Overview
National Instruments is introducing an experimental version of the 3D Vision Toolkit. By allowing for 3D Image processing in LabVIEW, NI is taking the first step to address requirements in plane surface defect inspection and 3D metrology applications. The 3D Vision Toolkit contains a set of APIs that can help create simple 3D Machine Vision analysis. We encourage users to actively give feedback and feature requests so that we can address these as quickly as possible and push new updates to the toolkit.
Description
The 3D Vision Toolkit provides basic 3D file I/O capabilities, point cloud processing, visualization, and basic metrology capabilities. The 3D Vision Toolkit also provides capabilities to load point clouds from a depth image or set data directly to a point cloud.
