3D Machine Vision Reference Design Based on AM572x Processor with DLP® Structured Light

TIDEP0076

Design files

Overview

The TIDEP0076 3D machine vision design describes an embedded 3D scanner based on the structured light principle. A digital camera along with a Sitara™ AM57xx processor System on Chip (SoC)  is used to capture reflected light patterns from a DLP4500-based projector. Subsquent processing of captured patterns, calculation of the object's 3D point cloud and its 3D visualization are all performed within the AM57xx processor SoC. This design provides an embedded solution with advantages in power, simplicity, cost and size over a host PC-based implementation.

Features
  • Demonstration of 3D machine vision inspection with DLP® technology-based structured light techniques.
  • Fully embedded 3D machine vision system based on Sitara AM57xx SoC and DLP Lightcrater™ 4500. No PC required.
  • Provides 3D object point cloud
  • Demonstrates generation and rendering of 3D point clouds utilizing the integrated processor cores and graphics processor in the AM572x SOC.
  • This reference design is built on existing EVMs and includes all the software, files and documentation needed.
