3D machine vision is the application of 3D imaging techniques in industrial processes, focusing on tasks like inspection, measurement, and automation. It combines cameras, sensors, and software to analyze objects in three dimensions for improved precision and efficiency. In manufacturing, 3D machine vision is used for quality control. Systems can detect defects, measure dimensions, and ensure products meet specifications. For example, automotive industries rely on it to verify weld integrity and align components during assembly. Another application is robotic guidance. 3D vision helps robots accurately pick and place items, even in unstructured environments. This is essential in warehouses and logistics, where objects may vary in size and orientation. Additionally, it supports processes like bin picking and palletizing in factories.
