Basler 3D Cameras

Simplify your system with sensors for the third dimension

3D vision has been a fast-growing entry on the markets for industrial image processing, opening up an ever-growing range of possibilities. In the coming years, 3D will become increasingly significant especially due to the trend towards Industry 4.0 and the growth of automation. 3D image processing is used in particular whenever volumes, shapes or the 3D position of objects will be analyzed. Depth information can also be used to handle tasks in the examination of objects and defect images that do not have enough contrast for 2D but do show a recognizable difference in height.

However, existing industrial 3D solutions are often too complex and expensive for many "simple" 3D applications. Basler offers 3D technology suitable for the mass market: with the Basler blaze camera with integrated DepthSense™ technology from Sony, we help our customers lower their total system costs and design their 3D applications more efficiently.

How Does a ToF Camera Work?

The measurement principle is based on the time the light needs to travel from the light source to the object and back to the camera; the further the distance, the longer the time taken. Both light source and image acquisition are synchronized in such a way that the distances can be extracted and calculated from the image data.
