The capture and 3D reconstruction of objects in motion typically requires a tradeoff between good quality or high speed. Not any more.

Description:
Photoneo's MotionCam-3D, a IP65 rated 3D camera for scanning objects in rapid motion, is based on Photoneo’s patented technology called “Parallel Structured Light”. Implemented by a custom CMOS image sensor, the MotionCam-3D can capture objects moving up to 144 km/h and provide a high-quality 3D reconstruction with a point cloud resolution and with a high level of detail on edges. In addition to capturing dynamic scenes, MotionCam-3D offers modes for scanning static scenes, and a 2D mode for texture images without 3D information.

Analysis:
The capture and 3D reconstruction of objects in motion, is challenging, typically requiring a tradeoff between good quality or high speed . MotionCam-3D’s ability to capture and reconstruct objects moving quickly and unpredictably with high resolution and accuracy makes it suitable for many common industrial applications such as bin-picking and belt-picking, machine tending, quality control and more. Perhaps more importantly, Photoneo's MotionCam-3D opens up completely new opportunities for automation both for the imaging and handling of objects in motion (including employing machine learning), but also the sensing and monitoring of dynamic operating environments themselves. – Dan Kara
