App Note: Helios2 and Triton Sync

Introduction LUCID Vision Labs now offers the Helios2 & RGB Kit, which allows users to capture color 3D images by combining LUCID’s HLT003S-001 and TRI032S-CC cameras. The setup of this kit is discussed in the following articles:   https://support.thinklucid.com/knowledgebase/using-lucid-3d-rgb-ip67-kit-in-arenaview/ https://support.thinklucid.com/app-note-helios-3d-point-cloud-with-rgb-color/ See the examples Cpp_HLTRGB_1_Calibration, Cpp_HLTRGB_2_Orientation, and Cpp_HLTRGB_3_Overlay included with the SDK. However, the images captured [...]

Introduction This document will discuss how to display a color point cloud by overlaying the Helios ToF camera point cloud data onto RGB data from a Triton color camera. The foundation of the app note is based on OpenCV's "Camera Calibration and 3D Reconstruction" documentation. The following is a brief summary of our steps: Place [...]

Introduction Many high precision applications using machine vision cameras require the camera to capture a frame at a precision instant (ie. When the target object moves into camera’s field of view) or multiple cameras to capture frames synchronously. This application note outlines the method available to trigger the camera to capture a single frame, a [...]

Introduction In machine vision applications, cameras often need to be synchronized with other cameras or devices such as lighting and controllers to capture images precisely. What is the Precision Time Protocol (PTP)? Precision Time Protocol (PTP or IEEE1588) is an IEEE standard that has been integrated into GigE Vision 2.0. It is a method of [...]
