The new stereo vision building kit from Autovimation is extended by an electronics box, calculating the stereo image from two USB cameras with FPGA support. The output delivers a depth of field image or point cloud that is transmitted to a PC via Ethernet to be processed there. The system works with ambient light, but light sources or pattern projectors can be added if necessary. The advantage compared with common stereo sensors is, that the user has full control over the system – the optical base (distance between cameras), camera resolution, lens, working distance – everything can be configured by the customer. The complete set-up is IP66 proof and therefor suitable for wash-down conditions. Only connection needed is a LAN and Trigger/Power cable. The stereo vision box can be mounted to the Autovimation dovetail profiles that hold also the two camera enclosures.
