(AQSENSE: Girona, Spain) -- AQSENSE has incorporated into 3DExpress a new functionality to configure, with a single click, the “one camera—multiple lasers system,” which avoids capturing occlusions.

3DExpress software was presented November 2012 at the VISION show with the slogan, “3D Machine Vision Made Easy,” due to its graphical assistance allowing the configuration and debugging of 3D laser acquisition systems without the need of programming skills.

New tools are continually being developed and added to 3DExpress. The “one camera—multiple lasers configuration” is one of the latest advances and will be soon available for download at AQSENSE’s webpage.

When scanning an object under a laser-triangulation system, some parts of the piece cannot be reached by the laser stripe due to the occlusions created by the object shape; therefore, no data are obtained from these regions. A typical way to avoid this problem entailed using two cameras, each pointing the object in a different angle, which increases the configuration complexity and the corresponding price.
