Description:
2023 RBR50 LogoPhotoneo MotionCam-3D Color is a camera that combines 3D data, motion and color to create colorful 3D point clouds in real time. Powered by patented parallel structured light technology, it projects one sweep of laser onto the scene and produces structured light patterns on the sensor side. The technology enables the capture of objects moving up to 144 km/h (89 m/h), providing a point cloud resolution of 0.9 Mpx and an accuracy of 300-1,250 μm, depending on the model.

Analysis:
We are seeing a huge boom in vision-guided robotics as more and more industries are turning to automation via advanced 3D sensors. The color feature was a missing puzzle piece in Photoneo’s technology portfolio. These three core properties of the MotionCam-3D Color - high-quality 3D data, a continuous stream of 3D point clouds and the ability to capture color data - on their own are not unique in the world of 3D vision. But if you combine them into one device, as Photoneo has done, that could be beneficial to streamlining the robotics development process. The properties of MotionCam- 3D Color could open up completely new automation possibilities for any type of project that requires the creation of 3D models. – Steve Crowe
