Edge Detection

Edge Detection is a critical image processing technique that identifies the boundaries or edges of objects within an image, allowing for precise measurements of shape and position. When combined with 3D sensor technology, edge detection becomes even more powerful, as it enables a detailed analysis of three-dimensional shapes and surfaces in industrial applications.

Our 3D sensors use advanced edge detection algorithms to map the contours of objects with high precision. This is particularly valuable in object measurement (metrology) and robot guidance, where knowing the exact position and shape of an object is essential for accurate positioning and handling. For example, in automated assembly processes, edge detection helps ensure that parts are perfectly aligned before they are fitted together.

By using edge detection with 3D sensors, manufacturers can improve quality control, enhance the accuracy of machine vision systems, and enable precise automation processes. This technology helps detect defects such as misalignments, shape distortions, and other structural inconsistencies that could affect the performance of a product.
