The Stereo Vision Principle & FlexView technology

The Ensenso N, C, X and XR Series 3D cameras and camera systems produce 3D data based on the stereo vision principle. Stereo vision emulates human vision with two cameras focused on the same object from different vantage points. Closing one eye and then quickly opening the eye while closing the other eye is an example of how two cameras work from different vantage points.

High-contrast textures are projected onto the object(s) to be imaged with a pattern mask to build a disparity map (a map of the pixel difference between a pair of stereo images) to analyze the object's surface.

For static objects Ensenso cameras improve on the stereo principle with FlexView technology. With the mechanical system's piezoelectric actuator the projection rays are shifted linearly in small increments to produce varying textures of an object's surface which captures multiple image pairs with significantly more pixels and structural details even on reflective, glossy or dark surfaces. The result is higher resolution, low noise 3D disparity images with more point clouds. The higher quality data also reduces the time required for post-processing.

Flexview Demonstration

This video demonstrates how Flexview how the mechanical system's piezoelectric actuator shifts the pattern linearly in small increments to produce varying textures of the object's surface which captures multiple image pairs with more pixels and structural details. A matching algorithm processes the image pairs. The result is that the data from the disparity map is improved with higher resolution 3D images and less noise.
