3D Matching

The object's 3D position and orientation is determined by matching multiple 2D views of a known 3D object.

Introduction of the technology

With 3D matching, it is possible to recognize and determine the 3D pose of arbitrary 3D objects even with only one camera.

Particularly suitable for ...

3D alignment, i.e., finding the 3D pose (position and orientation) of an object, e.g., within automotive and robotics applications, pick-and-place applications, and bin picking. A further possibility is the measuring of geometric features on complex 3D objects after 3D alignment.

Supported by HALCON

HALCON's 3D matching determines the 3D position and orientation of 3D objects. This is done by using the technology of shape-based matching extended to 3D by using multiple 2D views of the 3D object, represented by their CAD model. Alternatively, HALCON's surface-based 3D matching can be used, which is optimized to also find objects with a smooth surface. To gain highest accuracy, both methods provide a refinement of the pose in the full 3D space.
