Abstract: This invention provides a system and method that efficiently detects objects imaged using a 3D camera arrangement by referencing a cylindrical or spherical surface represented by a point cloud, and measures variant features of an extracted object including volume, height, and center of mass, bounding box, and other relevant metrics. The system and method, advantageously, operates directly on unorganized and un-ordered points, requiring neither a mesh/surface reconstruction nor voxel grid representation of object surfaces in a point cloud. Based upon a cylinder/sphere reference model, an acquired 3D point cloud is flattened. Object (blob) detection is carried out in the flattened 3D space, and objects are converted back to the 3D space to compute the features, which can include regions that differ from the regular shape of the cylinder/sphere. Downstream utilization devices and/or processes, such as part reject mechanism and/or robot manipulators can act on the identified feature data.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2021Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Cognex CorporationInventors: Hongwei Zhu, Daniel Moreno
