rc_visard Stereo Sensor
The four versions of the rc_visard feature two different baselines (65 mm, 160 mm) and a color or monochrome acquisition capacity.
Particularly suitable for robot/ arm-mounting, e.g. for pick-and-place tasks, in challenging lighting conditions.
Particularly suitable for robot/ arm-mounting, e.g. for pick-and-place tasks, when color differentiation is required.
rc_visard 160 monochrome
(in two variants)
Particularly suitable for static mounting and challenging lighting conditions; also available with a focal length (lenses) of 6 mm for set-ups with a larger viewing distance.
Particularly suitable for static mounting, e.g. in a robot cell, or mobile applications when color differentiation is required.
NEW! rc_visard NG: The flexible vision platform rc_visard NG allows the easy integration of proven software solutions with application-specific additions. The ‘next generation’ of the rc_visard is powered by today’s most advanced embedded AI solution, the NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ series.
A Plug-and-Play Machine Vision Solution
rc_visard users do not need experience or expertise in machine vision:
Thanks to its user-friendly web interface, the rc_visard can be used intuitively and the installation effort is reduced to a minimum.
The rc_visard can also be connected and configured via Rest-API, ROS, and GenICam.
rc_visard accessories
The rc_randomdot is a specifically tailored projector that can be used as an optional enhancement to the rc_visard. It is recommended when the perception of particularly difficult scenes with little or no natural texture is required.
The rc_cube S is a the ideal edge computer for your rc_visard: It increases the performance of the rc_reason modules and is particularly useful for applications in which high-speed processing is of the essence.
A ConnectivityKit and CalibrationGrid are optionally available with your rc_visard. The modules of the rc_reason software suite optimize the sensor’s performance for specific applications.
rc_visard Features and Specifications
FIELD OF VIEW
ON-BOARD FEATURES
STEREO DATA PROCESSING
Camera Image
The image of the left camera serves as reference image for the image data set.
Depth Image
Distance from sensor to environment is computed through triangulation of the stereo image using the SGM methodology. It serves as input for point cloud generation and 3D reconstruction.
Confidence Image
The confidence image shows the confidence in each measured value for further processing steps.
3D Reconstruction
3D reconstruction, calculated from the depth image, no texture.
Depth Image and Point Cloud
With an integrated graphics card, depth images are processed directly onboard the sensor and do not require any external computing power. This is an ideal prerequisite for mobile robotic systems. Point clouds can be easily generated from the depth images.
Position and Orientation
Using the most advanced visual inertial odometry algorithms, rc_visard records its current position and alignment with highest precision. The low latency allows for direct integration into the control loop when rc_visard is mounted on a robot.
Indoor and Outdoor Use
rc_visard can be used reliably in indoor and outdoor areas.
Global Shutter
Accurate image data even with fast movements
Cooperative
Several sensors can operate in a limited space without interference.
