  • Publication number: 20250164639
    Abstract: The invention proposes a sensing system for point clouds and images. The system includes a point cloud sensor, an image sensor, and a computing module. The point cloud sensor captures point cloud information of a target object. The image sensor captures a two-dimensional image of the target object. The computing module extracts three-dimensional feature points from the point cloud information and two-dimensional feature points from the two-dimensional image, and calculates multiple coefficients in a transformation matrix based on coordinates of the three-dimensional feature points and coordinates of the two-dimensional feature points. The computing module also performs a coordinate transformation process on the point cloud information or the two-dimensional image according to the transformation matrix.
