SilhouetteMatchAI

Advanced Software Solution for AI-Enabled Handling of Planar Objects

AI-Enabled Handling of Planar Objects

SilhouetteMatchAI is an AI-enabled advancement of the rc_reason SilhouetteMatch machine tending module. Similar to the classic module, it detects the position and orientation of relatively flat objects by matching a given scene to a previously taught template. However, thanks to the innovative AI component in this module, a base plane calibration is not required and more challenging use cases can be adressed: 

Thanks to an AI-based segmentation, a highly robust detection is ensured even in case of mixed objects and/or un-sorted scenes. An (optional) overlap detection allows for a precise detection and safe picking of partly occluded parts, meaning that even unorganized piles can be handled.

SilhouetteMatchAI in a Nutshell

  • Detection of planar objects, calculation of their 3D pose and definition of grasp points
  • AI-based segmentation for highly robust detection
  • Overlap detection enables picking of partly occluded parts 
  • Runs on rc_cube only
  • Easy template generation via DXF-upload
  • Includes ‘classic’ SilhouetteMatch

Depending on scene/ object complexity for this AI-enabled handling of planar objects, coupling the module with an rc_randomdot projector is advisable.
