PolygonMatch locates any object with sub-pixel resolution
The PolygonMatch Technology locates any object based on multiple user defined polygons robustly with sub-pixel accuracy. TemplateFinder3 is a high performance cross-correlation based pattern matcher powered by PolygonMatch technology handling rotation, perspective and scaling.
Easy to use four to six point 2D Robot Calibration
Scorpion uses a standard four point calibration to enable the system always to work in robot coordinates. Multiple coordinates systems are supported. With five or six points you can evaluate the accuarcy of the calibration.
Combining four point calibration with 5th or 6th order lens calibration improves the precision to a sub-pixel level even with a wide angle lens. To the right a typical lens calibration is shown. This feature is important for 3D Stereo Vision systems because the 3D accuracy is directly proportional with 2D resolution. True sub-pixel will increase the height resolution by a factor of 10!
Scorpion uses a simple two step 3D camera calibration. This removes the need for multiple 2D calibrations. When finding objects at different heights, the 2D coordinate systems are dynamically generated. This is often was make 3D Stereo Vision a viable solution with Scorpion Vision. Scorpion 8 supports easy to use chessboard calibration.
Using the high quality firewire or GigE cameras – the image quality is ensured even when mounting the camera on the robot. The cameras is available in two versions: monochrome and colour both supported by Scorpion Vision. With analog signal transmission, it can be difficult to shield the cable to ensure image quality. Cable lengths up to 100 meters is supported with standard GigE components. We recommend using flexlink cables when mounting the camera on a robot. In complex applications where two or more cameras are needed, these can easily be added at low cost. Both vga, sxga and higher resolution cameras are supported when high resolution and high quality is required.
Combining Sony or IqEye Networks cameras and Scorpion Vision Software users can make wireless robot vision systems. Scorpion can run multiple 3D robot vision systems on one computer.
Using the unique PolygonMatch™ edge tool Scorpion locates any object based on multiple user defined polygons.
TemplateFinder3 locates multiple objects with sub-pixel accuracy. It can handle scaling, translation rotation and perspective. Supporting multiple named templates it can easily be configured to handle automatic product changes. With the interactive Polygon Model Wizard optimal models describing an object ensures robust and accurate object location
Scorpion Vision is used for 3D Stereo Vision based Bin Picking

3D geometrical models are today important tools in product design, development and production. High competence and effective utilization of such tools can back up a continuation of production in countries with high cost of living.
A condition for the industry to develop the use of such tools is that methods exists to effectively measure and control the product’s actual geometry.
Traditionally mechanical measuring apparatus are used to read off object’s geometry. These are however too slow and unsuited for automatic measurements in a production line.
The Scorpion 3D Modeller makes 3D technology available and applicable also for the smaller companies. A flexible 3D camera based on structured light is used, low cost components as well as concepts and accompanying tools to specify and automatically process and extract requested geometrical measures.
The aim of this system is specifically random bin picking and three dimensional measurements. We target 100% product quality control and increased production volume.
The technology fills the gap between expensive and complex DAK systems and flexible 2D machine vision systems. This is obtained by making the utilization of 3D measurements possible for direct production line inspection and for use in product development.
3D measurements are performed on an automotive V-stay in the image above. Two cylinder fits are used to establish a high precision reference of the part.
