3D vision systems are being implemented throughout a number of inspection applications that previously could not be addressed with conventional 2D vision systems.
IN CONTRAST TO TRADITIONAL MACHINE VISION SYSTEMS THAT PROVIDE INFORMATION IN TWO DIMENSIONS, 3-D PROVIDES MORE INFORMATION ABOUT MANUFACTURING PROCESSES.
