Typical Applications

To create a new typical application project, please go to Typical Applications ‣ New Typical Application Project on the Menu bar.

To successfully run a project in the field, please make the following preparations:

  • Mount, secure, and wire the camera to make sure the software can connect to the camera. Please see Mounting the Camera and Connect a Camera for details.

  • Prepare a calibration board, which should have clear circle grid patterns and no noticeable scratches or bending deformation.

  • Preparation works are slightly different between different projects. The other types of preparation work will be elaborated in corresponding sections below.


Practical guides corresponding to different application scenarios will be provided later, which will involve:

  1. Preparation

  2. Project deployment

  3. Running and debugging

Please refer to different sections based on actual needs of the project.


Depalletizing

../../_images/typical_project_1.png

Applicable to the logistics industry. Usually used to recognize objects as cartons, sacks, etc. A variety of deep learning algorithms will be used in the project, and objects can be recognized either when they are closely stacked or placed randomly.


Machine Tending

../../_images/typical_project_2.png

Applicable to pick and move complex workpieces, structural parts, irregular parts, and other objects in the automotive, steel, machinery, and other industries. Able to handle a variety of complex situations, and able to deal with metals with varying reflectivity to a certain extent.

According to the features of the objects to pick, machine tending in Mech-Vision can be categorized into the following three scenarios:


Piece Picking (by Vacuum Gripper)

../../_images/typical_project_3.png

Applicable to the express industry. Able to deal with packaging cartons, parcels, envelopes, boxes, bags, bottles, etc. Able to work against reflective tapes, complex surface patterns, and parcel labels.

According to whether the object is placed in a bin, Piece Picking can be categorized into the following two scenarios:


High Precision Positioning
