Acquisition of range images in an integrated vision system environment
Mohd Arif Wani, Bruce G. Batchelor · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1993
The paper presents a simple laser based triangulation system to acquire range images. The problems of high speed serpentine/raster scanning and sensor-output bottle-neck are addressed here by using a thin plane fan of laser light, and a linear variable neutral density filter. It also proposes a Prolog based integrated vision system environment for acquisition, processing, and understanding of range images.
