3D tomato seedling sorting - MVTec Halcon

The manual grading of seedlings at companies involved in plant growing and breedingis both labour-intensive, time consuming and expensive. 


Now, an automated system that uses 3D-vision techniques in combination with knowledge-based formalisms has been developed to grade seedlings according to their quality. The system has already been installed by Flier Systems BV at the Westlandse Plantenkwekerij (WPK).

All-in-one Illumination Solution - Deediim Sensors

Engineers usually depend on their knowledge and experience when choosing the correct lighting but if unsuccessful, this can lead to an extensive and time-consuming process. This is because there are hundreds of different lightings that exist in the market and most applications require a different lighting depending on its surface property and geometry.

This is the main reason why many engineers still spend a lot of time selecting the correct lighting for different types of applications (e.g. lighting type, size, color, gradation, etc.).

The free-illumination mode is an all-in-one solution that can replicate most lighting products out in the market, just by using one lighting system. This has been made possible by using a proprietary lighting system where hundreds of LEDs are independently controllable.

Every single LED’s brightness and color can be controlled, meaning you can now draw & replicate all sorts of lighting conditions according to your needs. This will benefit engineers to a great extent when selecting correct lightings and can also simplify machine vision systems that use multiple lightings for inspection.

Introduction to Surface-based Matching Tutorial - MVTec Halcon

This tutorial introduces surface-based matching with MVTec HALCON. Surface-based matching can be used to locate objects using a 3D sensor. 

0:14 Basics of surface-based matching
0:28 Example: Locate pipe joints in a 3D scene
0:47 Create a surface model
1:53 Find the surface model
2:54 debug_find_surface_model
4:30 Interpret the score of find_surface_model


As an example, we create a surface model of a pipe joint using a CAD file. Then, we find the pipe joint in several 3D scenes. Lastly, we learn about different parameters of this process and how to find possible problems.

Surface Inspection System - Deediim Sensors

Surface defects can be defined by the change in surface property. For example, surface defects such as dents can be seen as a change in surface inclination, scratch as a change in surface roughness while stain can be seen as a change in surface reflectivity. But until now, conventional lighting products have been used to detect surface defects only by utilizing brightness values, which has caused poor and unstable results. Furthermore, if a surface had changes in reflectance and geometry, this usually resulted in crucial information loss.

To overcome these obstacles, we have developed a lighting system that directly measures 3 surface properties (inclination, roughness and reflectivity) by combining multiple images and outputting it as processed images. These high-quality images can be used to detect complex defects regardless of sample & lighting conditions. In addition, classifying defects can also be achieved by a combination of the processed images. These high-quality images can especially be a good fit when combined with deep learning (AI) solutions.
