Basler Application Software for Robotics
Modular software suite for your vision-guided robotics application

Designed to make your robots perform at their best. Suitable for typical robotics applications such as object recognition, picking tasks and navigation, the plug-and-play software modules are easy to activate and intuitive to use. Choose from the application-specific modules exactly the ones you need for your individual requirements and keep your overall system costs low.
Application software modules
The 3D TagDetect Module not only detects AprilTags and QR codes on objects, it also calculates the 3D position and orientation of each tag relative to the camera, all with a detection time of less than one second.
The module is a fundamental component for the efficient identification and manipulation of labelled objects, e.g. in pick-and-place applications. Further, it can significantly facilitate mobile applications as the Basler Stereo Camera can localize itself in space using pre-installed QR codes or AprilTags as a reference.
3D TagDetect is included in the standard onboard software package for the Basler Stereo Camera series.
Technical Specifications
Hardware requirements | Any Basler Stereo Camera Onboard installation, thus no additional external hardware required |
Tag size requirements | Minimum size of each tag module: QR Code: 6 px AprilTag: 5 px |

Grasp computation time | 1-3 seconds (depending on workspace dimensions and number of grasps) |
The optional 3D BoxPick Module for the Basler Stereo Camera Series allows robots to pick unordered and unsorted packages out of a bin and palletize these packages in a pre-defined oriented way. Obviously, it can also de-palletize objects to a conveyor belt, for cross-belt sorters, for example.
Using the Basler Stereo Camera randomdot Projector is crucial to support all kinds of surfaces, especially when the natural scene texture of a package is insufficient. The Projector’s ExposureActiveAlternate mode sets the output high during the exposure time for every image in order to improve the quality of the depth image for every image.
Technical Specifications
Hardware requirements | Any Basler Stereo Camera Onboard installation, no need for additional hardware Stereo Camera randomdot Projector and IO Control Robotic system equipped with suction or grasp device |
Depth range (recommendation) | 0.2-1 m for Basler Camera 65 0.5-1.4 m for Basler Camera 160 For greater depth ranges, please contact us prior to your purchase |
Grasp computation time | 1-3 seconds (depending on the number of grasps and workspace dimensions) |
Capturing mode | One-shot mode |
Detecting flat objects on a plane surface: a challenging 3D vision task that becomes significantly easier with the use of the 3D SilhouetteMatch Module. This module is an optional software component for any Basler Stereo Camera and is operated through the cameras’s interface. Typical applications include emptying load carriers of several separated layers of objects or machine tending.
The 3D SilhouetteMatch Module requires a template of the objects that are to be detected.
Especially in cases when the base surface is detected using the Basler Stereo Camera’s point cloud, it is recommended to combine the module with the Stereo Camera randomdot Projector.
Technical Specifications
Hardware requirements | Any Basler Stereo Camera Onboard installation, thus no additional external hardware required Stereo Camera randomdot Projector if point cloud is used for plane estimation Robotic system equipped with grasping device |
Depth range (recommendation) | 0.2-1 m for Basler Stereo Camera 65 0.5-1.5 m for Basler Stereo Camera 160 For greater depth ranges, please contact us prior to your purchase. |
Grasp computation time | 1-3 seconds (depending on scene and objects) |
Capturing mode | One-shot mode |
A CAD model of an object, AppliedAI-based machine learning, and highly intuitive user interfaces: That’s how the CADMatch Module allows non-experts to configure grasp points and implement a pick-and-place application with no more than a few mouse clicks. The software module permits the specification of one or more grasp points per object, thus enabling a suction device or a two-finger gripper to reliably pick objects from a bin or cage.
All the 3D CADMatch Module requires is a template of the object to be detected to serve as input to an AppliedAI-based detection process.
This module runs off-board the Basler Stereo Camera on the Stereo Camera Cube (not included). It is operated through an intuitive WebGUI interface which includes a grasp-teaching interface. Please note that purchasing the Stereo Camera Cube is necessary to operate the 3D CADMatch Module.
Technical Specifications
Hardware requirements | Any Basler Stereo Camera Stereo Camera Cube: mandatory, off-board installation required Robotic system with grasping device |
Minimum object size (recommendation) | Stereo Camera 65 (color/mono): 28.1 cm at 3.0 m 18.8 cm at 2.0 m 9.4 cm at 1.0 m 4.7 cm at 0.5 m 1.9 cm at 0.2 m Stereo Camera 160 (color/mono): 28.1 cm at 3.0 m 18.8 cm at 2.0 m 9.4 cm at 1.0 m 4.7 cm at 0.5 m Stereo Camera 160 Mono (6 mm): 18.8 cm at 3.0 m 12.5 cm at 2.0 m 6.3 cm at 1.0 m 3.1 cm at 0.5 m For greater viewing distances or smaller object sizes, please contact us. |
Grasp computation time | 1-3 seconds (depending on object and scene) |
Capturing mode | One-shot mode |
Please note that usage of the 3D SLAM Module is restricted to LOW-MEDIUM-HIGH resolution, which is entirely sufficient for conventional mobile navigation tasks. The module cannot be used with the FULL resolution stereo setting.
Useful enhancements
URCap
Run any Basler Stereo Camera on your Universal Robot easily with URCap. It’s available for download free of charge. The URCap requires PolyScope version 3.7.0 (or higher) for CB-Series robots or version 5.2.0 (or higher) for E-Series robots.
SGM® Producer
The SGM® Producer is a software library for running stereo matching processes on the graphics card of an external computer. It’s particularly useful when high-speed processing is crucial.
EKI Bridge
The Ethernet KRL Interface (EKI Bridge) allows communicating with the Basler Stereo Camera from KUKA KRL via KUKA.EthernetKRL XML. It enables the use of all onboard modules from KUKA KSS controllers without external IPC.
IO Control
This software module is included in the standard onboard software package for the Basler Stereo Camera Series. It allows usage of the camera’s digital IOs to control external devices such as the Stereo Camera randomdot Projector.
