Abstract
Light-stripping, whereby a laser or other source of a stripe of light in conjunction with a single camera can provide three-dimensional information of a scene, can be used to estimate the volume of a seam gap for welding, filling, or gluing robots, and thus provide automated feedrate control. The geometry of light-striping systems is analyzed to yield an efficient method to map the locations of stripe pixels in the image to three-dimensional coordinates. Methods are discussed to determine fill-points by recognizing the pattern produced by seam walls despite noise. Combined with computation of areas and volumes, the steps simplify to an effective algorithm for microprocessor implementation.
