Cognex Corporation: 3D location software

Handles a wide variety of parts, including items that are stacked or tilted. Improves vision performance in applications such as logistics and robot-guided de-palletizing and precision assembly. 3D-Locate draws upon patented geometric pattern-matching algorithms and provides a library of 3D vision software tools that expands application possibilities. Uses multiple sets of 2-D features to determine an object’s precise three-dimensional orientation. Works even when some features are obscured or are not found by all of the cameras
